bubapuuppala Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I've ran into weird messages while checking out players that have been put available for trade in NHL. While playing with Pittsburgh I get these messages like "Pittsburgh is interested in acquiring (player's name)". The players are usually neither young prospects for a better future or good players by their talent stats. In my eyes, they are mediocre players that are out there in every corner. Are these messages just mumbojumbo or is there something significant about these players that I'm missing? I don't understand why my team would benefit of these players.

IvanIvanovich Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 It's window-dressing. This is usually triggered by you scouting a player belonging to another team. "Trade-rumours" are mostly noise, just like in real life... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Riz Remes Posted December 15, 2016 SI Staff Share Posted December 15, 2016 Above is correct, some of the trade rumours are just that, rumours. They do have some facts behind them though like scouting or inquiries so not all completely random. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubapuuppala Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Oh ok, so they are rumours of my team, not my team's facullty's thoughts to guide me to getting the right players of their choice? Good to know. Thank you guys! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

South-Side Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I've had something strange happening in my sim, in the preseason the Devils put both their goalies on the block at the same time ( Kinkaid and Schneider). It felt weird such a move by the AI, tried to go for Schneider as he's way better than what i have at Winnipeg but they wouldn't trade for him at all. But he was still available for a long time into the season. Kinkaid ended up on waivers as nobody offered to trade for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
