"They've got no money. You've got a bottom 6 that doesn't give you much inspiration. You're looking at Jake Virtanen in your top-6. That's a big ask. Are you sure Myers is able to play in your top 4? And you'd be hard-pressed to think the goaltending is as good"

Bergeron has had more post season success than Ovechkin. been closer to winning multiple cups. I'd honestly take Bergeron over Ovechkin.
- Retinalz

One of the two is going to the hall of fame on the first ballot.

One of the two is arguably the best goal scorer of all time.
One of the two is not the best 2 way forward of all time(Datsyuk).

I go with the best, not the third or fourth best all time.

Don't believe him, Holtby is rated 88 in nhl21.

The fact that this is a legitimate question and that he was signed to a 6m deal only last year is just awful.

Doesn't matter anymore, the hand is dealt. Challenge as it stands today is how to fix some of these poor signings.

JB should be trying to trade Myers ASAP but we all know he isn't.

Bergeron has 4 Selke and Datsyuk has 3. Bergeron is in a twy-way tie for most Selke Trophies by a single player. I would say he is in the conversation for the best two-way forward of all time. Datsyuk was a bit more offensively gifted, difference being .963 vs .798 ppg, but the higher ppg does not give Datsyuk an edge in better two way player than the extra Selke gives Bergeron. Bob Gainey is the other 4 time winner and he produced a career .432 ppg.

Myers is a top 4 dman. Sure he is a #4 guy and should be making closer to 5.5, but he is a legit top 4 guy.

Wish they had Podz and Tree, the prospects suck without him.
Like when Hughes wasn't included... they need to add the KHL, I'm sure they'd sell more games in Russia then as well

- NorthNuck

We have nothing in the system as good as Myers right now, and if you look to upgrade him you are adding assets and additional cap.

Benning's paying the price right now for his poor decisions.

Sorry, 11 times out of 10, I am taking peak Datsyuk over peak Bergeron.
Datsyuk plugs his ears with how many cup rings?

Disagree, Myers is exactly what the top 4 needs. So, well none of us knows what Benning is and isn’t doing, glad he still has Myers.

- Pres.cup

They really need to fix their deal to allow KHL players. I've said for a long time they need to add these players from KHL and College, but make them undrafted and have different names with no picture. This way they are "in the game" and no copy right laws are infringed upon. Either that or have something like IGN post something on their behalf with attribute stats, that way we can just create them ourselves. They also need to fix the expansion team in franchise mode. Team essentially have two drafts in one year, they should make it so that you can choose which season they expand in to.

I also found that I can't scout goalies in this game. The only way I can is on auto scout, but then the scounts only seem to scout the kids ranked 700+

- Pres.cup

Two cup rings, one he was a passenger on an elite Detroit team, and one he was the Driver on an elite Detroit team. He also only made the cup finals twice. Bergeron was a driver for their 2011 cup and has been to the cup finals three times, and could still do it again in his career, plus win more Selke Trophies. Sorry, but Bergeron and Datsyuk are probably the top 2 Two Way players of all time, some people will prefer 4 trophies to 3 and some will prefer the higher ppg average.

NCAA being added will make a big difference. It's not too hard to just create the Russian prospects yourself.

NCAA changing the way they operate regarding athletes being able to monetize their likenesses means college players will be in the game next year I believe.

The scouting system for franchise is broken right now. They released a patch for some online stuff yesterday but it still hasn't been fixed.

Same, no goalies except auto scout ones in the 700s.
The team leader from ea Vancouver used to be a neighbor of mine.

He only played Fifa, but three years ago I complained about franchise mode and how it took forever to simulate, with pop-ups every week or two for scouts and slow load times.
The next season you could sim the whole season without pop-ups and it was way quicker. I like to think that was my idea, I wish he hadn't sold his home so I could throw the unnamed player idea at him maybe I'll shoot him an email.

Would you prefer two presidents trophies or one Stanley Cup?

Datsyuk has two rings, he's the man.
Bergeron has one, he's part of a shiny biatch team and can suck my left one.

My neighbor is a junior producer for Fifa. I dislike her a lot, but I have mentioned a few things. I mentioned to her the issue with TDL and the "best line" always threw two defensemen in to pp1. Both got fixed at some point. Maybe it was pre planned, maybe she sent an email, who knows.

True, but creating high franchise players under 8 year, 1m dollar contract doesn't seem fair.....
