And then they were like "what are you doing wasting your time moving old trades across?"

Yet you voted for New York.

You traded for me and Phil though.

Spoiler alert jeez.

Season 39, the curtains are drawn on HC Davos' 4-straight-final run with a 5-game loss to the heavily-favoured New York Americans. The dynasty has run its course and must be sold off to accelerate the incoming rebuild. Matt Bentley and Naomi Young are two of the first to leave, traded to the Quebec City Meute, a team needing a boost in their rebuild. Later, two more Davos mainstays in Felix Zamora and Lennox Moher join the “HC Quebec City Dynamo”, now a growing threat in the North American Conference. The only bits missing from the successful Davos team are captain Thomas Landry and good luck charm Jarkko Olsen. But Season 40 doesn't go to plan for Quebec. The team never clicks and ends up falling in the first round to the underdog Calgary Wranglers, inspired by none other than Thomas Landry. Olsen wins the cup with a dominant Riga Reign. Zamora and Moher retire, while Bentley and Young are traded away, as Quebec chases a Continental Cup for four more seasons without success. -------------------------- Season 48, the curtains are drawn on Helsinki's 3-finals-in-4-seasons run with a 5-game loss to the heavily-favoured Toronto Legion. The dynasty has run its course and must be sold off to accelerate the incoming rebuild. Greg Clegane and Aleksi Koponen are two of the first to leave, traded to the Quebec City Meute, a team needing a boost in their rebuild. Later, two more Helsinki mainstays in Wolfgang Strauss and Pablo Escabar join the “Quebec City Titans”, now a growing threat in the North American Conference. The only bits missing from the successful Helsinki team are captain Phil Hamilton and good luck charm Marcel Faux (and Matsikas and Kaminogi). All I can say is thank fuck Jack Kowalski's retired.

no bragging

This awards ceremony is as sexy as the World Cup itself. Didn't win anything (except CLEGANEBOWL), but by far my favourite off-season tournament since before the disease that was the Super Cup.

Helsinki's.

wrote six lines on two championships - the Fauxkin way

It kind of went into S2. I think there were a couple off-season moves before S2 by Kendrick so we can blame him for Seattle being bad.

You are such a fanboy, you're probably the reason we lost last season.

Yeah, not-goalie.

Except it did go wrong.

Welfare made everyone lazy. You just wait til I get to TPE whore on two players simultaneously.

I still say Frank built the Davos team through the S27 draft and all the remaining assets Bushito promptly traded for veterans leading Davos to shit immediately after their cup. And S43 was hardly a feat of GMing intelligence.

He brought us into this just to destroy it all. He is George RR Martin.

I blame Draper

Either eaglesfan finally wants to move out of his brother's shadow or he wanted a forward. Although.... Well now you've fixed that one.

I thought Ahma was the porridge lover.

ADwyer, of course I was joking. To be honest, from your thread title and how it started it seemed like a jokey suggestion which I clearly misinterpreted. http://www.vhlforum.com/index.php?/topic/30345-just-call-me-henry-motherfucking-clay/ I was kind of surprised by your response tbh but I suppose it makes sense in context if you think everyone has been piling up criticism. That's not the case of course, its just most members' mannerism here really. Everyone's work is probably underappreciated but it is appreciated. I think you'd be among the top ranked VHLM GMs if you asked anyone. I mean, your early VHLM articles in the mag probably got more praise than any of my articles ever. But you can't expect the same reaction every time - when people say great mag edition they aren't ignoring your contribution.

Sorry you know more than YEAH, thus disqualified.

Yeah my main concern about this before was weakening of draft classes, which the two player system covers. I still don't love the idea but the limit could be increased to 11 or 12 seasons. I still think there should be a limit though and harsh depreciation and carryover as proposed. To those concerned about those protecting the current system: 1. 7 season careers, as mentioned, are not an end yo HOF career. Lindberg, Osborne, Wahl just a few recent examples. 2. We're not protecting our personal records - most of them belong to a now inactive Scotty Campbell. And they'll be hard to reach anyway as Streetlight showed with the O'Malley example. All-time stats may be a bit skewed nonetheless but I'd suggest starting an additional spreadsheet for everyone who retires after the implementation of this + two players. Because I feel second players will change league stats anyway.

Also stevo, Tylar, Caillean - you're not serious right? I mean you can buy the VHL.com upgrade - even if you miss every second week you're missing out on what, like 20 TPE? Over your entire career!

This does not absolve you of the crime of including unenforceable clauses which should really be covered by an element of trust between player and GM!
