NHL 25 CUSTOM ROSTER BREAKDOWN

[@TacTixHD]

Hope you guys have fun with this roster! A LOT of work went into it! And don't forget to subscribe to Vasy for future updates: www.youtube.com/@VasyRosterUpdates

[@KevinBrevin]

DID YOU DO WHAT I THINK YOU DID? YOU USED SOME OF THE 2BCPRODUCTIONS2BC PLAYERS!

[@KevinBrevin]

Second thing. You guys are massively underestimating Lundell and Luostarinen. You have the latter at high top 9 which will make him drop super fast even at only 26 years old. Lundell should also be at least 84 overall and High top 6 or low elite.

[@Christophernbh]

4:50, I've been a Preds fan since Pekka Rinne came into the league; I don't think I've ever seen Filip Forsberg lay a big hit his entire decade long NHL career. Sniper or even a Two-way forward with high shot frequency would suit him much better.

[@bigdawggkev]

Sniper for sure

[@jordanneufeld3317]

Super valid, I think where they decided pwf was due to his 128 hits last year which is in similar category as players like slafkovsky, svech, meier etc. Just to name as few. But I agree, sniper most likely more fitting.

[@frogfire3036]

Ea should just hire you guys for rosters

[@dvnd17]

I’m a habs fan and Demidov should definitely be a playmaker over a sniper, he has an ok shot and scores highlight reel goals cause of his hands, but his vision and passing are really what makes him as good as he his

[@bigdawggkev]

I'd put Carter Verhaeghe as a SNP rather than a PWF but maybe that's just me. Love the content!

[@FlameHawk100]

Quick tip when setting up your Franchise , when setting the prospect quality and draft quality to low be prepared to reload the save to help remove the cpu generated superstar that get pushed into the first round doing this helps a lot in the first year

[@TacTixHD]

Thats a good idea!

[@busorenkin55]

4:41 i would argue Carter Verhaeghe is a Sniper and Evan Rodrigues is a Two Way Forward and If we want to get weird you could make Sam Bennett a Grinder.

[@TheDraftAttack]

This is music to my ears! It's great that you were able to put your input and "two (minds) is better than one". I am ashamed that I didn't download your recent rosters of the NextGen era as even tho I had the X-factor version I chose to only install the XboxOne version since the people I play with didnt have NextGen, and I didn't want two of the same game installed (SSD and HDD). Looking forward to getting back into franchise mode and use your combined roster! Cheers to both!

The Red wings are in a bit of a tough contract spot right now. They already have 50 contracts in game and sooner or later Shai Buium and Carter gyander are going to have to be added

[@connormcdraisaitl9729]

just a subtle tweak, i know it probably won’t even move him up an overall but mcdavid 93 wrist shot accuracy? i find that kinda crazy after he has gone 4/4 in the shooting comp this last years and 4/4 twice two years ago and has had 60 goals before. doesn’t mean much probably crying about it but just watching mcdavid all the time that’s something i noticed

[@bigcityFDO]

Just out of curiosity, did you edit Josh Doan OVR and potential?? Thought EA underrated him pretty bad. I would think maybe 80 poss an 81 with a med T6? Also would do you know any good roster creators for the PS? Thank you and Vasy for all your hard work!!

[@Scirollo]

Stutzle and Jack Hughes have put up similar numbers, Stutzle on a worse team, somehow Hughes 93 and Stutzle 88, if you're going to have Hughes at 93, then Stutzle should be 90 at the minimum

[@SnipeCity]

Hey Cole! I simmed my first year and noticed a lot of the created prospects (Buium, Augustine, Shurin, etc), all go into FA, and I gotta sign them all and trade them back to their original team. Idk if it’s because of the roster size or maybe a glitch for my specific franchise. Great roster so far though

A bit of turnover there but Florida at 85 OVR is a surprise with Caps and Isles at 86 and Chicago only one less than the champs at 84.

Is it just me but seeing McDavid play 82 games and having less than 110 points just doesn't feel right. I almost feel like he should be 99 overall, Would like him to keep that pace he's been on getting 120 points minimum. Big reason I stopped playing franchise mode is often seeing McDavid not having his normal crazy seasons. Sometimes he's only a point per game in sims. then a random player like Bertuzzi has the same amount of points

[@go_goob9595]

Ilya Protas should be a power forward and not a playmaker

[@TacTixHD]

Scouting report: Without foot speed as an advantage, Protas developed a refined playmaking and off-puck game. He provides short support for his teammate, scans in advance, and instantly moves the puck upon reception. If he’s not connecting with one-touch or redirection passes, he slows to draw the defence before slipping the puck through. Also I've watched him play one game so far and he wasn't throwing many hits. But will update if he starts playing harder game!

[@go_goob9595]

@@TacTixHD I guess we have a different idea of a power forward, because I see them as net drivers and big guys who are close to the net who throw hits every now and then. But if you don't see it like that then TWF is the next best thing because the Protas Brothers are very good on both ends of the ice
