amnesiac's roster (updated Feb 24 + trades)
These are highly accurate up to date rosters and player attributes for NHL09 on PC (
updated for NHL and top 7 Olympic teams only: CAN, USA, RUS, SWE, CZE, FIN, SLV).
All NHL team rosters include players who've played at least one NHL game so far this year (let me know if I missed any
relative to the date I updated my roster). Players that have made their respective NHL roster but have not played a game yet could possibly be found in the "additionals" in NHL View. The team lines are done by myself and may not be accurate to date, as they get changed too often in real life.
Salaries for all active NHL players have now been updated (respective salary cap hit on Jan 13, 10).
All AHL/Euro teams are not updated. Personally, I have no interest in updating these.
The height and weight for 90% of the NHL players has been adjusted to 6'1, 205 lbs. The reason for this is because tall and heavy players are too slow, while short and light players are too fast in the game. This way Im able to adjust the players' speed and acceleration relative to each other without have to guess, as speed is the most important/dominant attribute in the game. That being said, I do slightly adjust the extreme short and tall players to have some noticeable appearance in the game (ie. 6'4 players are put to 6'2, 6'5 to 6'3, and 5'9 players are put to 6'0, 5'8 to 5'11, etc). All in all its barely noticeable, and it makes the game more fair, in my opinion.
I recommend installing the following graphic packs, as most of them are updated in my rosters:

Japan) with players that are not citizens of one of the top 7 nations (players such as: Kopitar, Vanek, Streit, Hiller, etc). Makes an even 8 competitive teams for Olympic tournaments.

Frankfurt Lions and
Hamburg Scorpions.
- "Greatest All-Time" teams, including players such as: Gretzky, Orr, Lemieux, Roy, Plante, Lafleur, Richard, Bossy to name a few. These teams are under
Avangard Omsk and
Dynamo Moscow. The "Legends facepack+cybers" folder contains all the cybers and facepacks for all the players involved (credit to Turbo 6, Slomo76, Jo-Naz, heninsh).
You will find all 11 of these teams in the
Elitserien league, as well as the regular All-Star teams. Hope you like them.
