When you edit your lines, remember to change your powerplay and boxplay lines. Also don't use a high rated goalie as back up since the matches count even if he's not playing (iow you're shortening his career).
To get a good line chemistry try aquiring players from the same team or att least the same league. Place them on their correct spot (LW as LW etc). Avoid players with the same role on the same line (3 PLU's for example). With a good chemistry you won't bobble as many passes.
Trade players instead of just buying packs. If you get a star player from a pack, search Trade for team mates that's being sold for a good price. Avoid players with few matches left in their career. Prices tend to be higher in the weekend when more players are playing.
If you buy Peeweepack for 600 pucks - contract cards can be sold so that you make a profit. I myself tend to buy contract cards for maxprice 200-300 when I need them to complete a tournament.
Don't forget to collect and use training cards. You can use these on cheap, young players with good potential (they will make excellent low sallary 3rd and 4th liners). You may use someting like 14 training cards on them. Before you start adding training cards to players you should add contracts that are as long as you got to them. This because their salary will be higher if you add the contract to them after adding training cards.
Try finding players that suit your playing style. If you mostly score on the rush - look for fast players and SKT training cards. If you don't tackle much, you're better off with palyers with good DEF and DEF training cards.
