Conferences/Divisions:West: Div A - Coast Division: Ana; Van; SJS; TB Div B - Centralized Division: Det; Chi; ATL; STL
(parenthasis means, "may be dropped due to inactivity")East: Div A - MON; Buf; (PIT); Ott Div B - Was; Bos; (NYR); (NJ)
Odd Team Out: FLA
If a GM ends upleaving, I'll have to make slight adjustments for next season. Until then (hypothetically speaking) someone would have to take two teams or we get a new GM, OR that team just freezes until the season's over. Schedule structure Example Team: Vancouver Team's played a season. WEST: DIV A:VAN - X SJ - 4 ANA - 4 TB - 4 (Vs. Division = 12 games a season) DIV B:CHI - 3 DET - 3 ATL - 3 STL - 3 (Vs. Division = 12 games) Vs. Conference = 24 Games. EAST: DIV A:PIT - 3 BUF - 3 OTT - 3 MON - 3 (Vs. Division = 12 games) DIV B:WAS -2 BOS - 2 NJ - 2 NYR - 2 (Vs. Division 8 games) Vs. Conference = 20 Games. Div X:FLA - 3 Games a season = 47

For the schedule we will just go down the list for a team. Ex: (VAN)
Van vs. SJ VS. ANA VS.TB VS. CHI VS. DET VS. ATL VS. STL VS.PIT VS. BUF VS. OTT VS. MIN VS. FLA VS. WAS VS. BOST VS. NJD VS. NY Rinse, wash, repeat... and since we don't need to worry about the fatigue of players, we can get through a whole 42 game season in 42 days if we stick to s strict schedule. Although that's a lot of games a day to sim.
This also raises a new problem, simple solution but tedious. And if no one else wants to do it, I totally understand. Since there's no GM mode, we have to sim by play now, so injuries will practically be non-existant - UNLESS (gut-chrning drum-roll) we sim each game and let the computer play it out for 5 mins each period, take down the notes of Goals, Assists, period in which they scored in, penalties and injuries. I would be willing to do that, but that's a lot of games to do every day and I don't exactly have a lot of time lol, so they would have to be at the end of the day in which I could sim.

Florida will have the only skewered schedule, unless someone wants to take Florida's place as the odd team out.
FLA's schedule: VS. East conference = 24; 12 per Division. Vs. West conference = 23; 12 for Division B, 11 for Div A.

What will we do with the players on the other teams?

Well I've thought of a solution but it's long and complicated and it would change things.
In short, they would sit and be ignored as if they didn't play. Let's say for the sake of argument they're in another league, (we've defected from the NHL! lol). Those players could be offered contracts, but not without giving something in return. You have two choices, either trade a player on another team of equal trade value (via NHL11), or offer a contract and we'll treat it like an offer sheet.
I have all the details on how that would work for offer-sheeting players of other teams, but that's a few paragraphs of explanation. And i have all this info because if this sim falls through, i'm starting my own sim using NHL 11 with an exclusive group of 12 or so GM's to ensure success and I have all this organized and planned out. But i don't plan on this sim failing... Besides, this sim is basically turning into the sim i'll create anyway but with more GM's so I like this Sim better than my idea. The only knock on this league is t he lack of consistency of GM's.

yEAH, making a schedule is totally screwing with me. I just finished fixing a huge error where I accidentally had Chicago play 2 games a day for about a week and Pittsburgh took a week off...
I just finished scheduling 20 games... Now i'm going back and double-checking for more errors, so far none.

so i dont get it wat do i do i have no place in the teams You do. there's an odd number of teams, so for the sake of arguement, we'll just say one team will play two times a day. Florida will play every day, and so will every other team (instead of doing it like real life and having 1 team play a day), florida will just play a team that's already having a game that day. You'll see, I'm almost done. Just got back to my comp tonight, should be done by monday morning, and if i can't get it done before work, it'll be done monday night, given that I'm not hospitalized between that time.

ACtually new idea. I'm almost done with the sched, there's no reason we can't start simming right now. A few things first: I just got the roster DL for the NHL game. MON, are you simming games at all? do you have the most recent roster update? i haven't looked at the most recent one, but last i looked, players like Marcus Johansson and Markstrom of FLA weren't in the game, could you check if they're in the game for me? if not, we could combine player bios from The NHL News.com and Hockey's Future.com to try and replicate as close as possible. Although if we did that, we'd have to have a conference to agree on a players attributes and potential, which won't be as horrible as it sounds. HF and THN both give enough information to create a vague replica. Who knows, we'd probably be more accurate than the mouth-breathers at EA x.x
