Victor

Oh what a throwback thank you

I can't lie he was at the forefront of my mind as I was writing this

Victory. Hockey. Simulations. The importance of being earning. Lacking creative spark. Two TPE and two hundred words never being sufficient to unleash the full potential of a strong writing idea. Avoid Sunday scramble by writing nonsense midweek. No drop in quality. Also no rise in quality. Playoffs. Seattle. Success? Maybe. Many teams strive for the same goal. One goal, not enough goals to satisfy everyone. Can everyone ever be happy? Should everyone be happy? What is happiness and who deserves it? Thankfully someone finally changed goalers in the portal to goalies. Why was it ever not the word that it is? Stream of consciousness? Yes. Poetry? Perhaps. How can art be judged if the artist doesn't know if it is art? Still more words needed. Puck. Net. Score. Save. No score. One bad VHL.com is always permissible for everyone it would appear. But what about two in a row? But who can truly judge the quality of an article? Has less effort gone into this than another article? What is the calorie burn per letter typed? It's the same amount of letters. Should we measure TPE in calories? Does it take more to talk on a podcast than write? Is it more difficult to open Word or Photoshop? Victory. Hockey. League.

week 3 of 3

Living life like it's still S80

we had Vancouver based trailblazers walking decades ago so you could run

A fine addition to the long list of great Toronto GMs. Great drafting in particular.

I do x

You've definitely given a lot more leeway with them but I also understand it with more teams and if you're happy to track them. I think the onus always lies with the GMs to keep each other accountable if they want to get super creative about it. Ah so it's you who can't read then

It's basically in the perfect balance where the consequences aren't significant enough to warrant a void. If it was anything other than a retiring goalie, then I think there'd be grounds for voiding because it screws Warsaw too much. So you are right, it does get looked at as a whole i.e. what will happen if we have to void the 2nd part. It's just that even in that case, it's not an awful trade in its own right (granted, it's not a good one) Also where has your L gone? Yup lol. I stand by the wording of the rule being cut and dry but this is a very unique set of circumstances which as above, is probably the only reason this trade shoudn't be voided.

No, the trade is allowed to go through because it's the 2nd part of such trades which gets voided. The only reason to void this trade would be if it was deemed a straight 4th for Syko swap is below market value which is probably not true as I don't imagine there's much of a market for Syko.

All this arguing about the conditions of trades and when we're allowed to trade future draft picks is excellent forum content. It's also got me wondering, what other confusing rules are there in the VHL? Let's have a quick look through the rulebook. Current cap ceiling: $44,000,000 This is a really tricky one to interpret. Like, it says a team can't spend more than $44 million but what if it really wants to? Nothing a conversation with the commissioners can't solve, surely. 5.1 - Basic Rules of Training Camp Training occurs during the pre-season, before the start of the Regular Season. I mean, it says these are basic rules but that's a real mouthful. What if I want to do training camp right now? Isn't it discriminatory for me not to be able to train when I want to? We can't all be in the same place in the same week, it's inconsiderate. Trivia Up to 2 capped TPE per week can be earned through participating in VHL Trivia, where you answer VHL related questions stored in the VHL Portal. The waters are really muddied on this one too. The whole concept of capped TPE feels like it's a bit of a grey area. If I was to acquire conditional future TPE, I think I would be within my rights to trade that for TPE that I could earn in future capped weeks to increase my weekly cap this week in exchange for maybe getting more TPE in 3-4 seasons. So many poorly written rules, so little time...

Vancouver winning cups with massive asterisks?? I don't believe it!

That's worrying, but I agree with the overall sentiment that it won't actually matter.

Doesn't actually add any further insight beyond the already clear rule, just a shameless flex.
