That's a lot for some rights.

Correct- why be obsessed with my players who come and go when I can be obsessed with a higher being - myself.

Realistic Slobo winners: Top scorer Top goalscorer Top defenceman Top goalie Boulet favourite And they're all on the ballot. Don't let the door hit you on the way out though.

99.8% of the electorate voted me in, it is what it is

VHLM GMs accepting trades now, what is the world coming to

Vote for who you think was individually the most outstanding player in the VHL in S76. @Members MOSCOW MOSCOW MOSCOW

well that's it I'm boycotting this tournament

I'm confused, how is there a Team Mercenaries when only World have announced a roster?

Because who, if not the Phoenix, has adapted that magical spirit of S70 Moscow. All the way down to having @gorlab and @Aye my name jeff on the team as well. All the way down to having 2 expansion draftees on the cup-winning squad - Syreck and Squirrely dan - not unlike Dan Baillie on Moscow. Yeah, good expansion teams win while their expansion draftees are still around, looking at YOU MALMO. Because over half of the team was not first-gen. This is a very welcome representation for us old folk in the league who need to stick together in these brave new times. I might give @Quik shit for going on vacation for 6 months but he still links me to the glory days of S19 Calgary. Or @solas, he's a connection to S30 Calgary. Cherish those connections. Because #JEFFERSHIP FFS. The man who logged in twice in about 8 years solely to participate in Oregon Trail has built a cup winning roster. You love to see it. Because Chicago featured @pennypenny and @twists. That's just top tier shithousery which deserves to be respected. God bless Chicago, the new last bastion of the old VHL. I see you and I salute you.

git gud

At least I get to accomplish my goal of banishing @Spartan from Moscow.

Leaving Moscow with a 1st overall pick having never used the ones I got in the draft lottery. Thanks for your time here @Josh, shame we couldnt get you a cup.

Calia is back home

Week 2 of 2.

Hitting is an important part of mental health as it releases a lot of pent up frustration, I think this I very inconsiderate of Boulet contenders everywhere.

Over 12 seasons on from announcing a VHL franchise would be coming to Moscow for the first time, GM Victor Alfredsson steps up the podium to thank all the players during his tenure.... Thank you to the OGs - not many expansion draftees made it particular far but Evgeni Komarov @Gooningitup was our 2nd captain, Paolo Nano @leafsman was our first great defenceman who sadly retired just before the cup, and Dan Baillie @wcats was and remains a Muscovite through and through and of course was there to lift the ultimate prize in S70. Thank you to the captains - Komarov again, Mark Gebauer wherever you are, Jet Jaguar @gorlab, the franchise's first big hype man and the one that lifted the cup, Dean Clarke @Kyle, the ultimate steal who grew from dump-and-smash to one of our leaders, Nate Telker @Telkster, our other ultimate steal who became one of the best centers in the league, and Alex Letang @Spartan who has been my right-hand man in strategy and drafts for the past 3 or 4 seasons. Thank you to all the individual stalwarts. I haven't counted it up, but I'm pretty confident that Moscow players won the most individual awards in the past 12 seasons. In addition to Jaguar, Raymond Bernard @Mr_Hatter became probably the best goalie of the generation here, Smitty @flyersfan1406 became the best defenceman in a generation, Roque Davis @Josh has taken a step towards becoming the same, Randoms @hedgehog337 became a two-way goal-scoring powerhouse, and Mikko Lahtinen @Beketov has swept home many awards for 3 seasons in a row. And if I haven't mentioned you yet, don't worry, because I will now. Mat Tocco @Matmenzinger your name is etched into VHL history as a cup winner and there won't be many forwards who outperform you in Moscow colours Oskar Lagesson @fever95 unfortunately we couldn't get one last cup but you made the transition from S70 to now so much easier and are right up there with our best defencemen Gritty @WentzKneeFan036 you and Smitty turned our fortunes around and the MOSCOW MOSCOW MOSCOW rallying cry may outlive us all Vin Calia and Lucas Brandt @VinCal and @twists you may have not made it to the end but you were great sports when you were around. Same with Jorgon Weyed @Joubo from the previous generation. @Will I think you're the only person who had 2 players pass through Moscow and you were here for the cup. My most loyal inactive servant x Pietro Angellini and Cole Newhook @okifenoki and @GrittyIsKing09 - picking you two as late as I did in S72 is part of the reason I made it through 12 seasons and a big part of our continued success. Ryo Yamazuki II @Donno100 we somehow had a patchy history because I barely missed out on Carison and then traded Yamazuki at no notice - hopefully no hard feelings though! Fat palloon @UnkemptCL4PTP I think you story in Moscow is just starting to be written, I've greatly enjoyed watching you develop over the past few season Killy Foilen @Aye my name jeff the unsung hero of S70 who also carried the discord LR with gorlab for many seasons Remy Moreau @Da Trifecta it wasn't quite the Davos glory days but I'd like to think we got at least part of the way there.... thanks for your time Aleelee Kiak @Grant I don't think you were the most active here but I was glad to see you got yourself a cup after leaving Moscow and then found a niche in Chicago - looking forward to your new player Kris Rice, Jacob Tonn, Breeze Ladrian, Jay Jones, Ryan Schwarz @Ricer13 @MexicanCow123 @Kelsier @TTtheT @Enorama I may have only GMed you for one VHL season but what a season it was. Thanks for buying into the project and I'll see you around.

Well, I have to say it would have been so poetic if I could say "12 seasons - a cup in my 6th and a cup in my 12th". Alas, the almighty sim had other plans. Nonetheless, 12 seasons 9 playoff appearances (including an ongoing 8-season streak) 3 Victory Cups 2 finals appearances 1 Continental Cup and 3 Top GM trophies (maybe one more on my way out?) Not bad for an expansion team eh? I think I set myself a target of about 10 seasons as GM and to win the cup at least once. All in all, mission accomplished. I actually had plans to retire after the back-to-back finals in S70 and S71, but stumbling into a superb S72 draft class reinvigorated me long enough to build a new core. We didn't quite reach the previous heights, but it was a solid run and it was a fun locker room all the way through. I don't think I would have gone back into the GMing game under any circumstance other than expansion, but the appeal of building a franchise from scratch was too much to look past and I am very happy with the result. Moscow is a staple of the league now, it's an attractive franchise, and there is a legacy to carry forward. I'm hugely ambitious so there's usually lingering disappointment from anything but I am sure I will look back at this era with a sense of pride. I will also remember fondly the many players who have gone through Moscow over my time here. It would be unfair to only name a few in this post but stay tuned for an article of some shape in the near future. That's a wrap though. I will oversee trade negotiations until my replacement is formally announced but I suspect someone else will be representing Moscow at the draft next week. Actually, that won't be much of a change.... MOSCOW MOSCOW MOSCOW x

Inseparable. I've purposefully made terrible players recently so we stay together. I feel the need to audit this because I have 2 of these so it feels low...

Welp, well done Warsaw. Keep the cup in Europe at least.

You missed the S32 cup for Rift I would still say your first player was your best skater lol.

Glad we got your Builder induction in while you were still in your prime, it's the cool way to do it. Now.... return of the Victatorship?

Did everyone lose this trade

I thought you already did once

Unanimous voting for gorlab is on the cards.
