Johnny going scorched Earth and trading a bunch of guys for picks, both makes sense, yet is insanity. As we learned with the Vesce trade, when he does the coke, he has some crazy ideas which somehow work out.
theres just no need to start hynes this year. just pick up any like 83-85 goalie for a year then have hynes backup and start next year. sometimes i even do a 3 year plan where year 1 the prospect young goalie backs up an 85ish goalie, year 2 i trade the 85ish goalie halfway through and make him the starter, then year 3 full starter. depends on things like age, potential, team strength, etc.
Personally, would’ve kept the goalie and given them a first. Basically a roster player, 1 prospect, and one chance to pick a prospect. Feel it was more realistic than 2 prospects (Similar to the Ullmark deal). But I don’t think it was an overpay
Im sad Laine is gone, I were hoping after that playoff run he could retire as a yeti, but you did it the right way, respecting the UTAH YETI LEGEND sending him to a cup contender
Awesome to see that he didn't end it and came back with a new plan and new story line to build with this team. He is right, This has been the best franchise he has ever done. Its so much fun to watch.
Johnny!!! As of the end of thisvideo, Sabres are dead last (8th) in the Atlantic division, Panthers only two spots up in 6th place. Also? I'd keep an eye D Owen Power. He fits in all of your defensive lines.
Either the league feels so bad for Gordon Lynch for having to persevere through the trash fire that is the Ottawa Senators of he truly is the next coming of Jesus Christ. There’s nothing else it can be.
Lol again Russian, You are doing this on purpose I love it. Again for your information, he is from Latvia. Great series John. I love your videos keep it coming. ;-)
Vishnevskiy definitely seems like he will be a great long term replacement for laine. Shooting category is all in the 90s despite only being 17 at the time of his draft, and half way into the season he's second in shooting on the team despite only being on the third line? He's got the stats and he's got the frequency. We've got another stud here for sure. Also I can't even believe how good Hynes is at 76 overall. .917% wtf.
Ain't no way this man already traded away the twitch scouts' pet project who could've been the current backup goalie at similar stats as the tower with higher potential 😭😭😭🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Rental goalie at the deadline. Doesn't even have to be good but high poise for playoffs in case you need to make some changes. Should have two good options in the playoffs if Hynes keeps playing well.
You need to take this season and next to start scouting the NHL/AHL to find and lock up your 3rd line D and lock them into 4/5 year contracts to match the 6-year window. All your current D prospects are trash, flip 2 of them in each trade for the two guys around 80 OVR that will work in your system and give you positive chemistry and could PK in a pinch
The power play setup should be more realistic where it’s two groups of 4 forwards and a defenseman. You have enough top end players to fill it out now but I think playoff time it would be fine to double up
Just a thought, since Vish likes the 2nd line the most and knies not putting up great numbers, I’d swap the 2 and see if that grows Vish and helps the sim
@@sds606 even if he does a team on that's in contention like Vegas wouldn't take a developmental goalie for an established star Dman, a 3rd liner & depth guy
You thought about not finishing the series? But the fans wanted to see the rest of Vesce’s career. We wanted to see Ukraine Wayne’s career sim too and we didn’t get that.
Gotta say this episode was a bit too much on the unrealistic side. Vegas trades a huge competitor a top pair lvl D for a 3rd liner & 2 guys who haven't played. No way those teams would just throw non protected 1sts away for old, fading players making considerable $.
Despite all your efforts you literally fleeced the system. You made the Sens take on 11 from Doan and Swayman and Doan barely has any trade value. Take away their ability to sign Bear Erne. On top of that took a perfect LW that would fit into their top 6. Makes no sense for the storyline and you completely fucked them. And that trade was completely unfair. Best Forward prospect for a bottom 6 guy and an aging goaltender making 11 combined with two late shit picks. You should surrender your top two picks to the Sens in the draft for screwing over the computer.
Increasingly unrealistic. You are in fact fleecing the system by acquiring first round picks where there is no top 10 or top 5 protection. If you limited yourself to maybe 1 first round pick a year I would say that’s fair but what you’re doing is so unfair you’re purposely trying to steal a top pick from a team that ends up bottoming out. And you are literally the reason Ottawa couldn’t sign Bear Erne… on top of the fact that this whole series would be nothing without cheesing the system to get a franchise player because you didn’t feel like doing a proper/realistic rebuild.
Johnny, I can hear the keys of the menu tiles in the game. And for scouting I think you should scout the fuck out of the 1st round, fuck the rest and have fun and guess. You have already drafted a team and have your young key pieces. Just need to fill in the depth.
I swear this whole utah series has been unrealistic trades and signings kinda made it unwatchable after the minisota trade. Does johnny even know hockey?
What happened here? That Ottawa-trade made no sense. Yes Ottawa needed a goalie, but its not like they are in a hurry, Erne just ended his entry level and now they cant resign him. Make it make sense, you lost me.
No, johnny gave them a top goalie in order to go for a cup run, he literally made sure they had plenty of cap to sign erne with sway and they chose not to, he couldn't do anything about that
Kinda sick of the ridiculous trades. In real life that Guenther trade is ridiculous. I'd like slightly more realistic trades. Getting a couple of pics back would be more fun to get back cuz those are fun to use. More realistic trades and better videos. The ridiculous trades just get tiring after awhile.
Who else is glad this isn't over? This has been absolute CINEMA!
I just hope he does another series after this one - there is no one like Johnny - this series has been a revival
Gordon Lynch taking home the Bill Masterton every year is lowkey the funniest thing of all time 💀
This type of entertainment, plus being on the road as a trucker is why I stopped watching television 10 years ago. Great series John.
To have the record they have with a 78 ovr starter shows how capable this team is for dynasty status
Johnny hit the McDonald’s Coke real hard in this episode
I wanted so much for Ottawa to make the pick while Johnny wouldn’t shut up about the trade!😂

Holy hell, talk about a quick edit.
19:14 "Never thought i would see Trent Frederic on the trade block but i guess crazier things have happened!" Fucking scandalous news indeed.
We want this every single year! We need a 2bc gm mode that lasts from October to June/July every year, he’s a hero to all gm mode fans!!
Can we see the Franchise Records at some point? please :)

Literally asking to be blown out in the real time simulation come the playoffs, if he makes the playoffs to begin with
Hot take, I actually think the valiquette trade was an underpay
Not a hot take. That's a legit top pair Dman for 2 unknowns & Guenther who's been a 3rd liner. They'd never accept that.
@@alex__2265the goalie is a guarantee stud with that high elite.. he’ll hit high 80’s for sure

He could've put one of those 1st round picks for next year for sure.
Bruh 2 good prospects and a middle 6 fwd vs barely top pair guy. Normal deal. @@alex__2265
Thanks for the long stream Johnny❤
Alright, Cooley getting stripped of the A was the ultimate disrespect, I can't lie...
please dont let this series die im in love
I think maybe getting a back up goalie in the 70-76 range could help the simulation a bit to make the playoffs.
Im sad Laine is gone, I were hoping after that playoff run he could retire as a yeti, but you did it the right way, respecting the UTAH YETI LEGEND sending him to a cup contender
GM Superbman MIGHT be the best GM in NHL HISTORY
Love how we all thought this was gonna be a 6 episode series n now we're on ep 31
ALRIGHT UTTTAAAHHHH WE ARE BACKKKKKKK
This epic series need to continue. Will Vesce become the greatest player in NHL.
Love the video Johnny! Dying laughing during the awards 😂

Dude Vishnevskiy is insane. 17 years old 80 overall, x-factors, shots in the 90s??? 6'4 217
Hope you continue this sim and series for a while longer great laughs love you John your videos help me get through the day brother!
From back to back cups, to an incredible storyline in the 3rd year and what else will happen who knows. Just glad the series isn’t over yet
Either the league feels so bad for Gordon Lynch for having to persevere through the trash fire that is the Ottawa Senators of he truly is the next coming of Jesus Christ. There’s nothing else it can be.
Does anyone know what the most seasons Johnny has ever done out of all his gm modes?
Lol again Russian, You are doing this on purpose I love it. Again for your information, he is from Latvia. Great series John. I love your videos keep it coming. ;-)

For NHL 25, you should use the team that drafts Silayev since he’s gonna be a beast

The Buffalo Sabres are cursed
Johnny did a few extra lines before this episode
Shoutout Keegan magasi. I’m early
Johnny you made me play franchise mode again
WHAT ARE THE OTTAWA SENATORS DOING LMFAAAOOOOO
Also the Buffalo Sabres are absolutely cursed 😂💀
If the Stars IRL don’t win the cup till 2031 imma be sad
Go get a goaltender at the deadline. Hynes will get his games in up to that point, but you’ll need a bonafide starter to go on a run in the playoffs.
i do not understand johnny gm decision but i suppose its worked so far
76 ovr goalie with a 64 backup. Yeah all your players are going to drop in overall next year.
When he ends this GM mode he has to go to buffalo and get them a cup because even the game is not giving them the cup.
You should take a look at the record books
Can someone explain the lynch storyline
should’ve brought hanifin back with valiquette wanted to get rid of him and you got the space on the roster and cap wise
There's 0 way Vegas would ever do that trade lmao. An absolute stud 22 yr old D for 2 unprovens & a middle 6 Fs who's inconsistent.
The goalie is going to hit high 80’s with that high elite potential

they signed ekblad and dubois for 9 mil instead lmao they coulda let so many players walk but didnt

Hynes is cracked
Should’ve got power instead of valliquete , more realistic too

please pick up a decent goalie for the playoffs and 2 defensemen 82-84 ovr and maybe even a stud center for the tird line 79 isnt good enough
Gordon Lynch has character
Kids got heart on top of heart 😂
keep the team how it is. if we miss the playoff that would better for us in the long run with getting maybe 3 top ten picks.
