Other players who are more in the air such as Weber or Klefbom are still listed as their original overall in the mid-80’s.

Note : Some players who are retired but still cost against the salary such as Seabrook or Shaw are listed as 70 OVR. To see more on this, watch my video about the previous roster update here. If you’re on PS4, you can download this roster from “Roster Sharing” instead of having to make these changes yourself! Just search for the roster named “Cap Compliant” from Data782. OR, see how the AI GM deals with those contracts down the road.

By doing this, we can get a real challenge as the GM of Toronto, Vegas, etc. The realism will never be perfect, but I would prefer to change one season of some players so that the team as a whole is not given a break for 5+.

So, without LTIR being a feature in NHL 22, below is my cheat sheet to what salaries you can alter BEFORE you start up your Franchise Mode to keep the AI from changing up the league. Don’t even get me started on how wild the AI changes for the Lightning were in NHL 21. The reality is, however, that the Maple Leafs are not cap compliant when everyone is healthy and the AI doesn’t know how to reconcile that. On Toronto, for example, things are so tight that salaries for all players such as Auston Matthews ($11.640M > $11.355M) and John Tavares ($11M > $10.725M) are altered so as to make the team cap compliant. If you’re like me, starting up a Franchise Mode in NHL 22 can be a bit frustrating if you want as much realism as possible since the LTIR isn’t taken into account. Previously known as Dynasty Mode and Be A GM Mode, Franchise Mode allows you to make trades, sign contracts, scout prospects, and ultimately build a lineup of players that you hope will become a dynasty. If you enjoy being an Armchair GM, chances are you enjoy Franchise Mode on NHL-series games.
