General Manager Xtech on retirement rumors "not gonna happen anytime soon"

[@colekotzer822]

11:56 *San Hose pics a high elite goalie* Gm xTexh: “Nothing crazy in the second round here”

[@tactualone9763]

i’m glad i wasn’t the only one who caught that

[@WyattBrooks22]

I’m from Alaska pls don’t end this soon

[@12lego25]

LEGEND!

[@tristanbrendt181]

@@12lego25 yes indeed

[@luzzy2492]

I listen to your GM mode religiously, they are unlike other youtubers, don’t overthink it

[@kellymartin855]

TaxTics is good but Xtech is just abit better

[@downwithwebsterman29]

Respects to all youtubers but I like to pause it, grab a snack, and watch the lllllleeeeeegend do what only he can do: tube of the you to the max

[@vespidapollo5918]

I heard Alaska E-Girl and i will never recover.

[@dukestorm8813]

A good comparable for Luke roach or the roacher is Kirby dach , both big guys who came into the NHL in there draft year

[@grimmdodhest6524]

This is very much my favourite thing to listen to or watch while at work. My heart gets super excited every time I see this on my feed! Keep up the good work!

[@electrofox88]

I'm relatively new to your franchise mode and I love playing my own franchise modes. I think it's impossible to make everyone happy but your sense of humor is what keeps me around! Like a lot of people, I agree with a custom league like Shanghai but maybe European? I think that would be a lot of fun and so is an underdog story. I've been watching the storm bears in my free time so I'm all in with whatever you decide to do! You're a llllllegend for all the work you put into this!!

[@elietanguay9432]

I love how committed you are to this franchise mode with the lists of drafted players, of games against Newfoundland, and just the fact that you upload videos pretty often. You look like you are having a blast and personally, I do too. Keep it up!

[@supermadhawk100]

I love this series and by watching them I pick up ideas how to make my franchise better and now because of watching your videos I kind of know how to get a good chemistry going.

[@JayJayLapz]

Anyone else noticed Blake Wheeler at a 79 asking for 7 mil for 2 years 😂

[@flame9xyt742]

He’ll jump up to like an 85

[@LyonHall1]

its stuff like that makes the games challenging later on when you have 82-83 players asking like 8-9 million

[@kellymartin855]

And Bobrovsky on Columbus for 700k at a 87... it from from whenever his last trade deadline video was

[@VaukieVideos]

Love the Franchise Mode. Let´s go Alaska! Gives me always more reason to play my own franchise mode series. So keep the episodes coming! :)

[@rileystacey_sullivan5675]

I love this gm mode series i look forward to every new video i try to imitate your work but give up whe i play pbut this this is one of the most fun

[@mikeyyyy7896]

What you could do for other vids are like 10 to 15 min videos, for example, what if every player when to the team they were drafted too, or creating the nhl Olympic teams and facing them off in a franchise mode. Or a team of all the series legends We’ve had

[@FloogenBoggin]

I’ve always been interested in Franchise mode for NHL trying to figure out how I can play it better and smarter and this series helps out a lot!

[@jeffw6666]

Bro I'm laid off right now and this series is usually a brightness to my day. So thank u i usually watch while doing my own gm mode.

[@rg.7022]

oh shit thats me! also good choice on Blouin, getting someone NHL ready now is so better than taking the chance on someone who may or may not pan out

[@kieranmcglynn8333]

Kieffer will be a legend😶

[@waterdrinker_]

You're the highlander of nhl youtuber I've watched since I was young, there can only be one. By far the most entertaining. That said, get Alaska the cup and go into a crazy xTech Hockey League with some generational LEGENDS like you've done before. Honestly, the more wild the concept is, the more viewers it brings in and I want to see you succeed because you deserve it

[@andysaunders3900]

Please don't stop doing these! I look forward to them every week.

[@joebaker392]

I’m glad you came down on the term for Wennberg. 3 years makes a lot more sense as he always seems to decline pretty hard. But I’m excited with how this team is setting up! With a good deadline move or two, we could see a deep playoff run! Let’s go boys!

[@thomasracine3775]

I love the serie keep going the amazing work I’m from Quebec and enjoy every episode!!

[@micahtangjerd5870]

This is currently my favorite KZbin series, can’t wait until the ice eagles beat out the growlers in the Stanley Cup Final!!

[@zackkranz4494]

Love watching your videos and adding comments to include us the fans creep up the grate work u da best

[@Pzyk0s]

I think you should do this series and when its over start to think about a xthl

[@tactualone9763]

agreed.

[@KellsTV97]

LOVE franchise vids! Big Alaska fan here from Georgia!! #goiceeagles

[@AKmufasa]

Great draft and great free agency time to bring the CUP TO ALASKA !! Also can you look at the devils I'm curious how they look please and thank you 😊

[@Eli390]

Love this series

[@benthatcher32]

I absolutely love the custom franchise modes, when you had the storm bears and Shanghai dragons franchise modes as well as this one, I would absolutely Netflix style binge these series’s. I just never got into the franchise modes with the actual current nhl teams

[@parkerbloom9032]

I actually enjoy your content alot since I found your channel. maybe include more in game simulations?

[@slinc5992]

Yessss to the xtech hockey league , I've created 6 teams and it's taken days.. so I understand the work into 30 teams

[@noahjassmann7557]

Xtech, I’m loving the Alaska GM mode, but maybe for your next series you should do a be a pro! Definitely something I’d watch, and would give your series a change of pace.

[@roccomarino24]

I’ve been waiting for this vid

[@liam0760]

I love this franchise never stop please

[@luclefebvre4209]

I love the intro!

[@TheTerryance]

I feel like the Shanghai series was over before it started. Starting a completely custom GM mode that late in NHL 20's life span may have resulted in viewers (and our boi xTech) maybe already being somewhat burnt out and ready for the next year. I'd love to see another custom series but honestly if it's not in the first 5-6 months of NHL 21's lifespan I'd wait until 22 comes out. That's a LOT of work.

[@TheTerryance]

At about the 12:30 mark there was a T. Webster. That's wild for me

[@noahcurtis3334]

The custom league was awesome. I even did one myself after you in nhl 20

[@derrickbruce2989]

your 4 guys’ overalls dropped because you traded someone and it drops their overalls. Oh yeah, i’ve been meaning to comment but i’ve been watching your videos when i found the Stormbears and i’ve been watching your franchise modes ever since, although i don’t comment a lot i watch every franchise mode you drop because it brings me in. been seeing you talking about it and the comments about not enjoying your series but i’ve been here since the stormbears way back when. i stand by your content and always watch when it pops up on my youtube feed. Keep up the great work!

[@joelcrumrine6182]

If you are not in a playoff position by the trade deadline, i would look to move wennberg. He has gone down to an 83 in the offseason a couple times now. fortunately not this season but that would be a bad contract to have if he does drop in rating. having that +5 i think helps to keep him at his high overall.

[@spbaker9752]

I would love another XTHL but I tried to make my own at the start of quarantine last year and only got 16/31 teams done. I know its a shit ton of work and I eventually just made a GM mode with half new teams

[@iamagamer7011]

Xtech I have been watching since Japan and I think you could bring you own style to other games that are simulation style hockey games

[@1989mrfootball]

I think part of the problem with these franchise modes is that it starts off great. Get some solid free agents to hold the team over until the teams first several draft prospects get good then you trade those free agents for 1st round picks. Once those first round picks get good then you trade the previous ones and the cycle repeats itself making it somewhat unrealistic. The last couple of episodes it has been mentioned that you’re going to trade the OG Biggie Schmaltz. But he, Greenway, and Kapanen make a perfect 3rd line. Instead of doing the cycle, maybe use your prospects to get a rental at the deadline to stick on your bottom 6, get some scoring there, and go for it every year. I think that’s why Seattle and Quebec did so well. You kept your OG’s and built around them. You have a pretty perfect top 9 and your talking about blowing it up already when it’s only the 1st real year that Wright and the muffin man is decent. I’ll watch regardless though.

[@owenfraser7792]

You are a Legend

[@elizabethsilvy4707]

Dis is the best

[@jasoncole5192]

I have 3 Mcmuffins on my Seattle franchise. William, Dawson and Greg. Loce the Mcmuffin family hockey tree. 🤣🤣🤣

[@purewrestlingfansite]

Hey Xtech I’m looking at doing a complete relocation to Canada NHL minus the Original 6 teams (I can’t see any version of the NHL not having those teams). Would be interested in your thoughts on it

[@PersonGxng]

This is a scout on the Alaska ice eagles and I was looking at the draft next year and there are sum studs, I think you should try getting a top 10 pick, It may be hard to get it because we are playoff contenders as If stanly cup contenders. Just letting you know.

[@vincent6718]

You should bring back twitter where fans get involved with Twitter. Those were some great moments in former franchise modes

[@SoftLawnmower]

Hi xtech I love your videos but I really like the all trades accepted for the all trades accepted can you do the Detroit redwings and see if you can make them even worse xD

[@yngflk5347]

Turakov looking like a steal for the sharks 🤕

[@maxshredington]

For devolving people like roach write and egg McMuffin you have to make sure their morale stays high so if there’s a better coach or anything that can help them grow faster.

[@mxlo8504]

after the Alaska Ice Eagles franchise mode you should try doing a player career mode

[@zachking6577]

Bro I’m from Newfoundland and I’m a huge fan!

[@brandon2974]

you could do a franchise mode where you have to trade for every first round pick in the 2021 NHL draft, and build around guys like Power, Hughes, Clarke, and others

[@UmbraSerpents]

its reallllllllly about time they add a change to gm mode, or just the game in general

[@Kingwon69]

I don't know if this is news, but the reverse retro jerseys are in franchise mode!

[@Sam-id1lw]

after the letang contract is over you should think about getting a 84-86 two way defensman that is cheap to sit on the penalty kill and sit on the second pair (maybe on the powerplay) and just eat up minutes. but also you could use soderstrom. I just think since soderstrom is so good for chemistry with Hedman that u would not want to put him on the second pair. Also as an example i got dmitry Orlov on a three million dollar deal and he leads the nhl in ice-time every year ( in my franchise mode). I im going to say with your team now if you do decide to get another defensemen after letang do not put him on the powerplay because is would take away ice time from your youngsters like u soderstrom. U could also try bringing up steenbergen because miletec is not great for chemistry

[@lucaschampion4167]

I love theses videos

[@liam0760]

The 1st overall pick is pronounced Inglis (Ing- Glis)

[@4thLinePlugs242]

You should do a Be a Pro series, that would be very fun to watch

[@joshuagrant3902]

Honestly what ever you do for the future of the channel content wis I’m fine with( I’m not here for the game, I like what you put out)

[@yngflk5347]

Real shit bro I’ve been watching him for 3 years at this point

[@brooksbeach8148]

11:55. No more great players Me: UM..... HIGH ELITE

[@dmv2ks]

Considering you need a solid backup goalie, how about Phoenix Copley? He's from North Pole, Alaska, and he wears a sick North Pole themed mask (when he's on the NHL roster). NHL 21 also overrated him a little bit (as a Caps fan), and he's usually a solid backup.

[@jonathonrobinson7646]

Hey @Xtech, when are we getting a GM WEEK?

[@nevercarednine1831]

Turakov to see the sharks, high elite that’s pretty rough

[@youngant7987]

Lol, you said there was nothing crazy when San Jose picked up a 64 High Elite Goalie.

[@ddager20]

To make people more invested you could stream while recording the video so that your viewers can help make choices. This is what 2bc does

[@milehightrickshots5216]

i like this idea

I’ll put up insane numbers along side Hedman. Mark. My. Words. You won’t regret bringing me in

[@rayrichard1377]

You should start the XTHL in the beginning of NHL 22.

[@loganmitchell1280]

Could you do a story line with be a pro? That could be interesting play as agent C? Or simulate his career

[@LurchyScott]

I never left a comment on the last one regarding my opinion on the franchise series so I figured I would here. I personally am not enjoying it BUT it's not because I don't enjoy your franchise videos. Your Nordiques series was legendary and I enjoyed it a lot. I didn't enjoy the Shanghai one as I prefer seeing actual NHLers mixed up with created players instead of what you were doing with that. I also think with the Nordiques franchise you had a lot more story lines going on with it that made it interesting. The rivalries in this one and the last one don't feel like rivalries. I'm not sure how to put it. I think for the next one if you do it you should spice it up by adding NHL legends into the mix (in free agency) and maybe doing a fantasy draft instead.

[@JordanC2004]

Theo Sestito is the next James Vegetti

When Xtech mentions your comment in his video 🥺👉🏻👈🏻

[@jeremyhubbard2908]

I would love to see a Franchise Mode where you give every team a player from their past. It could be a forward, defenseman or goalie who is retired and put them a high franchise or high elite and start as an expansion team and try to win the cup
