I changed my guy last night from 5"11' 187 to 6'3 230 and the difference was much better. I also got my next card, and it helped. I changed from a sniper to a 2W forward right now, and I just keep adjusting slapshot and wrist shot right now. I find that in the early stages, I am just going to keep getting ran over with my small guy, and now I can do the running over and still produce. Speed is 85, edurance is 90, so that is a good start there, and checking is high as well.
And yeah, I say just use this month to get games in and get boosted up rather then trying to make a run at it with only 18 days left. Work on team play again, and get everyone set.
And I have to say it again, we need to find another goalie, because you're being wasted sitting in net KG. That's my opinion, as I think if you either played defence as it seems like you want to, and if someone else wants to play defence fulltime then two people can start working well together.
