I think it's time to give it some love.

My pipedream is and always will be to have full historical teams/leagues/minors/players. I do, however, understand it's a massive undertaking and it probably would take several years to get done due to how fragmented hockey history is. There is always a bit more added to the historical part every year though, so one can always dream it's going to come to fruition one day
Being able to predefine which goalies start which games would be ideal. It is nuts that you can't sim multiple games at a time without changing goalies unless you use the goalie start sliders, which are not very reliable. It's also worth mentioning that goalies don't seem to matter as much as people would like. A 2.5 star goalie and a 5 star goalie make only a minor difference to a team's winning percentage from what I've seen.
