1980 MARCH UPDATE

I've played through until March, and the Whalers are doing pretty good in their first NHL season. We're sitting 2nd in the division behind the Canadiens, and have a goal difference of exactly zero. So we're not a bad team by any means. Mike Rogers is among the league leaders in points and assists.

I've made some minor transactions, but nothing earth shattering. This good performance is a bit of smoke and mirrors, as some of our best players are old and going to retire, and others will drop off in the recalc either next year or soon after.

The AI is pretty stubborn when it comes to my trade offers, but the challenge is welcome as I don't want to dominate too easily. As I approach the trade deadline on March 10, I wanted to take a bit of a break and see what deals I could make, if any.

In other news, Gordie Howe is having a great season, and did hit 800 goals in January (against the Red Wings which was fitting). So he'll surpass his final real-life totals which is pretty cool. Give Gretzky a more ambitious target to reach.
