Did you know that if there is an High top 6 forward in the draft, It can be an Elite, Top 6 or Top 9. It can only throw off by 1. If its Medium it can throw off by 2. If its low it can throw off by 3. If its exact it’s going to be the same as the potential is in the draft. Same with d-man but with d-man potentials. I’m not absolutely sure about this but I think that’s how it goes. And if my English is not correct, its my secondary language.
I don't know if you already know how drafting works in NHL 18, so this comment could be pointless. You always want to take low top 9 forwards or low top 6 defensemen in the later rounds. The reason is that if your scouts say their potential is low that means their potential can jump up or two tiers. So low top 9 could be elite or ahl top 6. High they can only jump one tier, medium two. It's worth it to use all picks below the second round to get that one or two low elite than to get a few top 9/top 6 guys.
I feel like you need to edit some potentials like for the bruins series. There were low overall players with bad potential who deserved better potential.
TacTixHD yea living in buffalo as a hockey fan has been tough the past couple of years, we always say next year will be great but it never happens. We thought we would come pretty close to the playoffs this year but I guess we were wrong by a mile
Always wondered about the teams rating. How are they calculated. Tampa has 93 overall but there is not even a 93 overall player in there. Can someone bring more insight ?
Eichel is like 21, a point per game player on the worst team in the league, and just beat his goal and point record while missing around 20 games from an injury. But he’s not good enough to make the young guns team of the year
Hi TacTix! I really like this series! You should give the card to a fan instead of quickselling it. It is such a waste of good cards and you would get more viewers!
Why don't you just retain salary in some of your trades. The Ho-Sang trade you could have retained 50% of Sustr's contract to make the trade go thru the first time.
How do you play Franchise Mode with created players? What do the settings have to be to get them in? My game won't seem to upload them into Franchise mode.
Make a created player, but don't assign them to a team. They should show up in the draft. If you do more than one, you may want to spread them out over different years, or give them different birth dates so they don't all come out in the same draft.
Get rid of Ilya kovalchuk or stop signing him. He’s not in the league and isn’t officially back. It’s so dumb seeing you sign him. Not realistic at all.
billsfan7883 true, not years decades. .... however, they finally started a rebuild, and it took 2 years of tanking (I'm counting the marner pick) to be one of the best teams in the league. Is buffalo almost done rebuilding?
Hockey Talk talent wise, I don’t think anyone can deny Buffalo. Organizational wise, it was a complete mess & seems to just now be settled, so I guess time will tell. I do like Botterill though. We’ll see.
Sabres don’t rly need that much work in real life. Just need time for these prospects to grow up and need better depth. We have horrid depth but a decent top 6
Hope you enjoyed the video! Let me know if you have any trade ideas for the Calgary Flames :)
never left pornhub so fast. Love this series.
Trade hamonic and first or second round for Tyson Barrie
Zach Vandervis WHAT THE FUCK THERE IS KIDS WATCHING THIS
TacTixHD do me a favour next time and for your own safety, do not trust your scouts in nhl 18, EA made drafting harder so that you can get steals
TacTixHD get a right winger for the first line a goalie and trade bennet
Yo TackTix! You should rename the Series “Sign Kovelchuk Year 1 and Build a Team by Signing Every Free Agent” the name will fit the series better :)
Lmao true
Lil bit to long of a name maybe that should be the description
So true
I love this series. Hopefully it ends up getting completed!
JakeRD can you please sub to me I was your 8th Subscriber
I always finish my series :)

Dude this video is rad, what a rollercoaster I was literally emotionally invested in numbers ha.

Good point. Low also means they can drop 2, but I agree it's worth the risk!
Let’s go boys! Love these episodes!
Thanks so much!
Tactix for Ottawa gm IRL
its amazing how you can get them to grow so fast , I have a franchise player and he's only grew up to 81 when e started at 75 in 3 seasons
Blackhawks Blackhawks what was his potential?
Then you treated him terribly. If you play him in the lower leagues when he’s 79 or less, they can grow to a 85. You just did him wrong
I think TacTixHD is one of the best hockey youtubers.
I love these videos! They are so informative and so fun to watch!! Can't wait until he does my home team: Chicago!! Love your vids TacTix!
Let's go Hawks!
I feel like you need to edit some potentials like for the bruins series. There were low overall players with bad potential who deserved better potential.
Hutton actually signed with Buffalo!😂
TacTixHD Blew a 3-1 lead 😂
I absolutely love this series!! Amazing video
*is surprised Carter Hutton is a free agent and high overall*...couple of months later Sabres actually signed Carter Hutton
I do like the updated rosters that you made it makes this series more interesting
This is the best series EVER!!!!
Wow. At the end of the first season Buffalo only had 3 80+ overall players in offense left. Very sad
Guhle should be so much better wtf, he’s definitely medium top 4 low 70s overall by real life standards
Love the series!! Can’t wait till you get to the pens!!
Lol Funny Hutton ended up in Buffalo in real life too.
Really enjoying this series, keep it up!!
Wow in my franchise mode boeser was a 91 in year 2
Do Flyers 2020 cup or bust
FINALLY! Post notification squad 😎
Nice! But on the initial Sabres and Americans line-ups where are Guhle and Nelson?
Do you think the future is bright for the Sabres TacTix? Also great series man keep it up!
I think they have some nice pieces, but D and goalie still need an upgrade. This is gonna be a big summer for them.
TacTixHD yea living in buffalo as a hockey fan has been tough the past couple of years, we always say next year will be great but it never happens. We thought we would come pretty close to the playoffs this year but I guess we were wrong by a mile
What was the point in keeping Hutton past the trade deadline? Obvious he was going to regress and probably had a decent amount of value to trade.
Ya carter Hutton, cam ward, and antti rannta have all grown to 89 for me. It's wierd
TheDabbingTaco I've had Jacob Markstrom turn to a 89 for one year and totally dropped lol
I normally see Antti Rannta turn Elite
Who is actually gonna watch every second of this vid?
Please stop signing Kovalchuk...
You said there are so many overpaid players did you see the redwings?
Carter Hutton actually went to Buffalo in 2019
That’s the luck of the sabres for ya Cole lmao
You should try Rebuild 2020 cup for the Minnesota Wild!
You said that u wanted to tank in year one... then you sign Kovy?
Hey Tac Tix , I loved video , you should get a merch line so we can support you , thanks
Might as well throw Kovelchuk on the flames roster because I know your birch ass is gonna sign him
Biggie Cheezits, bad day?
Kovalchuk* and what is a birch ass?
Wow
You should add the player Washington signed who played his first game against the Rangers unless he’s already in the game
Always wondered about the teams rating. How are they calculated. Tampa has 93 overall but there is not even a 93 overall player in there. Can someone bring more insight ?
Do you know now because i agree
Eichel is like 21, a point per game player on the worst team in the league, and just beat his goal and point record while missing around 20 games from an injury. But he’s not good enough to make the young guns team of the year
Put jordan greenway in the game for the next cup or bust. He is on the wild
He's doing my team next!! Let's goooo!
I am a big fan and love watching you play NHL and I love the mcdavid’s road to glory
This series is awesome keep doing it
Calgary next lets go
Gonna try and bring you the Cup :)
TacTixHD do edmonton. Screw calgary. Haha
Calgary sucks. Let's go leafs
I also like Edmonton
iHitConnect he’s doing it in order
Do Montreal
Favourite series
You should make a custom player and put Mittelstadt in the line up.
LMAO I was a couple minutes in and you already did it, nice lol.
I’m a big fan keep up the good work your amazing
Thank for doing this!!!!
Those players your getting are good
Montreal ? Love this series
Your best bet in the year one NHL Entry Draft is to go for Computer generated players.
The islanders are in Brooklyn not Long Island
I love tactixhd
Good playing
Thunder Bay!
Hi TacTix! I really like this series! You should give the card to a fan instead of quickselling it. It is such a waste of good cards and you would get more viewers!
I would if I could! But you're not allowed to do giveaways this year :(
TacTixHD Ok, thank you! Keep up the good work then! 👌
When will you do the next trade day? Plz reply I would like to know :)
Why don't you just retain salary in some of your trades. The Ho-Sang trade you could have retained 50% of Sustr's contract to make the trade go thru the first time.
I guess a 0.923 sv % and a 2.33 GAA is bad now
K o v a l c h u k

Brad Richardson is good Martin Hanzal is good but yeah R.J. Umberger is really that good
15:06 accurate bc they’ll lose the lottery
Man you like to decline trades that will be very good for Buffalo. You could've got Bellemare from the Knights
Please do a Toronto maple leafs version
Best videos on RUclips
Did you make cozens better? Jw becuase he plays for lethbridge which is by were i live
Get rid of Ilya kovalchuk or stop signing him. He’s not in the league and isn’t officially back. It’s so dumb seeing you sign him. Not realistic at all.
Tony Giorgio, you do realize it’s almost guaranteed he’ll be back for 18-19, and it is almost more realistic he is there than that if he wasn’t
Who fucking cares do you know how dumb you sound “Its not realisic” who fucking cares it’s a video game???
Sam Gautreau do you know how dumb you sound with that grammar? Lol
Hampus Lindfors exactly, he openly said he wants to play for the rangers. No other team
Tony Giorgio yup you was right no other team than rangers lmfao idiot
just like in real life buffalo still owns toronto, eichel>matthews
Captain KeKe yeah, he also helps his team to getting LOCKED INTO A....... draft lottery spot lol
But Buffalo doesn't own any playoff spots
TX9MDY true, I mean you guys were awful for years to be able to say that.
billsfan7883 true, not years decades. .... however, they finally started a rebuild, and it took 2 years of tanking (I'm counting the marner pick) to be one of the best teams in the league. Is buffalo almost done rebuilding?
Hockey Talk talent wise, I don’t think anyone can deny Buffalo. Organizational wise, it was a complete mess & seems to just now be settled, so I guess time will tell. I do like Botterill though. We’ll see.
The leafs team build is so far away:( Oh well. lol
Best ever

Sabres don’t rly need that much work in real life. Just need time for these prospects to grow up and need better depth. We have horrid depth but a decent top 6
You really don't know a whole lot about hockey...
Idiot stop criticizing him. He probably knows more than you
Put them up on the auction house for cheap, give back to the community :)
