Gonna keep it short here. You may seen or not my April 1st post in here where I was messing around on stepping down and thing. Except this was a hint, not joke. Following this season I'm no longer a Riga Reign GM. The reason is pretty basic, nothing left in the tank. My involvement in sim leagues is on the way to non existent at this point. And as Riga is close to competing again, there is a need of a way more energetic GM who can make this happen. I'm fairly sure that this time my interest won't come back the same way it did couple of times before. But it was fun times regardless, especially when I was on my prime. Just wish I had more cups lol (here is the part where I'll blame Simon for one last time). So yeah, nothing much else to say. Thanks everyone for the fish and good luck! P.S. don't show this thread to Bana, cause he bout to have a heart attack from happiness

Until I didn't completely forgot about this thing so here it is. Also this is somewhat special announcement for a reason. C - Erik White Jr. @Mysterious_Fish A - Fradin McGryer @Fradin99 A - Kimi Raikkonen @mattyIceman HC - Red Panda @Lemorse7 Don't forget to congratulate our captains!

1. I guess lets just move on to the season. Nothing much else to do on offseason 2. Yeah....I was sleeping. But with all of his inconsistencies, Eagles dropped so far lol 3. Yeah....but where are @solyom, @ELF_SH0ES and @Isaac then lol. Anyways, welcome! 4. No. This free agency stinks besides couple of good players 5. Uhh...not really. I just know Frost is gming me there hah 6. Yea maybe. I guess only Bļugers to watch there though

1. How have you been keeping yourself busy in the offseason? I'm doing exactly bunch of nothing. 2. The Continental Cup went to Game 7 OT and Riga alumni The Frenchman scored the winner - how thrilling was it for you? if only this happened with Riga.... 3. Will you be paying attention to the upcoming VHL draft? depends. if we still have picks by that point, sure. otherwise, don't care 4. How do you think you did on your prediction points if you submitted them? I think I actually never submitted anything. shrug emoji 5. What is your thoughts on the 4 Nations Cup the NHL is organizing next year? uh....what's that. never heard of that before now 6. Do you expect much activity in this years NHL trade deadline? not so much? Not following this thing closely so I can't answer

cant knock the hustle eh? we'll see how it goes

5. D.C. Dragons , The Frenchman 13 2 - The Frenchman (DCD) 3 - Henry Tucker Jr (DCD) thank you @hedgehog337

1. How boring is a wait for the offseason? 2. Your opinion on that lazy Riga GM almost catching a punishment (1 backup goalie game too much) 3. Any hype for the offseason tournaments, such as world cup or JST? 4. Which prospect you're most excited to see in Riga next season? 5. Your opinion on me nominating Fradin as the most improved Riga player. 6. Who do you think will win the cup out of 4 remaining teams?

1. Following the season, what is your overall thought on the teams performance? Wasnt bad. 30+ wins with mixed roster is a fine sign. 2. What about your player's performance? Did it it live up to your expectation? I guess it was a good sendoff. makes it up for the mid first half of his careeer 3. Are you going straight to vacation mode now that the offseason is here or is there some other things you need to address/work on before packing up the locker? more like permanent vacation mode right now 4. What is your expectation for next season? depends on the trades. Ideally, being a contender. 5. Riga has three 1sts in this year draft - do you think this may be the start of another rebuild? Ehhh? Probably selling the own first may not be a good idea, but otherwise there is a point to sell some 6. Auston Matthews is currently on pace for 76 goals - do you think he makes it to 70 before the end of the season? It hasn't been done since the early 90s. cant really answer to this question. I guess he has the talent to pull that off

Player Information Username: hedgehog337 Player Name: Donnis Orange Krupis Recruited From: Other (ig dis recreate) Age: 49 Position: RW Height: 73 in. Weight: 242 lbs. Birthplace: Latvia Player Page @VHLM GM

1. With playoffs out of probable contention, what is your mindset for the last handful of games? enjoy the rest and hope Prague chokes. Or not, just enjoy the rest 2. What do you think of Red Panda's rookie season in net? (.919 SV%) Fine. The better days are coming. But also the low rebound=lots of shots theory isn't the most accurate it seems 3. Do you have any offseason plans lined up already? to blow money fast and forget about the hockey 4. Do you have any friends in the playoffs you're going to secretly cheer on? I don't think so. I don't really care about the season once we're eliminated 5. What player has been the most dominant when facing Riga this season? I didn't notice anyone ngl. Everyone doing everything to win games, I don't think there's been any particular kryptonite for us 6. NHL Trade Deadline is coming up - who do you think will be the biggest player traded? I don't know. just not following much this season. I guess not Elvis hah

1. We took another fall in the standings since last week, what do you think has contributed to the fall? I guess team believes more in tanking than being tryhard for the 5th seed. Decent choice, now I know what pick not to sell 2. It's more likely than not the team is in sell mode, how do you feel about that with respect to your player? AK is sad. He might actually be sold and not finish his career at homeland 3. Are you looking ahead to next season or is there still reasons to focus on the rest of the year? I guess there's always next season. This season is only for stats and stuff 4. With AK92 retiring, who do you think is next in line to be the top scorer/leader of the team? White Jr might have a good shot at it. Just needs some luck. 5. Let's talk positives - what has been the highlight of your season so far? AK still isn't mid. Well then. 6. Did you watch any the NHL All-Star weekend? If so, what was your favorite part ? Did not at all. Forgot this thing existed, I guess cause no Latvians are there anyways

1. After a rough week - do you think its better to be a buyer or seller at the trade deadline? gotta hold on before the trade deadline. the team isn't exactly far from the truth, but selling may still be more likely 2. Do you think the team has a chance to win in the playoffs if they make it? everything is possible I guess. especially if we actually can make it 3. What's the vibe like in the dressing room right now? pretty calm, no panic. we know we still have work to do so no worries 4. AK92 's contract expires this season - do you see him returning? he will not return to Riga. matter of fact he will not return to VHL at all, he is retiring 5. When in the midst of a losing streak -how do you manage to not let it distract you? in fairness, it's not even really a losing streak. just a string of not so successful games. I'm not distracted by this cause I know we're playing a fine hockey 6. Who has the best chance at winning the Stanley Cup out of all the Canadian teams? id EDM backline holds tight in the post season, might be them

btw while I was claiming this I just saw this response so... this was not an expected twist ngl. still can't justify that trade, but the idea was valid. Perhaps only few would expect I'd hop on Lemorse at 8th ov
