A‑SQUAD

Spin a franchise and a decade, and a roster of everyone who dressed for that team in those years appears. Draft one of them into C, LW, RW, D, D or G, six times, then drop the puck: a statistical model projects the 84-game season your all-time squad would post, as a W-L-OTL record and a grade. Every NHL era since 1917 is in the deck.

The daily hands every player in the world the same six spins at 9:00 ET, one ranked attempt each, so the board measures drafting and nothing else. A challenge code gives a friend your exact spins for one official try. Every run comes with a free team re-spin and a free era re-spin, and neither is ever behind an ad.

Records are projected from era-adjusted box-score statistics only, and the model was checked against more than 1,750 real NHL team seasons before it judged yours. Every result shows how many wins each pick added or cost. A perfect season is possible, and rare on purpose. How it works walks through a whole run.

A-Squad is free and ad-supported. There is nothing to buy: coins are earned by playing, never sold, and never touch a ranked run. It is made by a small company of hockey fans; the about page says why, and the guide has the longer reads on eras, franchises and drafting.
