So I made a franchise with the Canucks. I attempted to blow everything up and tank this year just based on all the goings on and rumors surrounding the Nucks this season.
I dumped Demko, Horvat, Garland, Boeser, Myers, and Pearson for picks and replacement level players to start the season and kept guys who I think aren't likely to be tradeable in OEL, Miller, Poolman. I then iced the worst possible roster I could and simmed the season.
Introducing the 2022/23 Vancouver Canucks, who steamrolled the Division winning VGK in 5 games and were promptly swept in the second round by the Flames by scoring 2 goals in 4 games and being shutout in 3 of 4.
Wound up drafting 25th overall in the first round because none of the above players that I traded were valued remotely close to any first round picks to start the year. My coach also won the Jack Adams.
Meanwhile, in the literal hundreds of franchise teams I've done over the years, I've only managed to win the cup a handful of times (literally can count on one hand) with teams that vary from all-star calibre to extremely well rounded and filled with good but not overpowering depth.
This game is so f***ed, lol.
