I feel like an intriguing rebuild would be the Islanders, they're so close to being cup bound but just need 1 or 2 more pieces to push them over the hump that is El Lightning. Not to mention that if the cup push fails, allot could happen in a story perspective
@@ZachNarwhal Well when I make these lists they are not intended to sim into the future. The point is, with base rosters, what are the top teams to use and rebuild right now. I don't go into it thinking about what would be fun in the future. That's what NHL 24 is for. Otherwise, why not say that taking the Lightning and trading everyone away for picks is fun? Ya know?
For someone who dosnet know much about the players or teams in the NHL other than the tops guys like McDavid and McKinnon. Any suggestions for a fun team to do a long term franchise mode? Thoughts on The Avs or a team like Montreal or Toronto or maybe Buffalo.
I think you did a great job on the names man. Great idea giving a heads up about it, and I have no clue if you mispronounced anything, if so it wasnt noticeable.
Definitely not hating bc i appreciate the hockey love, just a tip for the future tho, some NHL prospects are not on their roster such as Red Wings prospects Lucas Raymond and Simon Edvinsson, the easiest way to check this is to create a franchise mode and go into the trade screen, again no hate at all just wanted to try to help explain a bit
@@natewood4635 I try to be a variety sports channel but some things just don't work as well. These top 10 videos are the only ones that hit for NHL unfortunately. But I picked up the game today and will definitely be streaming it next week! Follow the Twitch and join us if you like!
Update: Islanders are almost certainly going to be at least an honorable mention next year, for the sole purpose that the cup push was unsuccessful (partially due to like, 20 consecutive away games, but the team just wasn't the same as it was previously) and a rebuild is almost certainly necessary and inevitable. Quite similar to the Kings in all reality, unless I'm forgetting some things
Well the Sabres have UPL in the system so goalie isn't really that big of an issue for them without the Eichel issue its rather easy to build them up as the only thing you really need to acquire is some top wingers because you already have premium young players at C(Eichel Cozens), D(Dahlin, Power), and G(UPL) now if only the Sabres management finally turned things around at some point. It also helps that they already have a few surplus of draft picks from the Reinhart and Ristolainen trades.
I did a rebuild with the Wings and finally made the playoffs after 5 years. Went all the way to the finals but lost in 7 to the Ducks. Heartbreaking, but fun.
Part of the process. You may have veteran players that actually get to win the cup, then those players look back at the moments when they struggled and lost players on the way to the cup.
@@KiwisCovers2112 you can do that. I thought you were asking about editing names and such of prospects. Sorry, content creator brain. Still can't do that, never could. It's the same game as 20 in regards to editing.
@@FranchiseGaming Being able to still edit players mid franchise mode like before is good to hear. I was hoping to be able to edit hair on generic face players like in create a player/ BAP mode with the new engine but I'll settle for just facial hair lol I figure you can fine tweak your shots/ skating styles still, NHL 20 only had the basic shooting styles lol
In another subject I would love to see someone do a franchise mode with Pittsburgh. To see what interesting point of view about the team. Should they push for more cup ? Should they do a small rebuild or go all in on the rebuild send away all good player for tanking ?
That's an interesting spin on a potential Pittsburgh rebuild. I think the difficulty in that is getting someone to CARE about the team. They've won so much already recently that it's hard to buy into the story.
@@FranchiseGaming your right no many persons would be interested in them because of they're history. Still it's could be cool to watch someone manager this situation.
I appreciate the work you put into the video and even if your not a major hockey guy, your helping grow the community so we are definitely happy to have you. But can you stop listing the good teams, trying to make some franchise mode content and almost all the teams i had ideas for were listed😂
@@FranchiseGaming Hey FG are you able to do a Canucks one pls. I never see one and it’ll be cool for you to turn them into a dynasty. Love the content btw!!!!
I can only go by what's in the game. The game tells me his contract is coming up. No I didn't go thru and add in all the real life extensions that have been made. Why would I? The game was released 2.5 hours ago if you payed 100 bucks. C'mon man.
@@FranchiseGaming i mean watch ur video at 2m54, u say Merzlikins contract is about to expire and on the screen we can see he already have a extention for 5.4m at the end of the line. At 3m03 same thing with Werenski the current season is on a contract 1 year 5m and he also got a extention for 9.585m already in game. B.jenner also have have a extention already in game. I was just trying to point you the fact its was already there. Didnt want to brother you sorry.
@@FranchiseGaming I can be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's mean extended salary which mean the salary he will receive for is next contract who's already sign.
@@Rockn_Pop very odd that they would be able to add that in when he just got extended late last month but good on them if they can. If you're right, I admit being wrong but it doesn't change too much in the context of the top teams to rebuild. Thanks for pointing it out though!
I think you missed number one team who barely makes playoffs and did not win a Cup in almost 50 years - Philadelphia Flyers. It’s extremely bad last several seasons and was bottom 3 in 2022 and had to trade their number one player Giroux.
They were at least in the cup final in 09/10. They were in the playoffs the last non-bubble season before this year and Giroux was traded during the year. If you notice, they still had him when the video was made. It's also my list and in my opinion, they weren't up there. Probably next year though.
I think the Coyotes would be a perfect choice if you were to do a series on NHL this year! Especially since they brought back the retro 😎
I love that 😍
That’s exactly why im doing a series on them!
I feel like an intriguing rebuild would be the Islanders, they're so close to being cup bound but just need 1 or 2 more pieces to push them over the hump that is El Lightning. Not to mention that if the cup push fails, allot could happen in a story perspective
Islanders have been real contenders and would be a pretty short rebuild in game
@@FranchiseGaming I know, but it would be a fun team to rebuild if you were to sim a few years in the future.
@@ZachNarwhal THATS CHEATING! 😂
@@FranchiseGaming is it really?

I’m using the Kraken. In their case, it’s just plain building since they’re brand new
Yea but they had a good expansion draft. They're not horrid in game.
Good vid. I’ll probably just use the Seattle Kraken in my free time if I decide to get the game. Nothing like a new expansion
True
For someone who dosnet know much about the players or teams in the NHL other than the tops guys like McDavid and McKinnon.
Any suggestions for a fun team to do a long term franchise mode?
Thoughts on The Avs or a team like Montreal or Toronto or maybe Buffalo.
Avs are really good and just won the cup final. I think Buffalo makes the most sense of what you mentioned. Good build.
@@FranchiseGaming thanks for the suggestion!!!
I think you did a great job on the names man. Great idea giving a heads up about it, and I have no clue if you mispronounced anything, if so it wasnt noticeable.
Thanks. I do my best. I'm not used to a lot of the European pronunciations so appreciate the kindness!
@@FranchiseGaming pro hockey has to have the most unique names of any major sport. Keep it up man. All the best!
@@ryanroyal9236 that's a fact 😂

Yea. Solid tip. I just went with whatever the rosters from the main menu had since I only had a 10 HR trial.
@@FranchiseGaming Completely understandable man, and like i said i appreciate the hockey love

@@FranchiseGaming Will do
Its been few months but for buffalo team, they got luukonen and levi as backup goalie in their ahl roster
I just went by the starting roster in the game, being that I legit made the vid RIGHT after downloading the game
Awesome work mate
Thank you sir
Slight correction: Anaheim reached the finals in 03, but lost to the Devils
Was corrected on that 8 hours before you did. Thank you.

I can see it. Just hard to put them on this particular season.
Well the Sabres have UPL in the system so goalie isn't really that big of an issue for them without the Eichel issue its rather easy to build them up as the only thing you really need to acquire is some top wingers because you already have premium young players at C(Eichel Cozens), D(Dahlin, Power), and G(UPL) now if only the Sabres management finally turned things around at some point. It also helps that they already have a few surplus of draft picks from the Reinhart and Ristolainen trades.
They should just move on from Eichel and get a couple good players or a good player and pick.
I did a rebuild with the Wings and finally made the playoffs after 5 years. Went all the way to the finals but lost in 7 to the Ducks. Heartbreaking, but fun.
That sounds really fun actually!
Part of the process. You may have veteran players that actually get to win the cup, then those players look back at the moments when they struggled and lost players on the way to the cup.
Can you edit players at all once you start your franchise mode? Everywhere says no and it's making me want this less and less
Never been a thing in NHL unfortunately. Still isn't.
@@FranchiseGaming I have NHL 20 n you can edit their facial hair, positon, shot type etc. during a franchise mode. All of this is gone?
@@KiwisCovers2112 you can do that. I thought you were asking about editing names and such of prospects. Sorry, content creator brain. Still can't do that, never could. It's the same game as 20 in regards to editing.

Thanks but doesn't that show SOME level of knowledge 😂
I use the Preds as my franchise mode team (mostly because they are my favorite team) I’m thinking about doing like the Sens or something
NICE! Yea, Sens are definitely interesting!
If I get the game, I’ll definitely be rebuilding my Preds. But Arizona and Seattle are big 1b’s and 1c’s for me.
Good options for sure!
Loves the vids
Appreciate you fam!
Been going back and fourth between the Kraken, Sabres, and even the Sens. However the Yotes wouldn’t be a bad option either
Not at all! All good choices!
Definitely need to do a Coyotes series
It would definitely be interesting! I like the idea!
That’s exactly what im doing if your interested😁
Have you ever thought about getting into broadcasting? You have a good voice!
Really appreciate that a lot! I stream on twitch!
You cant rebuild the Kraken because they haven’t played a full season yet
However, you CAN build them up
Rebuild as in the gamer sense but yea I see your point
I would love a nhl series pls FG!!!
It's 100% happening on twitch! Go follow over there!
@@FranchiseGaming Hey FG are you able to do a Canucks one pls. I never see one and it’ll be cool for you to turn them into a dynasty. Love the content btw!!!!
Personal Favorite team would be the Wild probably. They never get anywhere.
And only have Minimal Success. Kaprisov is a good player to build around.
Agreed
u say Colombus have some player who dont have contract to next year, but u didnt see they'have extention already.

Ummmm. Sir you got that wrong the ducks never won the cup in 2003, they lost to the NJ Devils in 7
