No idea if this has been requested already, but I wish we could have player position specific visual settings in EASHL. That way you wouldn't need to change things around when switching to the goalie position, for instance.
You can set your camera for your skater...and for your goalie

You're correct on that.
I thought he was asking for that option per position. I dont play the same camera as a winger that I do as a center, which isnt the same camera i use for defense. I would like that custom option as a feature.

1) Revamp scouting and add staff hirings for Franchise Mode! Scouting as it is right now doesn't make much sense. Here are my suggestions for this facet of the game mode:
- Allow us to scout individual players, and pin unlimited amount of players instead of just five, as we see fit
- Being able to hire scouts (you implemented this in FIFA for crying out loud, why can't you carry it over to the NHL series?)
- Tying in with the previous points: ALLOCATED STAFF BUDGETS!; Being able to hire coaches and a couple of assistants
- Hire Assistant Manager
- Assistant manager recommends players to bring up to the NHL for AHL, and from ECHL to AHL
- Hire Trainer
2) Draft: Current system is OK, just needs minor teaks.
- View point totals for the current draft season in Juniors/European leagues and USA
- Add US NTDP prospects for at least first 2-3 first draft years, not just the first
- Acquire NCAA Collegiate License if possible
- SCOUT PROJECTION, not based solely on potential and league interest. Player potential should scale according to their performance in juniors/Europe (see point #1 in this section)
- WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT SCOUTING!
3) Relocation/Expansion:
- Add ability to add expansion teams and re-align the league according to new teams entering the NHL
- Customization is pretty good in NHL 17, but I would love for you to give us the ability to create our own mascots that are compatible with new team's logo
- Expansion draft, need I say more? (This may be a bit too complex, but observe how it works out for Vegas before you implement anything like this in the new game)
- Relocation of AHL/ECHL affiliate clubs is a must. If expansion team is created, a partnership can be set up for the first 1-2 seasons until a suitable nearby location for your AHL affiliate has been found, or give us the ability for our clubs to share arenas (already in 17 to an extent with certain NHL/AHL clubs)
4) Roster Management:
- Add ability to sign prospects at any point throughout the season. The catch: if the prospect accepts the contract offer, he cannot join your team until the offseason (set date, E.G. July 8-10 next or current year depending on when in the season he is signed to an ELC)
- Edit lines option available for our ECHL affiliate!
- Set strategies for our ECHL affiliate
- View Stats for our ECHL affiliate
5) Player development matrix:
- Development is scaled based on individual and team performance; Team boosts are given solely based on teamplay rating. Weighted rating scale should be applied here
- The point above applies to AHL and ECHL prospects, as well as unsigned prospects in the minors
- Temporary boosts to attributes based on style of play. Example: if a player reaches a 10 game consecutive point streak mark, apply a 5 game boost to offensive/playmaking/puck handling attributes based on playstyle. If at any point during this 5 game boost period, the said player fails to produce a single point, the boost is negated.
- Port the system from NHL 17 be a pro mode for player development and allow us to view detailed progress reports on players' progress
6) Trading and Player Deals
- Conditional picks added to trade logic
- Ability to trade UFA's on draft day to teams who can take on their salary and compensate with appropriate PICKS based on player value
- Ability to bring in players from top European leagues, especially unknowns and prospects who are producing well overseas.
- When conducting the trade, it would be useful to see a graph representing player skill in individual facets of the game, like it used to be in NHL 13/14
7) Contracts:
- Give us the ability to set up structured deals, and add player bonuses to the contract
- Designate a player with a NTC (No Trade Clause) during contract negotiations
- Tying in with the point above, persuade a player to waive said NTC if the GM believes this action would help the team right now
8) Be a Pro
- Let us play in European elite leagues (ALA Auston Matthews) if we want prior to draft year
- Coach pep talk on the bench
- Ability to use GAMEFACE feature...for some strange reason, NHL games have ALWAYS lacked this feature.
9) General improvements:
- Add animations for certain promotions. For example, if puck giveaway is selected, your star player would be seen up against the glass tossing the pack over the barrier to a fan.
- Tunnel animations pregame
- Coach pep talk pregame for important/division rival/playoff matchups
- ADD REAL COACHES!!! I WANT TO SEE MIKE BABCOCK BEHIND THE BENCH IN TORONTO, LINDY RUFF IN DALLAS, JEFF BLASHILL IN DETROIT! The list goes on.
- Ability to replace the existing soundtrack. Let's face it, the current soundtrack is absolutely TERRIBLE!
- Improve loading times between screens. The pregame load screen is quick, but transitions when loading the save and exiting the game after the end are atrociously slow
- This might be too difficult to implement, but possibly add a first person view camera in be a pro!
10) Game modes:
- World Junior Championship
- Practice mode within Franchise Mode
- 3 on 3 game, like during the all star game
- All Star weekend in Franchise Mode. Authentic experience with skills competition, and a 2 period 3 on 3 hockey game format
- WINTER CLASSIC!!!
- Top Prospects game (based on region/continent) prior to entry draft!
I ran out of ideas for now...
Great idea I think for BAP that could be nice to have Jr league like J20 super elite (Sweden) ...

That would be a nice option
