Version 1.4 Submitted

 Version 1.4 has been submitted.

  • Additional NHLers from 1994-2020 added as draft choices. Mostly players who were undrafted in real life.
  • Arizona Coyotes, Colorado Avalanche, Columbus Blue Jackets, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, Phoenix Coyotes, Seattle Kraken, and Vegas Golden Knights added as custom teams for expansion drafts.
  • Coaches from the 1993-1994 season added. Before my initial release of this roster, I tried to assign the coaches from this season to their respective teams, but I received errors when trying to set them as head coaches for a few teams. Instead of having them assigned from the start, you'll have to manually hire them. I'll also throw in a few fun options here such as Don Cherry and other coaches of note.
  • Rebalancing of some players. Mostly various franchise players being bumped down to elite.
Do note that the recent update to HLM 21 may have buggered up how custom rosters work for expansion drafts. I've tested my 1.3 and 1.4 rosters with the recent HLM 21 update and found that expansion drafts cannot be completed because several teams will not have any unprotected players to select from in the draft. Shouldn't be a roster problem, so I'd say sit tight until the next game update fixes whatever causes this.

Version 1.3 Submitted

 Version 1.3 has been submitted and should hopefully appear in the community rosters soon. Here are the changes for this update.

  • Added over 100 additional draftable players from the 1994-2020 drafts.
  • Added some 1988-1992 NHL players to California and Kansas rosters.
  • Corrected date of birth for Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, as he appeared 10 years too early in the draft.
  • Custom teams added: Atlanta Flames, Brooklyn Americans, Cleveland Barons.
  • Improved logo for the Anaheim Mighty Ducks (original png had blank space above/below logo).
  • Reduced overall ratings for California Golden Seals and Kansas City Scouts.
  • Removed duplicate Nikolai Khabibulin goalie in created players.
  • Slightly increased New York Rangers overall rating by 1%.

EDIT: I am a fool and realized that this should've been submitted as 1.2, but oh well! I guess 1.2 just won't exist, haha.

Possibility to Set DOB Beyond 2020

 I've noticed that it is now possible to set a player's year of birth beyond 2020. This will help me make drafts more accurate and not requiring a "mega draft" to occur after 19 seasons. I'll see if I can add more notable players all the way up to this year's actual draft. Just need HLM to cooperate and not crash/freeze from the high number of created players I've made.

Agenda for Version 1.2

I am making the following changes for the next roster update.

  • Added some 1988-1992 NHL players to California and Kansas rosters.
  • Corrected date of birth for Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, as he appeared 10 years too early in the draft.
  • Improved logo for the Anaheim Mighty Ducks (original png had blank space above/below logo)
  • Reduced overall ratings for California Golden Seals and Kansas City Scouts.
  • Removed duplicate Nikolai Khabibulin goalie in created players.
  • Slightly increased New York Rangers overall rating by 1%.

Duplicate Player: Nikolai Khabibulin

 An FYI to anyone who reads this, there is a duplicate verison of Nikolai Khabibulin in the roster.

One version of Khabibulin starts with the California Golden Seals. The other, with a typo in his first name (Nokolai, curse my phone's keypad!), can be drafted and is a created skater. I would advise anyone who does not wants two Khabibulins to delete the one in the created skaters.

Draftable Player List

 It took quite a while to do this over the weekend, but here is the full list of draftable players that will be in the 1.1 update when it is approved and available on the community rosters. There may be some notable players missing, but after adding 194 players, HLM21 began to become unstable and would crash/freeze a lot when creating and saving new players, so I had to stop. If there are any notable exceptions, let me know on reddit (username is UPRC).

Note that this players appear spread out over the course of 20 seasons, roughly appearing chronologically and in the proper years starting from the 1994-1995 draft.
