Could you build this?

Partial Exhibition, tournament, and dynasty management UI and season logic are codeable, but a convincing hockey simulation engine and realistic player data are hard without licensed rosters and years of game-balance work.

What it would actually take: The management layer (rosters, schedules, standings, contracts, drafts) is a standard desktop app with a local database. The hard part is the game simulation engine: player ratings, line deployment, and probability models that feel realistic over a long dynasty. Building it well requires sports-sim and game-design expertise, plus a large amount of tuning data, and licensed NHL names and stats would need rights clearance.
