Version 0.5 Started: August 10, 2005 Completed: September 01, 2005 -Completed Table of Contents -Completed Introduction/about me -Completed How this guide works -Completed In Closing/Legal Blurb -Created "skeleton" of sections 3 through 8 (which will be filled out as content becomes available) Version 1.0 Started: September 08, 2005 Completed: September 10, 2005 -Completed NHL Roster Changes through todaay (the 10th) -Added 15 CAPs courtesy of LeatherFace61 -Added "NHL Prospect Pools" to the Elite LLeague Changes section (list of Elite League players whose rights belong to NHL clubs) -Added player rating edit for Henrik Ludnqqvist (to make an NHL-acceptable overall rating instead of his default 93) Version 1.1 Started: September 11, 2005 Completed: September 11, 2005 -Added 3 roster moves (things I forgot to add in the original release) -Added a few more CAPs courtesy Leatherfacce -Fixed an error with the prospect pool (I listed JYP as an elitserien team. It is actually in SM-Liiga) Version 1.2 Started: September 12, 2005 Completed: September 12, 2005 -Added 1 roster move -Added players to the prospect pool workinng alphabetically up to Dallas. -Added several CAPs Version 1.3 Started: September 14, 2005 Completed: September 14, 2005 -Added more players to the prospect pool ((up to Nashville) -Decided against adding more CAPs until LeeatherFace has the opportunity to tone them down (as he wants to do). -Added a couple of roster moves. Version 1.4 Started: September 15, 2005 Completed: September 15: 2005 -LeatherFace toned down his CAPs and addedd more, so that update has been reflected. -Continued adding players to the prospect pool. -Added a couple of minor roster moves. Version 1.5 Started: September 16, 2005 Completed: September 17, 2005 -Finished NHL prospect pools -Two more NHL moves (Brian Savage, Mikael Samuelsson) Version 1.6 Started: September 20, 2005 Completed: September 22, 2005 -More NHL moves (Arkhipov, Somik, Hahl, & Deadmarsh) -Added a created team courtesy of Colin Liim Version 1.7 Started: September 26, 2005 Completed: October 4, 2005 First, I want to apologize for the length of time it took me to get this new update finished. I've had lots on my plate the last couple of weeks and thus have not had the time I would want to commit to this guide. Hopefully I can stay more on top of things as the regular season begins and rosters take a more definate shape, then I can relax knowing that moves won't be as fast or furious as they have been to this point. Basically, what's new in this version is just a bunch of cleanup in the post training camp world. Some cuts, some removal of the *has a training camp tryout* notation, that sort of thing. There are also some new CAPs from LeatherFace. Version 1.8 Started: October 7, 2005 Completed: October 9, 2005 -Minor NHL moves (Vancouver/NY Rangers deaal, Boumedienne to Switzerland, Wooley signs in Detroit) & some missed moves overseas. -A couple of NHL roster tweaks related to prospects that made the team who I didn't add eariler. -Created a NEW SECTION to hold line comboss and captaincy lists for all 30 NHL clubs. This release only has a preliminary list of captains. -Added changes in jersey numbers for all 330 teams -Began the process of identifying NHLers wwho are incorrectly still on Elite League teams. -Added a "ranking system" to the players oon the prospect pools to help judge the possibility of certain players coming over to play for their NHL rights holders. This should help people decide who's worth moving and who isn't (because I know that Washington and Nashville are already nearly full in terms of rosters and couldn't probably handle taking on all their prospects) Also, please note that I have added to the FAQ section. From here on out I WILL NOT, under ANY circumstances answer questions that are addressed in the FAQ section, the "Introduction"/"how this guide works" section, or anything else I deem self-explanatory. Version 1.9 Started: October 10, 2005 Completed: November 6, 2005 -Whole whack of new CAPs from LeatherFace,, and some player edits of his (well, they're actually CAPs, but are for guys already in the game from the Elite Leagues, so I put them as edits) -Some player edits (Goalie gear fixes [sorrta], a couple of light equipment changes) -A bunch of moves mostly relating to free agents now playing in Europe. I apologize a ton for the length of time it took to get this update up, you can blame 3 mid-terms and a research paper for that, as well as my own laziness. Hopefully this will be the last "big" update, as LF is releasing CAPs in small bursts of teams, and there shouldn't be another mass exodus of players like I have this time (which is only becuase I hadn't done the research). Hopefully next time I can start doing line combos, as well as updating the jersey numbers and captaincy lists. Version 2.0 Started: November 21, 2005 Completed: November 28, 2005 -Several NHL deals (All the Columbus-Anaheeim movement, Bos/Phx, And some moves involving the Oilers, plus the most recent deal, NJ/Phx) -With Biller88's excellent Player Edit guiide up, I've decided to remove the edits from my guide and give them to him. Leatherface's CAPs will remain, and I will shift the CAP-based edits of elite league players to that section for the time being. Jersey numbers and captaincy lists will also be in Biller's guide from now on. To take the place of section 6, I've come up with "NHL Team Reports." Every update, I'll do my best to add a couple of pieces for one or more teams until I've completed all 30 teams. Each team will have their regular strength line combos, some overall assessment of their strengths and weaknesses, and listings of the important players to keep an eye on in Dynasty Mode. Version 2.1 Started: November 30, 2005 Completed: December 3, 2005 -More NHL moves (waiver wire action, and tthe shocker Boston-San Jose deal) -some additions to the NHL tema reports seection (see that section for more info.) -A pair of new CAPs, not by LeatherFace, bbut by me On a somewhat odd personal note, let me say that although it sounds odd, making the necessary changes for the Joe Thornton to San Jose deal was a bittersweet thing for me. On the one hand, I'm absolutely thrilled that the Sharks land a player of Thornton's calibur. He is someone who can elevate this team and its current sorry state of affairs and turn it into a more competitive club instantly. However, I'm deeply saddened (as much as a sports fan can be) that it came at the cost of my favorite player, and one of the most beloved Sharks, Marco Sturm. While I made a point of trading for Sturm in almost every dynasty I've ever played as a team other than San Jose, it will be extremely odd to see Marco suituing up in the real NHL wearing Boston's black & gold. Although I don't normally want to turn this guide into some sort of personal platform for my opinions and feelings about players in the NHL, I sincerely wish Marco all the best in Boston, and I know that I'll always cheer for him no matter where he plays. Who knows, his contract is up in a couple of years, and maybe Doug Wilson (or whomever is in charge at that point) can find a way to work him back into the fold. I also hope that Boston fans realize they're getting a good player and a great guy, and don't take it out on Sturm, or any of the new Bruins, for the fact that management traded their captain and best player away. Also, I want to address something about the Owen Nolan situation. I have been reminded that my instructions to release Nolan are not entirely accurate. As of right now, Nolan is still officially property of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The most likely scenario is that when he is declared fit to play, the Leafs will almost immediately move to deal him somewhere. However, since I cannot control what the in-game Maple Leafs do with Nolan, and since he will be playing somewhere else, I decided it best from a gameplay aspect to leave him as a free agent so a team can pick him up in the dynasty mode. After all, it's not like Toronto is going to get a whole lot in return for him anyway. Version 2.2 Started: December 17, 2005 Completed: December 30, 2005 -A few NHL transfers -All 12 olympic teams have released their rosters. Not all teams have their 3 man "taxi squads" named, but those should come later. -I have some custom teams and line combos and such to add, but they won't be in this update, because I'm really short on time. CAPs are also coming in the next update. LF also has a bunch of CAPs on his site that I haven't got to yet Those will come later as well. Version 2.3 Started: January 19, 2006 Completed: January 25, 2006 -NHL transactions -Some olympic team changes -New CAPs I apologize for the length of time between updates. Post-Christmas wind down and some time under the weather left me without the time I wanted to work on this. Again, I'm going to have to put off line combos and whatnot, because I want to get the transactions up tonight. I'll start working on those after I submit this verison, and maybe in the next couple of days I can release Version 2.4 with all of those extras. =============================================================================== Section 1: Introduction/about me/FAQ [01IAM] =============================================================================== To skip to a given subsection, press ctrl+F and: *for the Introduction, enter [01a] *for the About Me piece, enter [01b] *for the Frequently Asked Questions, enter [01c] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Introduction [01a] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello, and welcome to the NHL 06 roster update FAQ. This guide represents my effort to provide you with the ability to keep your rosters current without having to utilize EA's roster updates (only available online), and without the need to manually keep track of all the player movement in the NHL yourself (which, believe me, is no easy task). If you read my roster update FAQ for NHL 2005, you will find this one quite similar in construction. If you haven't used my guide from last year, then I hope that you find this guide easy to use. The guide is broken up into 9 sections (not counting section 0, which contains the table of contents and version history). Those sections are: Section 1: Introduction/about me - This is what you are reading right now. It contains an overview of the guide and its sections. Also included is some brief background on me. There's also a set of frequently asked questions tacked on at the end. Section 2: How this guide works - This section provides brief examples and explanations of how I will list transactions in each section, and how CAPs and Created Teams will be listed. Section 3: NHL Roster changes - The meat of this guide. Here I will be going through all 30 clubs worth of changes. If a player is traded, signed, brought over from an in-game European Elite Leauge or released, you should be reading about it here. Section 3b: NHL Lines & Captains - New in Version 1.8, this list will hopefully keep up with the line combos teams use throughout a season, as well as the players assigned to wear the "C" and "A"s on each team. Read the top of that section for some more specific information. Section 4: International roster changes - This section will help you correct the rostes for national teams so that they can reflect the most recent appearance of that nation (for example, the Turin Olympics will be the first thing I correct for). Section 5: Elite League roster changes - This is the one section most likely to be barren or even eliminated from the guide. In the NHL 2005 guide, I used the Elite League section to cover the list of players who signed lockout deals in Finland, Sweden, or Germany (the three elite leagues represented in the game). Since there is no longer a lockout, I don't know what I'll do here. I might list players that go between the Elite Leauges and the NHL (as a sort of secondary list to from the NHL updates), or if I am feeling particularly ambitious, I might try and do some actual updating. You'll just have to stay tuned to see what happens. Section 6: Player Rating Changes - At long last, EA has put into the NHL franchise what Madden and NBA Live have had all along: the ability to change the individual ratings of real players without the need to duplicate them in the CAP mode. This section will (eventually) feature all the tweaks and fixes to the ratings of players on the NHL rosters to try and reflect the real world in a more accurate way. Section 7: Missing player CAPs - Thanks to CAP guru Leatherface61, who has agreed to supply my guide with the CAPs that he makes and posts on his website. This section will help you make all the guys who aren't in the game. From Sid the Kid all the way down to that 4th line injury call-up, if LF feels like making it, it will be here. Section 8: Created Teams - A sort of tribute to my very first GameFAQs guide, this section will contain a variety of teams made by myself and other users, all of which have some sort of interesting theme or idea behind them. From recreating the Winnipeg Jets to putting together a team of Britsh Columbia's best, you'll find the collective inginuity of the NHL 06 players here Section 9: In closing/Legal blurb - The dry stuff. My contact information can be found here, as well as any random musings I might have. The final piece of this guide will be the obligatory legal disclaimer. You know, don't steal my work, don't sell this for profit, don't send me hatemail meant for EA. That sort of thing... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About Me [01b] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So, who is the loony behind the excessivly long and blathering guide? As you might have guessed, I'm something of a hockey nut. When I'm not cheering a San Jose Sharks victory (despite my decidedly Canucks-centric location), or pouring over stats and transactions, I play games, go to college, slack off, hang out. You know, normal stuff. I'm quite the split personality, balancing my sports-crazed side with the geeky side that likes computers, gaming, and The Transformers. This work represents my fourth contribution to GameFAQs. You might have previously read my work in: -The NHL 2004 custom team mode FAQ -The NHL 2005 roster update FAQ -The Yu-Gi-Oh! Trials to Glory...(name's ttoo long) Card FAQ Yeah, so 3 hockey FAQs and one for a game based on a decidedly kiddy anime about little twerps and their magic cards isn't exactly an inspiring mix, but I think I get the job done. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Frequently Asked Questions [01c] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Q: Can you make a CAP of _____________? A: No, I can't. Seriously, I don't make the CAPs, that's LeatherFace61 does. And no, I won't pass on requests to him very often, simply because he has enough on his plate without bending to everyone's requests for some random borderline prospect who likely won't see the NHL this year. He has said that if you want to request a CAP, you can contact him directly if you want that certain player badly enough ***** Q: Do you have a Max Drive save or other roster file you can send me? A: No. If I had a Max Drive, I certainly wouldn't have wasted my time writing this guide. I wrote the guide for people like me who are in the same boat: no online capability, no Max Drive or anything similar. I have no way to send rosters out, and without sounding stuffy, even if I did, I spent an incredible amount of time writing this guide. If you want to update your rosters, use the guide. It shouldn't take half the time to do your updates as it did for me to write them. ***** Q: You missed _______________ A: That's not a question. Kidding aside though, I'm by no means perfect. I've likely missed a lot of lower end transactions (especially at the beginning of the season with all the training camp tryouts and non-contract dealings). If you think you've spotted something missing, let me know, and I'll check up on it. It's not that I don't trust your sources, it's just that I've made mistakes myself, so it's better to have confirmation from multiple sources. ***** Q: When is the next update coming, it's been _________ days. A: I update whenever possible. If that means I can get 3 updates done in 3 days then so be it. If I get side tracked and can't update for a few days, then so be that. I don't have unlimited time to dedicate to this game and its guide, so I will have times when I can't update for a few days. At worst, I'll try to get at least 1 update each week, so long as there are moves to report. ***** Q: What does ____________ mean? A: Almost 95% of the notation I use is explained somewhere in the guide. Things like OOR (with a country listed) are definately there, and I touch on several things like minor league deals and tryouts. If it's not there, much of it should be very self-explanatory. I'll admit that I briefly used "PTO" which stands for Professional Try-Out, and didn't explain it, but if you know anything about hockey or any sports in general, the concept of a "try-out" shouldn't be that difficult to figure out. PTO isn't a concern anymore, as I removed it from the guide, as well as any mentions of try-outs of any kind. ******* Q: What does __________ in a CAP or a created team mean? A: I don't know. LeatherFace made most, if not all of the CAPs (I have received a handful of CAPs from other people, but I haven't necessarily used them at the point at which I write this particular question.) The created teams are done by submission and by me. I make sure to point out the teams that I make myself, and for those teams I will be as helpful as possible. I am not responsible for the formatting and use of acronyms and abbreviations. ******** Q: How do I move _________, I get told the team can't have less than X skaters or goalies. A: 1) in the case of some moves (specifically within the NHL) you will have to make two "passes" of the guide. Making as many moves as possible in the first run, then coming back and doing the remaining handful of moves on a second run through. The Capitals suffer from this because there are so many people that need to be cut before you can start adding players, and if you go in alphabetical order, you won't get to Washington until last. 2) You may have to make the CAPs before you make some moves. For example, you need Peter Budaj on the Avalanche before you can move Phil Sauve to Calgary, and you need Sauve to be on the Flames before you can retire Roman Turek. Therefore making Budaj is necessary early in this case. 3) If you can't move people from the elite league teams, DUPLICATE them. You do this by doing the following: 1) Create a team (if you already have a created team that you don't mind emptying a portion of the roster to make room for other players, you can use that. You don't NEED a brand new team for this.) 2) Add the players you want to duplicate to the team from WITHIN the create team menu (ie using the last screen of the create team menu) 3) Once you've added the players to the created team, exit the create team screens and go to Roster Management. 4) If you press L1, you'll change the league from NHL to Created Teams. Find the team you used in step 2. 5) Trade players from the created team over to their respective NHL clubs (ie Lundqvist to the Rangers) There you go. You've added Lundqvist to the Rangers without removing him from Frolunda and disrupting their goalie situation. ********************* Q: What's the deal with OOR guys and their rights still being owned by a team? A: Without launching into a big discussion about Free Agency status, the short answer I can give you is that some players have left to play in Europe, but their contract status means that they are not free agents in terms of NHL teams. The most common way this occurs is because of Restricted Free Agency. As a Restricted Free Agent (or RFA), a player is not required to PLAY for their NHL club. However, they are not free to sign with another NHL club unless the first team allows it. For example, Milan Kraft of Pittsburgh is a RFA. Although he isn't able to play on the Penguins because he doesn't have a deal in place with them, the fact that he is a RFA means that he can't just sign with, say, Dallas. If he tried, Pittsburgh has the right to match the contract he agrees to with Dallas and keep Kraft for themselves. However, Kraft can freely sign with a team outside of the NHL if he wishes, and he has done just that. So even though he is OOR because he is playing in Europe, he is still considered the property of the Pittsburgh Penguins until he is old enough for the RFA status to expire, or until Pittsburgh either decides to trade his rights elsewhere. Of course, it's a whole lot more complicated than that, but all you need to know is that if I say a guy still has his rights owned by a NHL team, then you have the choice of either keeping him on that NHL team, or moving him to wherever you stash your OOR players. If an OOR player does not say that his rights are still held by another team then he is, for the purposes of the NHL, a free agent. For those guys, either make them free agents, or put them with wherever your OOR guys are. ********** Q: When will the next update be? A: I don't know. I have a life to live, and as I write this question (early November 05) it's rather full. College especially monopolizes my time sometimes and that means that I might not have updates regularly. My hope is to update about once a week, provided I have enough content to add to make it worthwhile. However, please do not e-mail me asking when the next update is coming, because it won't make it come any faster. Yes, I know I repeated this question from earlier, but it could use a little emphasis. ********** Q: Can I host your guide on my site? A: No. No you cannot. I am only permitting this guide to be hosted on GameFAQs, LeatherFace61's site (the URL i in here somewhere) and maybe Operation Sports if I feel like posting it there. If you are a representative of any other site like NeoSeeker, CheatCodeCentral, or anything like that. DO NOT contact me. I will respond to you in a hostile fashion. The last time I let one of my guides get out there, I ended up with an inbox full of spam, and then I couldn't get a hold of the webmaster for him to remove it. Never again am I going to let that happen. Oh, and of course, since this appears on GameFAQs, it also appears on GameSpot via their association (although the GameSpot listing is simply a linke to the GameFAQs address) ********** Q: Will you be adding new features to the guide? A: Don't know. I would've originally said no, but since then I've added captaincy lists, jersey numbers, and forthcoming line combos. I've been looking at putting in a list of my favorite underappreciated players, or breaking down each team's strenghs, weaknesses, and some basic dynasty info, but if and when I get around to that is up in the air. Also, you may see some changes to the Player Edits section. Biller88 from the GameFAQs forums is planning on making a Player Edit FAQ, and I might just give him my changes and remove that section from this guide (though I would contribute any further edits I do to his guide). Stay tuned for more info. =============================================================================== Section 2: How this guide works [02hgw] =============================================================================== Ok, so you want to know how the guide works? Well, if you read my NHL 2005 roster FAQ, you can probably skip this, because it'll be much the same. If you didn't read that guide, or want a refresher, here are the most important things: In each of sections 3 through 5, teams will be sorted in the same manner that the game sorts them in, which is pretty much some form of alphabetical list. Under each team, you will find two lists: "Subtractions" and "Additions". These are exactly what they sound like. The subtractions list is every player on the default game roster that shouldn't be on that particular team. The additions list is every player that is somewhere else in the game's default roster and needs to be moved to the proper team. Each player will be listed by their full name, and the team that they go to/from will be in brackets after the name (note that I will keep track of free agents as I would a regular team). For example, you might see for the Edmonton Oilers: Subtractions ------------ Wayne Gretzky (Los Angeles) Marty McSorley (Los Angeles) Mike Krushelnyski (Los Angeles) Additions --------- Jimmy Carson (Los Angeles) Martin Gelinas (Los Angeles) This is, of course, the famous trade of Wayne Gretzky from the Oilers. This listing under the Oilers means that you take Gretzky, McSorley, and Krushelyski off of Edmonton to Los Angeles, and that you'll add Carson and Gelinas from Los Angeles to Edmonton. This listing does mean that each player should, in theory, apppear twice. Once as the subtraction from their old team, and once as the addition to their new team (For the above entry, you would also see the reverse listing under Los Angeles, with Gretzky and co as additions from Edmonton, and Carson and Gelinas as subtractions to Edmonton). The only exceptions are with players released to free agency, players who retired, and players who went to leagues outside of what is in the game. They are only listed once, under the Subtractions list for their default team. There are simply so many guys who fall into this category that it would take forever to make additions lists for each of them, and it would also probably make the guide more cumbersome. THE EASIEST WAY TO DO THIS IS TO MAKE MOVES ONLY FROM THE SUBTRACTIONS LIST. If you do this, each player will be moved. You can then use the additions list as a way of checking to make sure you got the right players on the team. It is worth noting that a player who makes multiple moves (ie Gretzky going from Edmonton, to Los Angeles, to St. Louis, and finally to the Rangers) will make the immediate jump from their default team to the current team. So you the subtractions list for Edmonton would not read "Wayne Gretzky (Los Angeles)", but rather "Wayne Gretzky (NY Rangers)" to make the moves as efficient as possible. Of course, this would create problems for someone returning to the guide to make additional changes after using it once before. For them, Gretzky would've gone to the Kings, and now the update says he goes from the Oilers to the Rangers. To solve this headache and prevent people from having to compare old releases to new ones, at the top of each roster update section, I will list changes that occur from one version to the next. So if version 1 has Gretzky moving from Edmonton to Los Angeles, and version 2 shifts him from Los Angeles to St. Louis, you would see: ****************** VERSION 2 CHANGES ****************** -WAYNE GRETZKY moves from Los Angeles to SSt. Louis . . . *************** Edmonton Oilers *************** Subtractions ------------- Wayne Grezky (St. Louis) Do you see how this works? The master list of additions and subtractions always assumes you start from scratch. The Version Changes list at the top of each section allows you to make the handful of changes from the last release of the guide without having to sift through a master list. It's probably a little bit confusing, so here is the rule of thumb: 1) If this is your FIRST time using the guide to update your rosters, use the master list. 2) If you have already used this guide to update your rosters, use the "version changes" pieces at the top of each section to make any changes that have occured after the guide version you used originally. You can't necessarily check the exact version you used, but at the top of the guide I list each version of the guide with its completion date. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A special note on moves across leagues vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Occasionally, a player may move across the leagues. This happens when someone goes from the NHL to an Elite Leauge, or vice versa. In this case, you will see their name under the appropriate team, but the destination/origin team in brackets will have the league, followed by the team name. So if we were saying that former Lightning player Alexander Selivanov went from Tampa Bay to Krefeld in the German league (DEL), the entry would be: Subtractions ------------ Alexander Selivanov (DEL - Krefeld) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A special note on Created Players vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Since there will be players who aren't in the game by default, you will see them under the "additions" list with "CAP" in brackets after their name. In such cases, please consult section 7: Missing Player CAPs (code is "07CAP" with square brackets). An example of this would be: ******************* Pittsburgh Penguins ******************* Subtractions ------------ . . . Additions --------- Sidney Crosby (CAP) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ One last note: retirements & moves to leagues not in the game vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv The retirement of Scott Stevens has reminded me of the possibility that some players could conceivably retire before, during, and after the season. If that is the case, you will see (RETIRED) in brackets after the player's name. What I suggest you do for retired players is tuck them somewhere out of the way (the best way is to have a created team on hand that has only minimal players (20), so that you can trade retired guys to that team.) I suggest you give similar treatment to guys who have signed in Elite Leagues not in the game (like Switzerland, Russia, the Czech Republic, etc). They will appear in subtractions lists with (OOR - ________) after their name. "OOR" means "Off Of Rosters" (they have a [usually] binding contract in another league) and the blank will have the league name (just for the sake of reference.) IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU SHOULD SIGN THESE PLAYERS TO AN INTERNATIONAL TEAM. THE COUNTRY LISTED IS SIMPLY THE COUNTRY OF THE LEAGUE THAT PLAYER IS IN NOW. Some players are playing in Europe with the blessing of the NHL team that holds their rights. In that event, there will be a note after their subtraction that says "rights retained by __________". For these players they should be OOR so that you do not have them appearing on lines when you play exhibition games or the basic season mode. However, if you are doing a dynasty, you might want to put them back on their NHL teams so that they can be traded properly, or you can allow a return to their club. It's not that hard once you see the whole thing in action. =============================================================================== Section 3: NHL Roster changes [03NHL] =============================================================================== $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $ IMPORTANT: The EA Guys $ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I thought we'd seen the first and last of this with the free agents in NHL 2005 but I guess not. Sadly the NHL 06 free agent list features a horde of fake players who are actually the game's development team, and friends of them. For your sanity, I have listed the names of everyone you must "dispose of", and you can find a nifty way to get rid of them without messing up any other regular in-game rosters (no, not even the international ones) NOTE: the are all recognizable by the fact that they are on the NHL Free Agent list despite having 0 games of NHL experience, which would violate the PA's licensing agreement. Thanks to Jeff N for reminding me that I forgot to include the method to get rid of the players. Here's what you want to do. 1) Create a team. The jerseys, arena, name, etc don't matter. Put exactly 20 players on it, broken down by 2 goalies, and 18 skaters. Stock the team with either NHLers that you'll recognize (use an all-star team), or with prospects from the Elite Leagues (according to the prospect pool later in this guide) 2) Press Start to finish making the team. Now head to Roster Management. 3) Put one RM list to the Free Agent pool (L1 on Anaheim), and the other to your newly created team (press L2, then find the team, listed alphabetically by nickname) 4) Trade the EA players listed below from the free agent list to the created team. Make sure that you trade 2 goalies and 18 skaters (it makes for less work later on.) You'll know you have to stop when you are told you have hit the maximum number of players (40) Now, if you put NHLers on the team, follow step 5a. If you used prospects, follow step 5b. 5a) Return to the Create Team menu, and select the team you made in step 1. Go forward to the roster screen, and remove the NHLers from the team using the square button (PS2. For other platforms it should tell you what button removes players at the bottom of the screen). DO NOT remove the EA players, or they'll just go right back to the Free Agents list 5b) If you used prospects, simply trade them to the teams they are supposed to be going to (I advise using this method over straight trading out of the elite league, because it allows you to duplicate the players without removing them from their original teams) 6) Once you're down to just the 20 EA guys on the team, return to Roster Management, and continue signing EA players to the team. Another 20 and you'll be full. 7) Repeat steps 1 through 6 until you've removed all the EA players from the Free Agents list. You'll need about 4 teams. 3 of them will be filled with 40 players, and the last will take the remaining 13. This last team will have to keep some of the players you added via Create Team (from step 1) to bring it up to the minimum. -------------- The EA "sucks" -------------- Allen Antonio Jason Armenise Jim Armstrong Duane Bieber Hendrik Blok Brian Boog Richard Bouvier John Brett Scott Bristow Warren Buss James Capadouca Carlton Chan Dennis Chan Kent Cheng John Cheu Adrian Chong Tony Chu Brian Coleman James Coles-Nash Ty Currie Sean Daschko Fabio Del Rio Paolo Del Rio Michael Dempsey Greg Dick James Ding Stephen Frank Jonathan Fung Mere Gaffney Cris Gecolea Bing Gordon Mark Haines Phil Harris Rob Hawkey Steve Hinan Brent Hopkin Kelvin Hoyle David Hughes Jim Hughson Christopher Huie Andrew Hyslop Brian Jennings Jeff Karp Saki Kaskamanidis Ken Kim Sam Kirvan Rick Kocurek Matt Langen Eric LeBlanc Joey Lee Hurbert Leung Chris Lippmann David Littman Aaron Long David Ma Nick Maas Chris Macera Morgan Madu Evan Mah Dan Mann Clint Mar Ian Maynard Shawn Mayzes Dave McCarthy Roy McCombe Neil McConnell Kerry McGaffney Martin McQuaig Wojtek Mikulik Jamie Milbrandt Chris Mogg Reed Montgomery Rory Montgomery Ryan Montgomery Paul Morassutti Michael-Sean Morgan Hiroaki Muto Justin Olivares Shawn Paithouski Jeremy Papp Jason Peerless Anthony Perrella Kevin Pinchbeck Blair Pioveson Dan Placzek Jim Preston Alan Price Zachary Priest Darren Ranger Bryan Rennie Michael Riegger Chris Rink Tomislav Sakic Bunka Sandhu Ken Sayler Jason Schuss John Shepherd Dave Sinclair Boris Skuin Richard Smit Chris Smith Devin Smithstrom Stefaan Sorensen Emmanuel Soupidis Craig Stewart Kevin Syyong Matt Thazhmon Michael Thompson Brent Thrurston Eric Tong Philip Tse Brad Turner Shawn Tyerman Michael Underell Michael Upton Stephen Urysz Sami Valkama Eric Versteeg Da Hu Wang Raymond Wang Jonny Weatherdon Rob White Ben Whitney Scott Wilshire Jason Wong Vince Yap Som Yau Stephen Yau Davidson Yeap Robert Yeung Edwin Yiu Matthew York Jessie Zhao *************** VERSION UPDATES *************** *NOTE: I won't be including new CAPs assigned to teams in the updates section whenever I mention new CAPs in the opening section of the guide, simply check the CAP list for the ones you don't have. ******************* VERSION 2.3 CHANGES ******************* -I mistakenly reported the Kolanos trade iin the last update. the actual deal is that Phoenix traded KRYS KOLANOS to the CAROLINA HURRICANES for PAVEL BRENDL. -St. Louis claimed VLADIMIR ORSZAGH off off waivers.

Those teams are divided up into two pools, and teams are seeded from 1 through 12. Seeding appears in brackets after the country name Pool A: Canada (1), Czech Republic (4), Finland (5), Germany (8), Switzerland (9), Italy (12) Pool B: Sweden (2), Slovakia (3), USA (6), Russia (7), Latvia (10), Kazakhstan (11) All 12 of those nations are present in NHL 06. However, it is likely that Latvia, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, and Italy will have very few of its players in the game, if any at all. Since I'm not a CAP genius, and there is a very good chance that I'll have never seen any of those missing players play at all, I cannot provide you with CAPs for the missing players. Additionally, since LeatherFace is now charging for requested CAPs, I don't know if he will be doing any of them without asking for payment. In that case, although I will post the roster when I find it, I might suggest that you fill in the real players that you can, and leave the rest of the roster as the fake players that are on those teams by default. At least that way the names sound good. When you want to move players over, use the duplication trick I mentioned earlier in this guide. Here's a quick refresher: 1) Get a created team (you might want to make a new one, since you'll want a place to hold any players you need to remove from the international squads) 2) Using the create team's roster selection menu (the last step in making a team), add the players you intend to duplicate (the guys who are on the olympic roster). 3) when you have finished that,exit the create team mode and go to roster management. 4) Trade the actual olympians from your created team to the international squad of choice, while also trading back non-olympians from the international team to the created one. If you come to a point where you don't have enough non-olympians on the international team to trade over and make the created team's roster minimum of 18 skaters and 2 goalies, return to the create team mode, and edit that team to add a couple of more players from anywhere. This way you don't have to trade people from somewhere else and risk screwing up another roster. That's it. Now, below is a mini table of contents. It will have each of the 12 teams and a search code to skip to that team. I will not which teams have been completed and which haven't. All teams will be separated by position (goalie, defenceman, forward), and each player will be listed with their origin team (and league, if outside the NHL) in brackets. Player's whose names appear in all CAPS are not in the game and would need to be made if you want them. I will still list their team of origin, just for completeness sake. For each team's roster, I will first present you with a list of subtractions and additions (just like the NHL changes section), then I will follow that with the complete Torino roster as it should look when you're done. All team names I give are accurate according to updated in-game rosters. This means that some elite league players will be listed on a different team than the real world olympic list (for example, the real olympic list has Mika Hannula from Sweden on HV-71, but in the game he's on Malmo since the elite league rosters are from last year.)

Since most of the roster isn't available, I'll just list the roster by itself. Players who aren't CAPs (the ones whose names aren't written in capital letters) are all already on the team. The only CAP that we have already made for the game is Mark Streit of Montreal, so add him. The rest of it you'll either have to come up with on your own, or make due with the existing roster. Maybe if I get time later I'll go through this roster in more detail and sort out who on the in-game swiss roster is a real player and who isn't. Until then, this is the best I can do.

For this team, you have no ready-made CAPs, and all the Latvian players who are in the game and on the real roster are already on the game's Latvian team. Once again, I might look through and pick out the real Latvians eventually. Until then, this should do. Besides, how many of us can profess to know a lot about the Latvian national team anyway? I know I can't, and not by choice either.

Since almost all of the in-game Kazak roster is fake, I'm not going to bother with a list of additions and subtractions, since it would be pointless to list practically every player present on the subtractions list, followed by an entirely fresh roster of CAPs right after it. So I'll just list the real Kazak roster. You can find a Vitaliy Kolesnik CAP somewhere though.

It has some players from the most recent NHL draft, and a few other notable players from previous drafts. This is very much a work in progress, so if you think you know of a prospect that is missing, please e-mail me. You will find repeats in this section of players that are listed in the NHL Roster Changes section (such as Yan Stastny or Henrik Lundqvist). NOTE: Much of this list is taken from the prospect lists at hockeysfuture.com, and as such it is not my opinion on the chances of any of these players to actually make their NHL clubs. Many are extremely low on the prospect chain, and are longshots or no-shots to come over to North America, and some have even stated that they do not intend to even try to make their NHL organization (as is the supposed case with Jesse Niinimaki) they are only on this list as a matter of completeness. Format: [position] (NHL Club) - (Elite League - Team) *Probability* Ratings may need editing if you plan on moving some prospects to the NHL. NEW IN VERSION 1.8: The "probability key"! This is my very unscientific, and completely biased opinion on the chances that each prospect has of making it to the NHL in some capacity. This is designed to help you judge which players to move to their NHL clubs, and who is on this list purely for completion purposes. Of course, I'm not a prospect guru, nor do I have a ton of info about prospects for every single organization. I get a lot of this by reading the reports on Hockey's Future, as well as some questioning of prospect experts for their respective teams. Here is the key you need to know: *NHL/AHL* = Player is already on an NHL or AHL roster. They should be moved over immediately. Most of these players will also be listed in NHL roster changes section. Examples include Robert Nilsson and Petteri Nokelainen (already on the Islanders roster) or Staffan Kronwall (playing for the Maple Leafs AHL affiliate) *Lock* = Player WILL come over at some point or another in the future. They are not listed in the NHL roster changes section because they're techincally not over here yet, but I would suggest you move them over for accuracy in long-term dynasty play. Examples include Tuukka Rask (He will be the Maple Leafs goalie of the future) or Anze Kopitar (went to Kings training camp but returned to Sodertalje) *High* = It is highly likely that this player will crack an NHL line-up in the course of their career. Of course, these are also players who may decide to stay in their native countries, or who have a realistic chance of not coming over for a variety of other reasons (prospect pool depth of the NHL club, unpredticable play, etc). The best example I can think of is Magnus Kahnberg of Carolina, who has the tools to come and play, but might prefer to stay in Sweden. *Medium* = It is entirely possible the player never sees the light of day in North America, but they could still take an NHL/AHL job if they wanted to badly enough. *Low* = Don't hold your breath to see these guys in an NHL or AHL jersey in the future. These guys either lack much of the skill sets necessary for the North American game, or are extremely comfortable staying at home. *Longshot* = Will probably only make it over if the planets align during a solar eclipse on the day of a blue moon. They either have none of the requisite skills for NHL or AHL hockey, or their career goal might have been to play in the national league all along. NOTE: these preliminary ratings are based mostly on the Hockey's Future reports because I don't want to wait to get responses on every one of them from other people before I get the guide ready to go. If you have an opinion to add about some of these prospects, feel free to contact me and do so. NOTE 2: Please remember that these ratings are purely indicative of how likely a player is to come over to the NHL or AHL during their careers. It IS NOT a list of potential. Please, DO NOT e-mail me saying that so-and-so is a high end prospect and got the same rating as so-and-so2 who is a lesser prospect. Jesse Niinimaki might have more talent than, say Andreas Jamtin, but my grade of *medium* means that there is a moderate chance that either one of them comes to play in the NHL or AHL at some point (Niinimaki would probably be a *High* grade, if not for the fallout he has had with the Oilers organization.) ***************** Ville Mantymaa [D] (Anaheim) -

It's a weird collection, as it seems that only Elitserien and SM-Liiga still have NHLers on their teams, and there are mostly only Swedish NHLers left in Elitserien, and Fins in SM-Liiga. The DEL doesn't appear to have any of it's NHL lockout players (not even Germans like Sturm) still present. NOTE: You DO NOT need to move these players to their NHL clubs. This list is simply meant to show you what players do not belong on the elite league rosters for this season. Do with them whatever you want if would prefer not to have them on the elite league teams when you play a season with one.

Each update, I hope to add at least one, hopefully more, teams to the section. You fill find regular strength line combos here, along with lists of certain players to keep an eye on for various reasons. All teams will have the following format: ~~~~~~~~~~ Lines: Lines will be listed as forward lines 1-4, defensive pairings 1-3, starting goalie, backup goalie, depth goalie (if applicable). All lines are listed as LW-C-RW according to play lineups (if I have a player who the game lists as a RW lined up at LW, then he's still to be put on the Left Wing.). Defensive pairings are Left Defenceman, Right Defenceman. *************** NOTE: Lineups are projections by observers of that team of how the lines would look under ideal conditions where there are no injuries to players and where there are no players in the minor leagues on conditioning stints. Some players may also be called up from the minors if their demotions are deemed to be anomolies (like Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry of the Ducks). Some teams (like the Islanders) don't always roll 4 lines, instead using 3 units. In those cases, someone (myself or an observer of that team) will extrapolate a 4th line for you to use. Also, in the absence of CAPS for certain players, I've had to tweak the lines slightly. So take these lineups with a grain of salt, because just about every team in the league is juggling most of their lines on a game-by-game basis, and I just put something together that provided a mixture of consistant lines (like the Sens' first line of Heatley-Spezza-Alfredsson) and probable possibilities. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO PRODUCE GAME-ACCURATE LINES ON A REGULAR BASIS, OTHERWISE I'D BE UPDATING EVERY SINGLE DAY. IF I'VE MISSED A REGULAR LINE, CONTACT ME PLEASE. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT CERTAIN PLAYERS 'SHOULD' BE TOGETHER, BUT AREN'T, I PROBABLY WON'T CHANGE IT. ALSO NOTE THAT CHEMISTRY IS IGNORED FOR THE PURPOSES OF THESE LINES. IF THAT RESULTS IN A LOW CHEMISTRY SETUP, YOU CAN MAKE THE CHANGES YOURSELF IF YOU WANT *************** ~~~~~~~~~~ Key Players: This section will be divided up to note several classes of key guys for your team. -Stars: Any player who has the star icon uunderneath them will be listed here. These players are usually rated 85 and over for NHL clubs. -Key prospects: Any players under the age of 25 with 80 or more potential are listed here. In Dynasty Mode, these guys are the lifeblood of your team. -Aging Veterans: Players older than 35 aree listed here. These guys are risks to retire in Dynasty Mode, so don't always bank on them being around for more than a couple of years. -Sleeper picks: These are guys who can be productive, but aren't in the other 3 categories. They aren't necessarily high rated, or stars, but they are good guys to know about when you're playing against a friend who isn't necessarily an obsessive hockey nut like I am. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Team Strengths: Here I'll look at the best aspects of the team, so you know what you can rely on when you use them. Team Weaknesses: Obviously here I'll point out faults in the team's makeup that you can correct with trades and signings in Dynasty Mode. NOTES: I will not be doing the following: -Supplying team overall ratings. Ratings wwill depend on your decisions for all lines on the team. Putting together different powerplay or PK units will change things, and there are just far too many variables for me to venture guesses at what the most likely rating would be. -Listing player styles (scorer, playmaker,, etc) or skill levels (1-3 stars). This can change almost randomly during Dynasty play, and when you edit guys. It would be confusing if I branded someone a playmaker, then you acquire them and find out they're a scorer instead. -Chemistry levels. See the point about plaayer styles. If those differ, so does chemistry. Also note that my lineups include CAPs.

Solid two-way center as well) D Ruslan Salei (Good 2nd pairing checking defenceman, he can be very useful. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TEAM ANALYSIS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ STRENGTHS: Anaheim has a very good goaltending tandem in J-S Giguere and Ilja Bryzgalov. The depth at center isn't half bad either, and Brent, Ryanm, Getzlaf, Lupul, and Perry give the Ducks a quintet of talented offensive forwards for the future. Ozolinsh and Scott Niedermayer are both very capable offensive defencemen, Giguere and Bryzgalov are set for yeras between the pipes WEAKNESSES: There's not a huge amount of firepower up and down this lineup. Guys like Marchant, Rob Niedermayer, Pahlsson, Wright, and McDonald are all solid players, but are not reliable and consistant offensive threats. The prospects you have are still raw and are not ready to carry the team yet. With Carney in his mid 30s, and Ozolinsh and Marshall fairly close, defensive depth is a concern, with only Rome on the horizon. ******************************************************************************* 06b) Atlanta Thrashers ******************************************************************************* ---------------- LINEUP ---------------- LW C RW Line 1 Ilya Kovalchuk - Slava Kozlov - Scott Mellanby Line 2 Peter Bondra - Marc Savard - Marian Hossa Line 3 Brad Larsen - Bobby Holik - J.P. Vigier Line 4 Serge Aubin - Patrik Stefan - Ronald Petrovicky Left D Right D Pairing 1 Niclas Havelid - Andy Sutton Pairing 2 Jaroslav Modry - Gred de Vries Pairing 3 Shane Hnidy - Garnet Exelby Starting Goalie Kari Lehtonen Backup Goalie Mike Dunham Depth Goalie Steve Shields ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ KEY PLAYERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stars ----- LW Ilya Kovalchuk RW Marian Hossa C Marc Savard LW Peter Bondra C Bobby Holik Key Prospects ------------- C Patrick Stefan (24 yrs old, 80 potential) LW Ilya Kovalchuk (22 yrs old, 87 potential) D BRAYDON COBURN (20 yrs old, 87 potential) G Kari Lehtonen (21 yrs old, 95 potential) Aging Veterans -------------- RW Scott Mellanby (39 yrs old, 80 overall) Sleeper Picks ------------- D Andy Sutton - Not exactly the fleetest of foot, but an effective shutdown guy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TEAM ANALYSIS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ STRENGTHS: Scoring goals shouldn't be a problem with the Thrashers. Kovalchuk, Hossa, Bondra, Savard, and Kozlov are all capable scorers, and the top two lines can probably outscore almost any in the league. Goaltending should also not be the problem it has in real life for Atlanta, as Lehtonen and Dunham are both solid stoppers, and especially Lehtonen can carry this team for years. Weaknesses: Defensively Atlanta is suspect. de Vries, Sutton, Havelid, and Modry are good, but they aren't a spectacular top 4, and it's not exactly smooth sailing from there. There also aren't exactly a lot of prospects coming down the pipeline outside of your key current contributors of Lehtonen, Hossa, and Kovalchuk. The bottom two lines aren't terrible, but the players on the wings aren't spectacular by any means. The defensive corps is particularly slow. ******************************************************************************* 06c) Boston Bruins ******************************************************************************* ---------------- LINEUP ---------------- LW C RW Line 1 Sergei Samsonov -

Kyle McLaren - San Jose's best defenceman, a good two-way guy with bone-crushing hitting ability Vesa Toskala - This backup goalie could start on most teams. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TEAM ANALYSIS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ STRENGTHS: Wow, I'm certainly writing this differently now that the big trade went through. The Sharks have the capablity to put out a pair of big, strong scoring lines anchored by Thornton and Marleau. These two centers can carry this team on their backs up front. On defence the squad isn't as solid now that the former big 4 (McLaren, Hannan, Stuart, Rathje) has been reduced to a big 2 (only Hannan and McLaren remain), but there's still a nice balance of offence and defence on the back end. Goaltending is perhaps the strongest point for the Sharks. Nabokov's virtual counterpart is not nearly as inconsistant as he has been in real life. Toskala can also start on a lot of teams, and Schaefer is a highly effective backup even though he won't be likely to see extended time at the starters' position. WEAKNESSES: As I said, the defensive corps won't strike fear into anyone like it used to. The checking lines are still solid, but the shuffling out of Sturm and Primeau has really stretched the lines thin and accentuated the absence of Alex Korolyuk. ******************************************************************************* 06aa) Tampa Bay Lightning ******************************************************************************* ---------------- LINEUP ---------------- LW C RW Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Line 4 Left D Right D Pairing 1 Pairing 2 Pairing 3 Starting Goalie Backup Goalie Depth Goalie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ KEY PLAYERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stars ----- Key Prospects ------------- Aging Veterans -------------- Sleeper Picks ------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TEAM ANALYSIS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ******************************************************************************* 06bb) Toronto Maple Leafs ******************************************************************************* ---------------- LINEUP ---------------- LW C RW Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Line 4 Left D Right D Pairing 1 Pairing 2 Pairing 3 Starting Goalie Backup Goalie Depth Goalie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ KEY PLAYERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stars ----- Key Prospects ------------- Aging Veterans -------------- Sleeper Picks ------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TEAM ANALYSIS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ******************************************************************************* 06cc) Vancouver Canucks ******************************************************************************* ---------------- LINEUP ---------------- LW C RW Line 1 Markus Naslund - Brendan Morrison - Todd Bertuzzi Line 2 Daniel Sedin - Henrik Sedin - Anson Carter Line 3 Matt Cooke - Ryan Kesler - Richard Park Line 4 Jarkko Ruutu - Trevor Linden - Lee Goren Left D Right D Pairing 1 Ed Jovanovski - Bryan Allen Pairing 2 Nolan Baumgartner - Mattias Ohlund Pairing 3 Sami Salo - Steve McCarthy Starting Goalie Dan Cloutier Backup Goalie Alex Auld Depth Goalie Wade Flaherty ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ KEY PLAYERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stars ----- Key Prospects ------------- Aging Veterans -------------- Sleeper Picks ------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TEAM ANALYSIS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ******************************************************************************* 06dd) Washington Capitals ******************************************************************************* ---------------- LINEUP ---------------- LW C RW Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Line 4 Left D Right D Pairing 1 Pairing 2 Pairing 3 Starting Goalie Backup Goalie Depth Goalie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ KEY PLAYERS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stars ----- Key Prospects ------------- Aging Veterans -------------- Sleeper Picks ------------- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TEAM ANALYSIS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ =============================================================================== 7) Missing Player CAPs [07CAP] =============================================================================== All CAPs are courtesy LeatherFace61 unless otherwise noted.

I will not take random teams of talented players, or your dynasty mode team. I am also extremely interested in hearing from you if you have edited any players you believe have unrealistic stats. It would be a monsterous task for me to try and go through the entire league and edit everyone, so I could use all the help I can get. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Closing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I want to thank LeatherFace61 for his spectacaular work on making the players who are missing from the game. Without it, there would be many questions as to where is Sidney Crosby. More thanks coming as people contribute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Legal Blurb ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This guide is copyright 2005 to Matt "TheNemesis15" Vignal.
