Hope you guys are excited for this series!! What players should I try and go after to build this core around??

[@Mcoaviation]

Idk I have not watched

[@killerhockey1975]

Just don’t always trade for the guys u always do get some new players involved

[@TacTixHD]

Ya no Crosby, Ovi, Kane this year is a rule I'm doing!@@killerhockey1975

[@DrewNye]

I think Nick Suzuki would be cool to get. Hasn't been a player I've saw on your team in a while.

[@jamendailey7372]

owen power

[@kevinslanicky2854]

I love tactix's logic, a water dragon that breaths fire

[@TacTixHD]

LMAO im trying to make it work okay 😅

[@KrillTheThrill97]

Thank you for the Minnesota teaser, been waiting on that one for a while. I can’t get enough of these franchise modes 🤣

[@francissmart7722]

I’m bored to tears since I broke my leg and this series is a blessing

[@TacTixHD]

Sorry to hear that man! Hope you make a quick recovery :)

[@Username-1289]

Hope your leg heals fast and well.

[@ChicagoBlackhawksfan]

I feel you bro

[@Drolkrad1725]

Hope you get better! Tough break

[@12lego25]

I am so excited to watch series, TacTix you are the man I have watched you and subscribed since the 2019 cup or busts

[@TacTixHD]

Thanks so much! I gotta bring those back :)

[@iluvgeese]

SO EXCITED FOR THE MINNESOTA FRANCHISE, LETS GO TACTIX!

[@canuckadian4733]

Beautiful logo, colors and jerseys!!! Love the color combo and very excited to watch this series.

[@codymachado]

Utah copperheads with jazz inspired color ways is a lot better. This is like a fortnite team a 10 year old would make, no offense

[@marshfellowman]

I'm usually not too into hockey but you've got my attention using the color scheme of the charlotte hornets

[@loganjensen7056]

0:25 thanks papi ❤️

[@rollinmdma]

Music brought me back to 2016 lmao. This series is gonna be great!

[@jpbfxtrading2252]

Nice job on the logo and city connection👌

[@tylersees6665]

Thank God you're doing mn.😂 I've ben waiting for so long

[@johncastro2148]

New series, goated

[@xonexx836]

Let's go! Can't wait for the next episode.

[@mousey_2]

Questions when drafting the team. Is it best not to draft the best player available on each team? Salary cap wise? And is it best the draft players that have multiple years of control?

[@DaveJames22]

Real talk, as a guy who works in SLC and has season tickets to the Grizz…there is absolutely no fanbase for an NHL team here. Its going to end up being a tourist attraction similar to Vegas and be an added reason for why we should host the winter olympics. Thats great and all, but I wouldn’t want the NHL team to turn into the Jazz where we can barely fill half an arena. Id rather see Saskatchewan and Houston get a team. At least there, you are going to have diehard fanbases.

[@dillydilly6987]

Or the grizz are absolutely no entertainment bud. Who wants to watch a 3rd string team to the avs? I'd absolutely love to see hockey in Utah.

[@mikecratty6791]

Yessir! This rocks

[@trailerparkboyz245]

Ahh, Sat Lake City, what a beautiful city that is, the only problem with it is that I can’t find a place to get a ber

[@EricAndrewDodson]

Man, when i did mine last night for the first time. I somehow missed all the jersey stuff, so although i picked a logo, they aren't on my jerseys. Lol

[@jarljonah4577]

Thank you for the wild next man!

[@abesbaby2rollins887]

I’m gonna need another series with the Salt Lake City Coyotes!

[@scottstewart3576]

When I do an expansion draft, I limit myself to three 80+ players...four at the most. Going to do one later today.

[@LoafaBreadly]

I need to see you do a Colorado Franchise! Take the core they have now, and the very limited draft + prospect capital in their backlog, and complete the dynasty dream.

[@michaelrichards4152]

Kakko is an absolute beast in my expansion franchise. Someone gave him low or medium elite 😮

[@DrewNye]

This series is gonna be epic

[@crepeiis]

I did one recently, Was fifth in my division and traded for Nick Schmalzt at the deadline, we got in and he lead the team and was scoring like crazy, but we lost in G7 overtime to the eventual champs. We got the Calder cup tho

[@Canada_Goosen]

As someone from Utah, LETS GO BABY

[@ONEbadSTEVE]

The Ridly Greig pick 😂😂💀💀💀

[@21undertaker21able]

No way I just started salt lake city franchise yesterday! Also super pumped for this!

[@TacTixHD]

Race to a Cup? haha

[@Mcoaviation]

@@TacTixHDno

[@rawtwenty976]

LETS GOOOOO new franchise tiime

[@shanielcabral]

Sick color combo

[@codymachado]

I put a ton of work into the ahl team too, I actually go in and play the ahl playoff games get my young players more points

[@BrandonKang23]

Do you know if you’re allowed to make changes to your jerseys/arena after making it through the expansion mode tab ?

[@ryancollier9059]

you should do a franchise with an expansion team but you don’t actually use that team so you’ll have to protect players and stuff

[@nothankyouever]

Huge fan, been following you for years. Your videos actually make the game fun for me. Question though, why don't you look at line fits when you select players? With the coaches having play styles, why not try to figure out who fits where that way, as well as getting solid potential?

[@evanford9514]

some of those contracts are really bad gonna have to try and get rid of some of them

[@TheBigRig19]

I did a relocation from the Yotes to SLC, made the SLC Rockies

[@RangeRover-er5lv]

What roster do u use? I know u have a custom roster but do u update it aftermath trade?

[@Bonahr93]

10 years please?

[@rolieg81]

Houston Coyotes led by Austin Mathews and Clayton Keller!

[@SnipeNcelly88]

Yes

[@rcproductions3956]

Tactix you should try doing a season sim with the cards you get from topps skate it’s a virtual card game with packs that give random players

[@BuffaloFalcon]

At least it's an expansion and not a relocation of the Yotes

[@KolbyEllis]

This is going to be a great franchise

[@TacTixHD]

Thanks Kolby! I hope so too :)

[@daltongraham3809]

Make Ridley greig captain He sims so well and will turn into a 87 overall in 2 years

[@freemaisen]

You did the grizzlies dirty

[@nickp8827]

Shoulda named them the Salt Like City Snipes

[@lukeperry1689]

Hype, but jerseys leave a ton to be desired 😊

[@larryt8694]

Utah Ice Dragons.

[@oisinholz]

Is this the default roster? Or a custom roster?

[@ottokarjalainen8971]

🔥🔥🔥

[@devandubnyk1761]

How come you bump the generated prospects from low to high after 4 seasons?

[@bipity-bob]

maybe try incorporating some orange into the scheme

[@Mcoaviation]

Yay

[@jrdvisuals9753]

You should keep injuries on , there not as Frequent as prior years

[@starwarsryguysoko8367]

Tactix when can you do an islanders franchise

[@killerhockey1975]

Build around celebrini

[@TacTixHD]

Hopefully I can get him! Haven't got him once this year I don't think

[@Leafs888]

Can you please do a Penguins franchise mode at some point

[@RelaxingGhost]

Holy did ea finally change that shitty green. The blue looks great

[@BuffaloFalcon]

Trevor Lewis Only player currently from salt lake

[@graysonfehr4809]

you’re basically Karl Malone!

[@TheWezbotron]

MAF has a NMC so the game auto protects him. In reality MAF probably waives

[@loganbrunet3745]

I honestly wish I could use your rosters but I have PlayStation 5 and can’t download it

[@Joegooz11]

Bro same. It's so sad

[@mousey_2]

Do you play with salary cap on or off?

[@TacTixHD]

Always on! Too easy otherwise

Your AHL team should be the Provo Morons, it's in the same state.

[@Mcdangle-zn7td]

Not Boqvist from cbj

[@TacTixHD]

Ya that was one I made wrong pick. Maybe I can make a trade haha

[@ultimatebandwagoner8883]

i’m just gonna say there’s no way calgary leaves wolf unprotected, i think you taking him is really unrealistic

Do you like dragons?

Ya they're dope haha

@@TacTixHD you should try dragon DEEZ NUTZ.... Nevermind

[@owenposer6720]

LETS GOOOO I made my Salt Lake City team the Peaks, cause of the mountain and used colorados old logo but tried making it look different.

[@codymachado]

That's a decent name imo

[@owenposer6720]

@@codymachado ChatGPT lol. Didn’t know what else to make it, that would fit with the nhl 24 logos. It’d be nice if you could import your own images

[@dylanbiddiscombe6735]

How didn’t you take boqvist over peeke

[@TacTixHD]

That's a good point! Somehow my eyes just glazed over him haha

[@Cedisdead]

Really hope you don't trade away all the players and trades for the first overall pick like you used to. Hope we can get some realism in this.

[@Gcrazy91]

Never gonna do the ducks

[@TacTixHD]

Might have something special planned for Ducks haha

[@jpc3471]

Islanders franchise

[@dvotzmusiccompilationsandc5647]

I'm not a fan of a lot of the ratings. I'd take laf over M. Pettersson any day but for some reason he's rated lower. And I don't mean for potential but how they are right now I'd still take laf. Then again I am biased bc I prefer offensive defensemen over defensive defenseman but still I think laf is way better. Also I am an isles fan too.

[@dvotzmusiccompilationsandc5647]

I'd also take gustafsson over pettersson and he's 4 below him.

[@Cedisdead]

What do you have against Pettersson? He is Penguins best overall dman.

[@redbullsauberpetronas]

Why didn't you make the AHL team the Utah Grizzlies?

[@TacTixHD]

They already exist haha. I assume they'd become our ECHL team

[@redbullsauberpetronas]

@@TacTixHD they have the ECHL logos in create a team and Colorado's promoted from ECHL to AHL so just assumed that'd be the way to go lol

[@codymachado]

​@@redbullsauberpetronasexactly, that's what I've done in the past with expansion teams, either award a new ahl team to a city or promote an echl team. For me yeah I promoted the grizzlies and made the Utah Grizzlies with correct arena etc. Realism and small details like that are key for me. For my Houston expansion I made an ahl team for Austin.

[@redbullsauberpetronas]

@@codymachado uh aren't the Texas Stars already in Austin?

[@XtherealowenX]

Seattle shouldn't be exempt and Vegas shouldn't have been with Seattle

[@milan99cz]

Low Elite 80 ovr G for 4.5 mil? That's not the best value

[@nickmattio6110]

Year three of asking for islanders

[@codymachado]

Utah copperheads is a 10x better name

[@Mazkawaa]

Ughhh the unrealistic expansion drafts are sooo annoying, too easy to make a an overpowered team if you just take any of the players available.

[@codymachado]

Yeah bro I'm sorry but this whole dragon thing ain't it! Might possibly be the worst colorway I've ever seen. My utah expansion team is a lot better. This makes me hurt cause it coulda been a good series, but that team name and colors ain't it

[@hallsyyyyy1876]

The franchise will still be good let’s be real team name isn’t that important

[@uncurledtiger9116]

Waiting for the blues rebuild @tacTixHD

[@jameszero8816]

Salt lake city yes!!!!!? Dragons...no

[@seanmcnally4818]

Agreed. Elks or Bighorns would be better, in my opinion.
