Team Manager
You can draft, trade, and create players to construct the perfect
team. Just select Team Manager from the Options menu or the
League Home menu.
View/Edit Rosters Look at the lineup for every team, and move
players from one team to another. This is the quickest and most
direct way to move players from team to team, but it's not as
realistic as conducting trades.
Edit Lines Decide which players will skate on which lines for any
team in the NHL.
Team Strategy Decide how each team will react to game
situations and handle scoring opportunities.
Trade Players Conduct player trades from one team to another.
Other teams can accept or reject your trade offers, depending
on how sweet you make the deal. Note that this option is only
available in Season Mode.
Create Player Build a new player from the ice up. This might
be the best chance you'll ever have to see your name on an
NHL roster.
