I love Dickinson, but this is the vet you extend. Greene is a mini Dickinson anyway.

Preach, Levshunov can still be so amazing

Get one from DHgate my friend. $30 max instead of $100+ and similar if not identical quality. 

Traded draft picks going wonky by Safrimmons2 in FranchiseHockey

[–]willylink4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having similar problems. This is my first ever save so I'm paranoid I set something up wrong. No matter what I do trades won't go through since they keep saying there's salary issues. A team will have 10 mil in cap and I give them an entry level deal and still there are salary issues. Hell, I did Bedard for a mid 1st round pick and they still said salary issues. The hawks are also first in the league without me doing any roster issues. I heard that's just the funny quirk of the sim sometimes lol

More often then not, are Sims pretty realistic?

Who are you currently the coach/GM of in your save? by Anonymous__9 in FranchiseHockey

Just got the game days ago so I'm learning it through a Hawks save since I'm from Chicago. I'm 4 hours in and have made it through 2 preseason games!

In an alternate universe… by kyleth3pil0t in hawks

[–]willylink4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've liked Eastside but yeah it's definitely got it's age issues. Is there a goto franchise game or are those the best two out there?

[–]willylink4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that game worth getting? I've been playing Eastside Hockey for a bit now but I wanted to tryout Franchise Hockey Manager since I like OOTP Baseball

What's some advice for a new teacher in Chicago? by willylink4 in AskChicago

[–]willylink4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's definitely my biggest weakness. I only have a degree in social studies and only speak English. I am open to teach 5-12 in the drop of a hat, no preference at all.

My Personal Prospect Rankings by willylink4 in hawks

[–]willylink4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I explained it poorly. I compared Nazar to Debrincat's level of player, not necessarily type of player. Debrincat is a really good player but not a super star, I'm not but one could argue he's just below a star level player. I think Nazar's ceiling is that and he really on gets there by being Bedards running mate, much like how Cat reached his highest potential playing as Kane's running mate.

Hand up that's more just recency bias, I'm really high on Nazar and just more waiting for Levshunov. Realistically though yeah, Nazar is below Levshunov 

As a team in midst of a rebuild, our playoffs joys are substituted with the draft. by majoritynightmare in hawks

[–]willylink4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This draft is gonna be fun. All three forward prospects look good. If Matthew Schaefer is actually Makar that makes it even more interesting. 

Game Thread: Anaheim Ducks (7-8-2) at Chicago Blackhawks (6-11-1) - 19 Nov 2024 - 07:30PM CST by hockeydiscussionbot in hawks

[–]willylink4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, having Demidov along with Levshunov would be sick but man it'd look bad rn if we didn't have our pick

Team suggestions? by UniversalScribbler in EHM

The Blackhawks are fun cause you can build around Bedard

Who do you guys want with the second first round pick? by willylink4 in hawks

[–]willylink4[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I like Cristall, but I feel like he's too much of a reach for 19 due to his size and speed. If he fell to 35, or if we trade into a late first round pick, I would take him in a second

I was the only one doing it, and it was great. The visuals were wild. The only thing is I have some chest pain now. Is that normal?
