You guys will get going. You were starting to heat up, and you won't shoot a collective 7% forever. I believe in yous!

Same deal, if he doesn't say anything by tomorrow morning, you can giver a go

I'd say give him until tomorrow morning to decide. If he hasn't claimed by then, you're free to take it

No worries. I'll open it back up for now. If @Sova wants, he can take it. If not, it'll stay open and if you find time you can take it back.

Right now, there's only builder articles remaining, which I wouldn't recommend a newer member tackle. However @Eudaldkp and @.sniffuM have claimed King and Muller, but have yet to submit. Do you guys still want them, or can we open them back up?

Haha I was just trying to make @Beketov feel better man!

Iirc that was right before I left for vacation? Wasn’t able to make it work unfortunately

If it makes you feel better, @Will dodged mine for whenever he comes to Toronto, too lol My players have generally been decent, maybe some nostalgia from the original days. But yeah, generally the community. Hell, the fact that I've known @Beketov @Victor @tfong and a few others who are here today for longer than I've known most people in my life today kinda trips me out, now that I think about it haha.

Well, yeah, I get that, but it still leaves a potential issue. It's a can of worms that isn't really necessary when goalies are getting enough reminders that they have a free switch available to them if they'd like. And is also why F to D, and vice versa, are limited to a single switch. Too easy to exploit potential advantages like a GM giving the player extra money each year to switch whenever they need.

Yeah, facing Riga 4 of the first 6, or whatever it was, was a bit whacky, but 4 straight against one opponent is insane.

Given our start to the season, I'll take a split in the 4 games vs. Seattle (btw has the schedule always clumped games together this much?)

Not really sure about VHLM bots. As for members being back-ups, that's something they are warned about, heavily (which is where @Tagger's legitimate issue of VHLM goalies drying up comes from). Allowing them to switch to skater allows a pretty big competitive advantage. In your words, as a GM I can totally steal a great prospect by drafting a goalie who is falling due to the lack of need, to be my "back-up", then having them switch to skater.

Fair enough. Not sure what the solution is, tbh. Maybe a 50-70 TPE bot? Better than nothing, but a human goalie is still worth more, especially come playoffs.

Not sure? I've never been heavily involved in the VHLM. I would say that in order to have a bot goalie on the roster, there must be no goalies available - whether it's waivers, or another team having 2. So if 4 teams have 1 goalie, one team has 2, and one has 0, the team with 0 would have to trade for the backup or find one on waivers.

As long as teams aren't foregoing member goalies to start the bot, I'm fine with that solution to the goalie issue.

This is correct. You can only earn tpe from the point of creation, so this week would be the first week you can claim for @Benson. As enorama said though, you are entitled to 5 uncapped as part of the affiliation with the SBA.

?? A month is enough time for a someone to figure out if they want to be a goalie or not. Recruitment crew is actively letting them know what's up. Allowing it in the middle of a VHL career doesn't really make sense. One day you're a star goalie, the next you're a star C? At least F-D / D-F make a bit of sense lol (not the only reason, but still)

Weird, I got to the tree from the main index. It worked fine for me. Was definitely a bit tough, because there's no index for S19. Only reason I knew that was the answer is because that's when Dawson and I signed there with Sauve - the Miami Heat comparisons were fun, if not topical.

S25 Playoff Tree Indexes aren't supposed to be necessary to answer these though, and if you went by Playoff MVP, then S19 was the only one with 9 games. S25 Winner Daisuke Kanou (DAV) 8-3-0 1.73GAA .937SV%

Not sure about Devise - I think he was just mistakenly left off the Draft board, so hedge got him later than he probably should have lol Re: Holdouts So @Gooningitup can hold out if he'd like, but would mean he can't play either VHL or VHLM. If he doesn't go over the cap, then he could just stay in the VHLM, unless @Banackock calls him up, and then walk as a FA after S66.

Helsinki Titans Press Conference Week Ending: January 13th, 2019 With the Titans starting the season relatively slowly, do you have certain ways to break out of a slump? With news that the loss to Seattle was originally a 3-2 loss, does that change your feeling on anything to do with the team's less than ideal start? If you could make one rule change to the league, what would it be? How do you like to spend your free time, away from the rink? If you could make one rule change to the sport of hockey, what would it be? What is your go-to pre-game meal? @BarzalGoat @DaftRaincloud @Quik @Pandar @Jubo07 @BOOM™ @joeyboucher1 @SidTheKid87@monkeywrench15 @JohnnyT_77 @Sonnet @BBNAT @Jtww @Hybrid1486 @Sohva @bagelbitesisbae @leafsman @Joobles@Beaviss @BluObieZ
