Alumni list
4 days before launch and still nothing on the added or returning alumni.
When will the alumni list be available? Usually it’s already out at this moment on previous games!
Any news on this?EA_Aljo

We aren't losing Brent Seabrook he's on the Blackhawks alumni team. This will also be the case with Shea Weber once his contract expires (He's on Predators alumni).
Update: Seabrook on Blackhawks alumni, now at an 86 overall. Also, Bryan Little made the free agents list for NHL 25s first roster, likely because he hasn't announced his retirement yet.
Please, we need to know before I start my NHL 25 re-sim of the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals. Hoping for Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Kronwall, Hudler, Franzen, Rafalski (prob on devils alumni), Stuart (prob on Sharks/Kings/Avalanche alumni), Holmstrom, Ericsson, and Filppula (assuming he's not in the game). I don't think Helm or Abdelkader will return this year. I am also hoping for Cooke, Dupuis, Scuderi, Satan (prob on Sabres/Islanders alumni), Boucher (prob on Stars alumni), and Adams. RIP Alex Goligoski, and I will CRY if Fleury doesn't make the Penguins alumni team in NHL 26.
Oh yeah, also forgot about Eaton (prob on Predators alumni), Sykora (prob Devils alumni), and Cleary. Also Maxime Talbot because if he isn't there then there would be no game 7.
I have started an alumni log because people are getting early access:
WATCH THIS YT VIDEO IT HAS ALL THE ALUMNI PLAYERS!!!!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAoNrhq65xY
Video is very fast so set the playback speed to 0.25%
SPOILER: No Bergeron, Datsyuk, Rinne :(, but yes Zetterberg, Subban, Del Zotto, Turris, Thornton, Marleau, Bondra, added Vegas Golden Knights alumni (Fleury might stay since he is on there :)), subtracted Arizona Coyotes alumni (However, every player who had Arizona as their only alumni team were moved to other teams).
Any chances we get info before launch?EA_Aljo
I did a 2007-2008 roster on NHL24 PS5. I’ll do 2010-11 this year as I did 2009-10 in NHL22. 2009 is my favorite run for sure. Hopefully we get back Datsyuk this year as he’s a Hall of Famer.
