I like to go with Low team prestige and work my way up (choosing “Bottom” for team prestige I feel is really low). Here, you can also set your Team Prestige, Market Size, and Local Fan Base.

Putting “Buffalo Sabres” as the team name would result in your team being called Buffalo Buffalo Sabres.

So, the Buffalo Sabres would have “Sabres” as their team name, and Buffalo as their location. Just be aware that your Location + Team Name will be your team’s entire name. This is pretty standard – come up with a name and give your team an identity. Details (name, nickname, arena name, etc.).Now is the time to create a team from scratch in NHL 22. The other option, Select Team won’t be available if you haven’t already created a custom team. To start with a custom team, select the 33-team expansion draft. In this case, the Seattle Kraken will already be in the league. You can start with the Seattle Kraken and play the 32-team draft, or opt to create a 33-team expansion draft, with your created team being the 33rd. In NHL 22, you can play two types of expansion drafts.
