NHL 21 Roster Update Available Today
A new NHL 21 roster update is available today. Some of the overall changes are listed below.
- Leon Draisaitl +1 (Overall 93)
- Auston Matthews +1 (Overall 91)
- Mitchell Marner +1 (Overall 91)
- Quinn Hughes +1 (Overall 87)
- Andrei Svechnikov +1 (Overall 87)
- Cale Makar +1 (Overall 87)
- William Nylander +1 (Overall 86)
- Jack Hughes +3 (Overall 83)
Other than those overall rating updates, the NHL team has been stingy with details on updated rosters, for the most part, so you will need to take a look for yourself. If EA posts a new blog with full details, we’ll let you know. Until then, let us know what you think.
UPDATE: EA has posted the roster update changes here.
As always, we try to bring up the fact, the NHL series needs to bring back the roster share feature. The community complained about it missing from the NHL 21 franchise mode reveal and we discussed it in great detail, last December.
Over the past year, the team focused on NHL 21, specifically for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, let’s hope they can bring back the roster share feature in NHL 22, on all consoles.

Just checked, no Zegras, Turcotte is still on Berlin. Once again, this looks like a pathetic roster update. But I guess, we're used to that...
Thanks! So sick of this company. Lol
Edit - you mean to tell me Turcotte and Madden have been in this game the entire time 🤦🏻*♂️ lol. My bad.

HOWEVER, I LOVE this game more than any NHL game I've ever played. So I'm just working on some private roster stuff, realizing I won't get everything right.
As cool as this would be, forget it, this will never happen with this company. Remember the good old days when we could edit the rosters with NHLview on our computers? That was an amazing program, editing players was ten times faster than it is now in-game. You were able to upload player pictures etc...
Yes, you are right. I remember that good old days. I mean also that they have no good marketing Managers. If you change Player Portraits regular you will make more business in HUT. Hut Gamers are focused to buy Cards. Who will buy a black Silhouette from Kaprizov or Romanov in HUT :-) ? So if they give them always new Portraits of the Players they will buy. From my side would pay extra to get more real Player likenesses. For example 100 new likenesses, Goalie masks, other equipment $10-20 for Franchise mode. The only mode I play is Franchise mode. Whatever they do, HUT never will touch. By the way, I always give feedback about it in their advertisements in Twitter.
What does the "merging rosters" actually do?
I have made my own file with trades and some ratings changes. Also created 3 players. If I merge them, do I lose this stuff? (I recognize the CAPs no longer remain on the teams I put them on).
And: which roster do you select first to merge them together? (Although the first question answered may make the second one irrelevant). Thanks!!!

The problem is that this merging is going wrong. I told this EA developer in their Forum, but as usual they never listen. When you merge your Custom Roster with an EA Roster the EA Roster will overwrite all your changed data on the EA created Players. They also remove your CAP‘s from the Teams. Also remove changed equipment like changed Goalie masks, sticks ..... and will set it back to EA standard. The contrary should be ...... your custom Roster need to overwrite the EA Roster ( the existing EA Player from your custom Roster their I mean ). So after merging as it is now, you have as massive work to change all back
It's weird to me that Auston Matthews (Chasing Hughes in this pic) has the exact same eyes as Hughes, and looks identical to him from the nose up here.
Wait, it will be in ea play vault in April.
