Thanks for the continued interest in this. I will get to the Flames, Flyers and the guys listed when I have a bit more time but I have time to do a quick update on Harry York right now.
HARRY YORK
York's numbers compare pretty closely with his real life totals. He played 273 NHL games in the sim - all with St Louis, but scored just 15 goals and 51 points. In real life he had 29 goals and 75 points in 244 games.
The York of this sim joined the Blues as a 22 year old in 1996-97 and enjoyed the best season of his career, scoring 6 goals and 18 points in 75 games. The following year he had a serious cut to his ear and missed some time, playing in just 45 games while scoring only 1 goal. He would play 74 games the following season (3-5-8) but only 58 in what would be his final full season with St Louis in 1999-00, scoring 5 goals and 14 points.
He started the 2000-01 campaign with the Blues but after registering just 4 points (all assists) in 21 games he was put on waivers by the Blues. York signed with Edmonton but the Oilers assigned him to Hamilton of the AHL where he had 17 points in 37 games. He would end his career in the AHL by spending 2 more seasons with the Bulldogs. He was not resigned after the 02-03 campaign and became a free agent, however York would not get signed anywhere and his career came to an end.
