usually i’ll hire an allsvenskan scout over a rest of world scout since there’s more players that come out of there but other than that really great video, very helpful
I also look at a Scout's Efficiency and Discovery ratings. Especially with C or lower rated scouts. In NHL 20 I had a D rated scout with A+ efficiency and B+ discovering. Everything else was all D's or C-'s
Want to start with the red wings and hoist the cup with Larkin. So basically find a head coach that is 100% for Larkin and then draft players around that coaching strategy? Also, do I need an ahl head coach with the same strategy as the NHL head coach?
On my canuckd franchise i got my dman up from a 81 ovr to 90 ovr in one season. Youre right man gotta have that winning team otherwise itll be the slow burn of up 1 or 2 per year instead of the big growth
I found a Reddit post saying that if you set all your scouts to “find prospects” and set the quality to “any” and the duration to “entire season” that you get a bunch of gems. I got like 14 in one season. Every now and then I get a medium elite in the 3rd round but other than that it's all low elite in rounds 4+. It takes way less work that this method. I know nobody plays this game anymore just thought you should know.
If you want to build around your defense, offensive coaches are the best fit, which honestly makes no sense.... if you want to build a really strong forward core, I'd lean towards a generalist style of coach, but sometimes defensively biased coaches work well for that too
Thanks, man! Just a noob question, so if you draft 55-65 rating prospect, where you should put him- 4th line NHL or move him to AHL? Or other options exist?
Whenever I click the prospects to work down.....it just picks the players at random. So instead of Raty being at the top like in yours...for mine he is in the middle.
That always made sense to me. Just bring the guys up when they're ready or borderline ready and give them playing time. But is that the issue people are talking about? That prospects don't grow in the AHL? Or is it that players go up to a certain overall and then regress?
It's both with franchise mode. If players aren't promoted at the right time in their potential development, they just begin to regress like crazy! I find this happens namely with top end AHL Players that are on the cusp of an NHL promotion.
I've tried the scouting backwards method where the top ones are actually at the top but when I confirm the assignment it always moves them around to like the middle or something.
Hi mate, what do the different potentials mean? Like what’s a good potential I see Ellie a lot does that mean good I see like top 6 f does that mean potential to be a top 6 forward in the nhl or?
Yes, potentials mean pretty much exactly what they say. For example, a medium leite is going to at one point or another be an all star I their career. Versus a high elite player is Borderline pushing being s franchise defining player.
So I have some guy a rookie that ended up putting up 100 points at the trade deadline (don’t ask me how) but they didn’t grow like forever so what time of the season do they grow?
You'll have to go into your operations budget and allocate more funds towards that. If you're not playing with owner mode on, you can hire without worrying about the budget
I might've missed this, but for when should I sign prospects to elc contract? Is there a certain overall to look for or does it depend on if you have a roster spot on your ahl team? Say for example you have a top-6 or top-4 forward that has an overall between 67-79, should I sign them to my ahl team or wait for them to be over agers in their junior league? Great vid btw, I really like your methodology to scouting.
Prospects should be brought up when there's room for them, but you also want them to come into an ideal team situation for maximum growth. For example, if there's a roster spot open for a 79 overall elite player, but your team is about to have a Sabres 2021 season, maybe hold off on signing them for a season or two. You want your team to win with rookies, this will give them way more Stat and natural growth.
Good vid, but why send a scout to ROW when there are literally zero prospects there? Theres usually less than 10 and i see in this video that theres 0 forwards 0 defensemen and 0 goalies lol
@@wrydstepbr0_0 it all depends on how good your scout rating is if he a A he can in cover more. But I just keep scouting till I uncover everything. I always find 2nd round medium elites or even 3rd rounders and like 2 or 3 gems.

How'd you get the black background in Franchise mode?
This video was recorded in NHL 21, not NHL 22 unfortunately
Thanks man that auto scout was most of my prob but for the player growth thx so much too!
No worries bro. Glad I could help

Good to know, maybe I'll try it on 22
Just tried it, it works when you want big steals in later round, otherwise my scouts couldnt find jack shit for potentional in the top 10
I needed this so much lol
@Tomas Nathan thx bro
Thank you for this video.
What are the most common prospect line bias for offense and defense so I can pick the best coach to build in the draft?
If you want to build around your defense, offensive coaches are the best fit, which honestly makes no sense.... if you want to build a really strong forward core, I'd lean towards a generalist style of coach, but sometimes defensively biased coaches work well for that too
Thanks, man! Just a noob question, so if you draft 55-65 rating prospect, where you should put him- 4th line NHL or move him to AHL? Or other options exist?
Definitely AHL
also there is an option of not signing the prospect..

Yeah I've heard more and more people having this problem. Honestly, I don't think it makes a difference though

Yeah its strange how it works. There's literally no consistency to scouting...
@@Etanyos just making sure it wasnt something I was doing, I noticed it and was like why is it doing that

So I have some guy a rookie that ended up putting up 100 points at the trade deadline (don’t ask me how) but they didn’t grow like forever so what time of the season do they grow?
Oh that's so weird, what was his starting overall and age?
@@Etanyos I will check
@@Nhl2375 you never responded
Wait did I miss something, how are you over the cap for scouting salary
At the start of your franchise mode setup, turn off owner mode. Then there's no budgets
@@Etanyos woah really? I thought the budgets still applied without owner mode
Why i have money for only 14 scouts?
You'll have to go into your operations budget and allocate more funds towards that. If you're not playing with owner mode on, you can hire without worrying about the budget

I only sent them there because had Connor Bedard showing up there.
@@Etanyos interesting, i guess the region overview isnt totally accurate to the actual number off prospects?
There’s never prospects in rest of the world.
There are sometimes. A quick solution to this would be to sign another Russia scout because there are always so many Russian prospects in the drafts
i think that sometimes when you create players they end up there
I take my time. Takes about 40 minutes a season but I uncover top prospects with method
What do you do? I can scout prospects multiple times and I'll still only have 1 or 2 bars

First comment
Hopefully the first of many on this video! Any questions?
@@Etanyos nah I’ve watched a lot of vids on scouting so I’m set. I’m going to try your method tho seems like it works better👍
thumbs down for 34min
I wanted longer too. Or another vid on player dev
