John make sure you sort players by potential in free agency to see if any elite players are there. sometimes they don't work out but they are great trade bait. Like so Johnny sees
Ethan Gibson how is it cheating the system? If there is an undrafted elite player out there that any team can sign it’s not cheating the system and it’s another prospect, who knows they might work out.
Lol That Barrie trade worked out! You traded a 9th Overall pick, turned out to be Med Top 6, for Barrie... Traded Barrie for a Second, that second turned out to be a Med ELITE Potter
mark my words; rocky roenick (jeremy roenick's 2nd cousin's nephew once removed) will win the vezina before his career is done. his name is just too good not to.
I like how in this game if they do well their overalls go up to match their play, I had a 35 year old greiss and he had a .935 save percentage and he jumped from a 83 to a 88. Just like how darling jumped up as an older player
I had Petr Mrazek as my goalie and he was an 84. He won the same awards as Darling and he jumped up to an 89. Darling might of had a bad overall during the playoffs, but because he won those awards and the Stanley Cup he got boosted to an 89.
Dear GM Superbman, Please consider an idea that I have that I believe will help. I disagree with your future plan to use Roenick as trade bate. He is only 17 years of age, and even though you said that he is only a 51 overall, that is actually very good. By the time he is 18 years old, he should be at least a 60 overall, if you play him correctly. I even have an example for you. I drafted a 17 year old, 50 overall goalie named Marian Zhitnik. I played him as the starter in the AHL for the time he was there (that means I found a backup for the AHL lower than 50 overall so auto rotate goalie wouldn't mess it up). By the time he was a 78, I used him as a backup goalie. After that season, he grew to an 84 overall starting goalie. I used him as the starter, and after that season, he grew to an 89 overall ELITE goalie. That is what I mean by "playing him correctly." Now if you want to turn Roenick into a franchise goalie at the age of 23-24, play him like I played Zhitnik
Cole Porter they are getting rid of a young player who will want a lot of money and be locked up with them like 4+ years it would make more sense for them to take on a 2year 7mil more experienced player for their playoff run
Cole Porter just use a bit of an imagination, maybe he wasn't jelling in the dressing room, showing up late to the skates, etc. Stuff that doesn't show up in the game but are real life team issues. Logan Brown was better than him, and maybe they wanted a veteran presence on the team since the youngins came up
The same thing happened to me in the first two seasons of my Carolina Hurricanes franchise mode Scott Darling was a 83 and then in the 3rd season he went up to a 89
We now have the happy man Jett woo, the reader Victor Read, the bumpy man Rocky Roenick, we have selvestor from Lunney tunes Will ( I forget his first name but I think it’s Will) selvestor and we have the son of Harry Potter in Coleton Potter OMG the memes are real in Vegas
I like the idea to sign a goalie and packaging him with a defender to get a stud goalie. But I would keep grubby as you backup. Like if you're going to sign a tender, might as well sign Connor hellebuyck and increase that trade value even more
Hey Johnny. Long time fan of your GM modes. Would be awesome for you to do a livestream and check out franchise hockey manager. A crazy in depth GM mode. Would be so entertaining to watch your discovery in this and see what you think.
Got this for 30 bucks on PSN black friday sale. Loving the game so far, the first NHL game I’ve played since 15. Taken a few years off from it because it got stale, so it actually feels fresh now.
Johnny, maybe a goalie to look for would be tukka rask? He is about the age where when Rocky is ready tukka will be on his way down. You have the value to trade away, and that elite goalie will be a huge boost. You just need to figure out who you want to give up. But let's say Rocky is ready in 4-5 years, tukka in the game will be what 37-38? About ready to fit as a great backup? You would have the 1a 1b combo if any injuries. Just have to make the trade realistic. What does everyone think?
i was running a Colorado gm mode and varlamov went from an 83 to an 88 the third year, I had to sign him that offseason, so I did, then he dropped to an 82 the following year.....
I noticed while you were in the draft it said the flyers were shopping around clint locke, he was the elite grinder you missed out on. Maybe he would be someone to trade for
For the rookie scoring, it didn't show the top guys because they're not rookies anymore come the offseason so they won't show. That's why none of those rookies had over 25 games. The rookies you saw are the players that are still rookies and Calder eligible next year
I knew before you got to loche he would be good because you had him scouted 11 times and was still projected as medium top 9 and when that happens they always turn out good.
Yeah, I've found the sim can be so random (like life, I guess?). You could keep the same lineup and go 14-3-1 over the same period. But yeah, that was a great draft. You have to sign those elite players (esp. the goalie) and get them in the AHL lineup, otherwise they'll develop slowly (or not at all). Also, you should quickly show more of the other teams' picks in the later rounds, as there are some gems in there (I got a franchise goalie in the 7TH ROUND, in 2023 I believe).
i would consider going for Korpisalo from columbus since they have Bobrovsky. That sometimes doesnt work though so you could also try fro Evan Fitzpatrick he always turns out well in every gm mode i do.
Ive noticed that low elite low ovr players out of the draft have turned out better than the med elite low ovr players out of the draft despite the huge difference in trade value. Anyone else?
That's been an issue since last year. The created or generated players, sometimes aren't considered rookies. May be a deeper reason than that, a glitch or loop in the system.
Hey Johnny great vid! My opinion about free agency is to sign Pietrangelo as he will be the elite defensemen that you need, and I would also sign Connor Helibuyk as I’ve signed him before and he can grow to a 87. Lastly, I would trade Potter for Locke because he’s on the Flyers trade block and I would trade Vatanen for either a elite sniper or 2 way forward to play along with Collin White.
Try to draft an unknown player in the draft with a draft pick in the later rounds, and that is because I suspect that hidden studs are probably found there
The Reason it wasnt showing rookies is becuase sometime after the cup winner is announced, it doesnt show rookies as rookies anymore. If you checked during the playoffs it wouldve shown Rankin and all the other rookies. If you look those are all players who will still be considered rookies next season! Like so johnny sees
Simulating past the playoffs will not show the rookies, only the ones who will also be rookies next season. Make sure you check at the end of the regular season or during the playoffs.
Johnny, I Need u to trade for me or else forget about ur chances of making the playoffs or at least get someone better than me cause u need a stellar goalie like me to even get close to the second round you hear me,I care about you
Let Me Just Tell You, Your Collapse Was Not The Worst One In Sports. The Utes Blew A 7 Pt Lead With 2:00 To Go With Dumbass Whittingham And His Timeout.
In the draft the Grinder Locke is on Phillys trade block
Cam Tapp but his trade value is sooooo high.
Zdeno Chara He would trade potter
Brendan Cryer that's unrealistic AF.
John make sure you sort players by potential in free agency to see if any elite players are there. sometimes they don't work out but they are great trade bait. Like so Johnny sees
That's so cheap though. He doesn't play like that.
yeah johnny doesnt do that for a reason lol
Sort the free agency by potential and look if there are some undrafted elite players
MrIcecream1414 Theyre all pretty much Low Elite 50 overall 20 year olds that never make it
He doesn’t want to cheat the system and sign those guys just to trade them
Please like this comment so Johnny sees it. He keeps ignoring this. Even that goof TacTix does it in his GM modes.
Ethan Gibson how is it cheating the system? If there is an undrafted elite player out there that any team can sign it’s not cheating the system and it’s another prospect, who knows they might work out.
Hockey Enthusiast not true I’ve had a couple of guys become 85 overall and they were 18/19 like 60 overall. It’s rare but can happen
Lol That Barrie trade worked out! You traded a 9th Overall pick, turned out to be Med Top 6, for Barrie... Traded Barrie for a Second, that second turned out to be a Med ELITE Potter
Please not make this a weekly thing. Go back to twice a week please. Gm mode is my favourite.
mark my words; rocky roenick (jeremy roenick's 2nd cousin's nephew once removed) will win the vezina before his career is done. his name is just too good not to.
Thatcher Demko won the Calder and he's a goalie. Not that guy with 10 pts
Also most stats from the rookies don't show up after the season has ended because they're sent to the minors. It's really weird/dumb.
I have noticed on my gm modes all the rookie stats are fucked
try checking stats right when the season ends so the rosters dont move
Hip
wezzee No, I think it's because they no longer qualify for rookie status after the season is done, due to too many games played. :)
I think the Colin White trade was a good one, he has led the league in goals for my Franchise the last 3 years
Parker Brown Colin White, Darling, Condon are among players that always get good in my gm modes
I like how in this game if they do well their overalls go up to match their play, I had a 35 year old greiss and he had a .935 save percentage and he jumped from a 83 to a 88. Just like how darling jumped up as an older player
I live just to watch the vegas golden knights disappoint us for 50 minutes❤️
Johnny Make sure you check by potential there's some potential undrafted Med and Low Elites/Top 6 and Top 4 players in FA
I like that Johhny keeps things realistic.
Tanner Glass and a seventh for Carey Price
he doesn't need a goalie THAT badly...
I had Petr Mrazek as my goalie and he was an 84. He won the same awards as Darling and he jumped up to an 89. Darling might of had a bad overall during the playoffs, but because he won those awards and the Stanley Cup he got boosted to an 89.
"Hey, hey this is actually turning into a good video" Johnny you crack me up lol
13 hits in an 82 game season for a defenseman lol is ea joking
That tyson barrie trade looking pretty good right now
Jake Forst he should have got dadonov smh
Dear GM Superbman,
Please consider an idea that I have that I believe will help. I disagree with your future plan to use Roenick as trade bate.

Now if you want to turn Roenick into a franchise goalie at the age of 23-24, play him like I played Zhitnik
Really digging the 1 video per 8 days thing.
Trade Potter for Locke the Flyers want to get rid of him and the Vegas Golden Knights don't need another elite powerfoward
they also don't need another center!
Tajinder Dhillon you can always move him to the wing
computer dont think that way lol
ThatGuyUKnow18 I like the idea about trading for Locke but I think he should keep potter because it will come back to bite him
Locke is a frinder tho
Johnny u should play a game with the team! You’ve managed them so much it would be cool to see your children in action
Colin White trade is perfect , good job johnny boy !
You should ALWAYS check free agency for potential players John! I've been finding medium franchise players!!
sort free agents by potential. There is often med Elite players left from the draft especially goalies
In free agency filter by Potential and see the elites that weren’t picked up in the draft.
I watched Shea Theadore when he played on the thunderbirds and I’m happy that I can see him here
WOO WOO WOO JETT WOO!!!
Johnny should do a face reveal if he does not make the playoffs like you guaranteed
some times Low Elite players after successful years turn into Medium Elites.
so ottawa trades white cause they don't want to pay him but they get back a 7 million dollar player back?
Cole Porter Lol good catch. Well think of that trade as a lesser Duchene trade in real life. Only this time Ottawa didn’t give up so much
Cole Porter they are getting rid of a young player who will want a lot of money and be locked up with them like 4+ years it would make more sense for them to take on a 2year 7mil more experienced player for their playoff run
Humza Malik It really doesn't.
Cole Porter just use a bit of an imagination, maybe he wasn't jelling in the dressing room, showing up late to the skates, etc. Stuff that doesn't show up in the game but are real life team issues. Logan Brown was better than him, and maybe they wanted a veteran presence on the team since the youngins came up
Guys, NHL Community Back To Back Disses Are Coming, John And His Crew Are In The Second One, Out Monday Or Tuesday.
The same thing happened to me in the first two seasons of my Carolina Hurricanes franchise mode Scott Darling was a 83 and then in the 3rd season he went up to a 89
Juolevi is actually playing really good in the Finnish League right now
thumbs up this is my favorite video way to go 2bc this draft was amazing
Colin white plays so good in every one of my sims, plus he almost always hits high top 6
We now have the happy man Jett woo, the reader Victor Read, the bumpy man Rocky Roenick, we have selvestor from Lunney tunes Will ( I forget his first name but I think it’s Will) selvestor and we have the son of Harry Potter
in Coleton Potter
OMG the memes are real in Vegas
Your a wizard Colton
I like the idea to sign a goalie and packaging him with a defender to get a stud goalie. But I would keep grubby as you backup. Like if you're going to sign a tender, might as well sign Connor hellebuyck and increase that trade value even more
damn I'm excited for next episode. the team is looking nice.

If one of the PWF's become a goal scorer like Abduelkater then I would keep both.
Keep your eyes on Hayden Fluery, he exploded in my franchise. He shot up to 90 and produced on the PP
Once the season ends, the players who were rookies don't show up in the rookie points since they lose their rookie eligibility for the next season
i was running a Colorado gm mode and varlamov went from an 83 to an 88 the third year, I had to sign him that offseason, so I did, then he dropped to an 82 the following year.....
hello 2bc were are the parts of ep 3 did you forget or what i wanna see now ok
Trade idea: David Clarkson for a bag of pucks.
edit: Make that a bag of David Clarksons for a puck. Wouldn't wanna fleece 'em.
You were on what was considered the next season, so it looked at stats for players that would still be considered rookies for the year after.
I noticed while you were in the draft it said the flyers were shopping around clint locke, he was the elite grinder you missed out on. Maybe he would be someone to trade for
The med elite grinder locke you missed was put on the block by the flyers during the draft. Maybe try and get him...
JOHNNY HOW DARE YOU BAD MOUTH THE GOAT SCOTT DARLING,THE BEST GOD DAMN GOALIE IN THE LEAGUE
Trade for Korpisalo fro blue jackets, hes elite and always on the trade block cuz they have Bob.
For the rookie scoring, it didn't show the top guys because they're not rookies anymore come the offseason so they won't show. That's why none of those rookies had over 25 games. The rookies you saw are the players that are still rookies and Calder eligible next year
4:17 the blackhawks played the blackhawks in the Stanley cup?
Always look at the 2 way contract you can find elites in there that did it get drafted
locke is on the trade block for the flyers the med elite center grinder that went in 3rd round
Build a team around those elite power forwards and create a powerhouse dynasty
I knew before you got to loche he would be good because you had him scouted 11 times and was still projected as medium top 9 and when that happens they always turn out good.
The grinder locke is being shopped around by the flyers just so you know Johnny
2016-17 New Jersey Devils went 3-15-2 from the start of March to the end of the regular season.
RIP TWD, MLB, Injustice & 2BC
Hell-a-buck : hellebuyck
maybe he did in an older episode, but did he notice Reed jumped up to medium elite?
Yeah, I've found the sim can be so random (like life, I guess?). You could keep the same lineup and go 14-3-1 over the same period.
But yeah, that was a great draft. You have to sign those elite players (esp. the goalie) and get them in the AHL lineup, otherwise they'll develop slowly (or not at all). Also, you should quickly show more of the other teams' picks in the later rounds, as there are some gems in there (I got a franchise goalie in the 7TH ROUND, in 2023 I believe).
Go harder for this season by making those blockbuster trades!!!
i would consider going for Korpisalo from columbus since they have Bobrovsky. That sometimes doesnt work though so you could also try fro Evan Fitzpatrick he always turns out well in every gm mode i do.
Check 39:27. Jhonny, you should've tried to get Locke since you missed out in him
Hey Johnny. For some reason in this game if you check rookie stats after the season ends it doesn't show all the rookies... Not sure why..
Hey 2bc will you do a series for a 32nd team expansion draft??
Ive noticed that low elite low ovr players out of the draft have turned out better than the med elite low ovr players out of the draft despite the huge difference in trade value. Anyone else?
where's dadonov wtf nize
W5K wtf ikr
SIGN PIETRANGELO. 5 Years 8 million per year. Also, play Jett Woo on the 2nd pair. He will grow
That's been an issue since last year. The created or generated players, sometimes aren't considered rookies. May be a deeper reason than that, a glitch or loop in the system.
Hey Johnny great vid! My opinion about free agency is to sign Pietrangelo as he will be the elite defensemen that you need, and I would also sign Connor Helibuyk as I’ve signed him before and he can grow to a 87. Lastly, I would trade Potter for Locke because he’s on the Flyers trade block and I would trade Vatanen for either a elite sniper or 2 way forward to play along with Collin White.
What was the point then to Barrie's extension if you were going to trade him
Try to draft an unknown player in the draft with a draft pick in the later rounds, and that is because I suspect that hidden studs are probably found there
Jett Woo is the son of the asian guy from the movie Goon (Kim)
Dude, you've gotta trade for Locke! Flyers have him on the trading block. He could be the Golden Knight's Loooooooouuuu Morris!
The Reason it wasnt showing rookies is becuase sometime after the cup winner is announced, it doesnt show rookies as rookies anymore. If you checked during the playoffs it wouldve shown Rankin and all the other rookies. If you look those are all players who will still be considered rookies next season! Like so johnny sees

Johnny, I Need u to trade for me or else forget about ur chances of making the playoffs or at least get someone better than me cause u need a stellar goalie like me to even get close to the second round you hear me,I care about you
Frederik Andersen Harold BLuetooth
Wtf Scott Darling. The exact same happened in one of my be a pros. Just suddenly jumped up to an 89
On the draft news it said the Flyers werr shopping Locke around!
i skate with jett woo in the summer
How often are uploads?
YOU CAN WATCH THE LINES NOW JOHNNY LIKE SO HE SEES!!!!!!, go to the roster moves, edit lines, menu there is "view lines" :)
Trade vatanen and sign pitangelo
Josh Kahn u fucking idiot commented 2 times and wrote Piertangelo wrong both times
idiot
Pietrangelo idiot
You actually had 6 1-goal games in a row :')
That Sens trade was a good trade.
Make sure to sort free agents by potential - usually at least a few decent Med Top 6 F/Top 4 D/Starter or better potential players.
Even those low elite players you got can develop into great 3rd to 4th line players
Love the videos bro
My Calvin Picard grew to an 88 for my Vegas team
I want to see how you accumulate draft pick after draft pick, and still be able to build or maintain a dynasty
Give William Karlsson a look if you want a defensive center for bottom 6.
Damn straight the 'Canes are the champs! Lol
Get an elite goalie. You have tons of cap space so sign some players just for trade value and deal them to Columbus for Bobrosky or Korpy
Let Me Just Tell You, Your Collapse Was Not The Worst One In Sports. The Utes Blew A 7 Pt Lead With 2:00 To Go With Dumbass Whittingham And His Timeout.
Look at Mikkel Boedker, everytime I get him on my team, he produces well for three years and stops
