Here I will be displaying all 30 NHL team player photos that I will be updating and adding to our wonderful game in the next few weeks. I will do my best and try and aim for a start of season release for all packs but until then I will be making a flurry of photos and updating the teams I have already done as NHL training camp and exhibition proceed.
 
Here is how I have now figured how to make my player photos for the game,
 
Firstly I search as many full photos from https://www.gettyimages.ca/ as possible, then I individually search for the best possible photo for any players not on Getty, crop all of them one by one to where it looks best (not just a severed head) remove.bg one by one after then in Photoshop I resize width % to around 125-130 depending on photo then when copied in template I set layer height to 1.5 in, center the image, sharpen, remove black and white matte, jersey swap and edit any players that need proper team apparel
DONE !
each team has taken about 3 hrs per so far but I'm getting quicker
that being said I need to be careful ?
I know this is a somewhat tedious method but I find that using full sized HD images from Getty gives the best result
 
 
First up is our 2019 Stanley Cup Champions
 
St. Louis Blues

Like I said: Use the photos from Yahoo/ESPN/FoxSports - the backgrounds have already been removed. So all you need to do is download the photos and resize/crop them properly in Photoshop. 
Here's an example of Andrei Vasilevskiy from Yahoo (https://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/players/5699/). 

 
Right click on the player's photo -> 'Inspect' -> to the right you'll see: 'background-image: url(https://s.yimg.com/it/api/res/1.2/8XSA8fgZlj1XcZep_Cgriw--~A/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7dz0zMDA7aD0yMDA7cXVhbGl0eT0xMDA-/https://s.yimg.com/xe/i/us/sp/v/nhl_cutout/players_l/10222018/5699.png'
Remove the https://s.yimg.com/it/api/res/1.2/8XSA8fgZlj1XcZep_Cgriw--~A/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7dz0zMDA7aD0yMDA7cXVhbGl0eT0xMDA-/ part / copy the 'https://s.yimg.com/xe/i/us/sp/v/nhl_cutout/players_l/10222018/5699.png' part for the full HD photo. 
 
Keep at it ?

Here's how it would look with the 19/20 season portrait. Made quickly with remove.bg and 'free transform' -> 'distortion' to fix the right shoulder part before resizing to make it fit perfectly with the facepack size template. Also, you should consider not using 'Layer' -> 'Matting' as it creates a dark line around the portraits like your facepack for Russia. Keep at it and you will become better ?

You should stay within the top line, yes. But the decision is yours, ultimately. 
However, every facepack maker I can think of, has stayed around the top line. 
If the shoulders are too wide to fit, you can use the Polygonal lasso tool to remove them or select the shoulders and then use 'Free transform' -> 'Distort' and make them fit. 

I use didfferent souces because those sites dont have everyone im looking for
 
I reference all team lists from elite prospects then search the player photos
the criticism is appreciated
