NHL 26 might be good for alumni fans

I like the new alumni players. Finally we get Pekka Rinne to Nashville Predators alumni team, also Sergei Fedorov and Craig Anderson are very good add. When EA Sports will add Anderson at the new alumni player to the NHL 26, finally we get  good goalie to the Senators alumni team. Hopefully  Anderson and Rinne additions mean, that EA Sports remove Anton Forsberg and Juuse Saros from alumni teams.

I would have liked to see players, like Mikko Koivu, Kimmo Timonen, Miikka Kiprusoff, Tuukka Rask Paul Kariya, Ryan Getzlaf, Tim Thomas, Scott Stevens, Marian Gaborik, Pavel Bure, Nikolai Khabibulin, Mariusz Czerkawski,   in the new alumni players.

UPDATE TO PREVIOUS POST: I have searched over the alumni rosters and it looks like those are the only new players coming in NHL 26. I am extremely dissapointed that EA replaced Fleury on the Golden Knights alumni with Adin Hill. EA shouldn't have problems with licensing issues, as this post confirms Fleury is an NHLAA member. I am hoping that Fleury gets added in an upcoming update or patch to the game. I also recommend adding Max Talbot as well, those two have been friends for years and this post confirms Talbot's membership. I also enjoy doing Ovechkin vs Crosby sims and I am absolutely FRUSTRATED by Washington's goal horn, and I don't understand why it even made NHL 26. Someone should also fix that immediately and e-mail the capitals to ask them for a recording.

Thanks.

I would like to see Paul Kariya in Anaheim Ducks alumni team. Paul Kariya and Teemu Selänne  were legendary duo in Anaheim. Hopefully we get Kariya to the game in future.

I'm pretty sure Kariya isn't in the NHL Alumni Association, so the best EA could do is reach out to Kariya's agent or something and work out a deal.

Alumni players and alumni teams are one of the best things EA Sports has done to the game. But one thing annoys me, active players on alumni teams. For example, EA Sports had added Juuse Saros to the Nashville Predators alumni team and Mikael Grandlund and Nino Niederreiter to the Minnesota Wild alumni team. When EA Sports added Pekka Rinne to the Nashville alumni team, they removed Saros from the alumni team, but Granlund and Niederreiter are still found from Minnesota Wild alumni team. When we watch players, which have playing in Wild, for example Mikko Koivu and Marián Gáborík are players, whose place would be in Minnesota Wild alumni team. For example goalie Zac Bierk has played only one game in Wild and still he is in Wild alumni team.
