Three new Next Gen cards in NHL 24 HUT
EA SPORTS NHL released three new Next Gen cards in Hockey Ultimate Team. These cards are only obtainable via the auction house or by reaching into some Irish luck and acquiring one in a pack opening.
These players are only available until February 13th.
The three players featured were superstars in their junior careers, and all went on to have successful NHL careers. Including one of the best, Mario Lemieux.
Bobby Smith holds the record for most assists (123) and points (192) in a season by an Ottawa 67's player. He was drafted first overall in 1978 by the Minnesota North Stars and later went on to score the Stanley Cup-clinching goal for Montreal in 1985-86.
Brian Propp is the Brandon Wheat Kings franchise leader in assists (292) and points (511) and holds the record for most points in a season with 194 in 71 games.
He was drafted 14th overall in 1979 by the Philadelphia Flyers. He put up 1,004 points in 1,016 games in 15 seasons in the NHL. He sits second all-time in goals by a Flyer and fourth in points.

Mario Lemieux - C, SNP
The most coveted card out of the three is definitely Lemieux's. Though it isn't as fast as the other two, his skating stats are still very good. The card has four 99-rated stats in passing, deking, offensive awareness, and faceoffs. Unlocking the two synergies on this card will give him 99 wrist shot power and accuracy.
This card could be your new first-line center if you obtain it. There are only a few on the auction house, and they're currently going for around 335,000-385,000 coins.
Bobby Smith - C, PLY
It has terrific speed with Wheels as its zone ability and Elite Edges as a superstar ability. Also, at 6-foot-4 and 210lbs, and with Unstoppable Force, this card has the makings to be one you'd want on your top two lines in HUT. Not to mention, it also has a faceoff rating of 90.
His card currently is listed on the auction house at around 125,000 coins.
Brian Propp - LW, SNP
Another card with excellent speed, but Wheels and Elite Edges are opposite from Bobby Smith's card. Expect a ton of offense out of this card with great hands and 95 wrist shot power and accuracy.
This card's price range ranges from as low as 65,000 (starting bid price) up to 175,000 (buy now price).
