I took over the Montreal Canadiens and elected to be just the general manager, having the AI handle the coaching requirements.

I dealt a prospect and a first rounder to the Maple Leafs to acquire Nazem Kadri to serve as my first line centre.

Despite being the highest rated centre on my roster, the AI coach slotted him in his as my fourth line centre and gave him eight minutes of ice time a game.

Stranger yet, my first line centre was Mike McCarron who rated one and a half stars. The AI coach also improbably used Max Pacioretty on the third line.

After 11 games in which McCarron posted zero goals and zero assists, he was sent to the minors when I clicked Have AI Set roster following injury. Even after this transaction, Kadri remained on the fourth line. Not long after, McCarron was back up on the big team and once again slotted into the first line.

I was unable to fire my idiotic coach (despite the team falling to nine games under .500 because of his baffling deployment of our players) and finally I just resigned out of frustration.

I took over the rebuilding New Jersey Devils and was amazed to find two 1.5 star players on their first line and Taylor Hall - much like Nazem Kadri before him, stuck on the fourth line, again receiving limited ice time.

What the hell is going on here?
