1. I think we're already showing promising signs, currently the highest goalscorers in the league! I will certainly be looking for opportunities to add to the team in the off-season but even this core on its own I believe is capable of taking a big step up in S67.
2. Logically, they should, but nothing is logical anymore. I think that yes, they've got their big wins early on but are not truly a playoff team. However, the advantage (heh) they now have might just carry them into the postseason.
3. Currently I am not adding to face offs with Pavlov so yes, that is the plan. We have 3 in fact with McDavid as well, so there is no need for Pavlov to be a center.
4. There have been a few instances, going as far back as S11 Davos, but more importantly now so many teams have unconventional rosters by VHL standards that anything is possible.
5. Partially yes, but I don't think the minutes are that much lower to explain it. I should just be doing better and I'm glad I have another team's results to pay attention to otherwise I'd be quite frustrated.
6. Well they're not bottom now and I didn't expect them to be long. Having the second worst goalie in the league is a risky strategy though and the playoffs are under serious threat.
7. I'm going to be honest, I haven't paid much attention to it and might not as I just have my first two picks. If it's not deeper than S66, I do think it looks deeper than any other pre S66 draft so still pretty amazing.
8. Again, I'd need to have a closer look but I don't think anything is in the works at the moment. There is just about enough space I believe as a few teams are carrying players who can be discarded.
9. Well that's the alternative. I prefer expansion to raising the cap, but also want at least a couple seasons of no change lol. That is usually out of our hands though.
10. I did feel sorry for Nano so now I brought him to where he truly belongs. And now I feel even more sorry for him because if he never left last season or signed straight back in Moscow in the off-season he'd have unreal stats over the past two seasons. Already nearly our top scorer lol. Nano + Moscow is just a perfect combination.
