Thank you Daniel for your hard work as Yukon GM and good luck with Helsinki. Especially Phil.
Thank you eaglesfan for wasting an hour of my life between Daniel announcing me as new Yukon GM and you announcing me as new Yukon GM. It was worth it.
Yukon has for a long time not been 2 gud and might never be again. But we will definitely Make Yukon Great Again.
I won't do it in conventional style though. It's taken me 38 seasons to become VHLM GM properly (I think I made a few FA signings for Ottawa back in the affiliate era) so might as well do things a bit differently. One of the key reasons I want to be present at the draft is because I don't want Yukon's picks to be BPA. No, instead I want to personally put into action my ambition for the VHLM:
Make a VHLM contender without a single recreate.
I will ignore TPE count and not draft re-creates, sign re-creates, trade for re-creates, or make waiver claims for re-creates. From now on, the Yukon Rush will be home to no one but first-gen players.
People always say that ideally the VHLM isn't about winning but about developing and promoting activity. Well, it's time to put words into action. Make Yukon Great Again.
P.S. I'll still beat Jardy and sterling.
P.P.S. China
