Expand. For the time being, the rules are in the first post here: http://vhlsim.invisionzone.com/index.php?/topic/3451-s36-waiver-thread/ The last point about which way players are assigned is up for debate. I'll also post it in the VHLM GM forum.

LW - Dexter Jonty D - Jack Ryan RW - Tihon Kalstad LW - Molson Keith 24 hours to free claim these players. Then they are assigned to a team.

Yeah first-gen here always refers to a player being their member's first (hence first generation). So Davey Jones is a first-gen.

Once they're created. VHLM GMs should pay attention to that forum, waiting for them to be added to the VHLM waiver thread can waste half a day if not more.

Yeah maybe 2 days. This means once a player joins there's 24 hours to claim him using priority, then 24 hours to claim him for free, and then he gets assigned to a team.

Oh and incentive for VHLM GMs will also be implemented retroactive to the start of the season (this is 1 TPE for each new member who gets to 50 TPE) unless someone makes a good counterargument for that.

This will be implemented with immediate effect unless someone makes a reasonable counterargument.

I assumed people die in weather colder than -2 Celsius.

What this thread has definitely shown me is there is no good reason to not assign players to teams after 72 hours of being available. We should do a test sim of this situation. I'm sure there will be an effect but to what extent? All teams would play the useless teams an equal amount of times. Or maybe we should consider moving to a two-sim system, with a separate simmer for the VHLM. No one would lose sleep over Vasteras being removed. Bern can leave too, they've achieved close to nothing in their whole history. North America would be more difficult. Brampton and Minot probably would have to go if we contract.

He should update the index, the filthy drunk.

I know a lot of SHL guys in the past were surprised by the lack of contact even at the VHL draft (it's just not as important here because TPE sets players apart to make the draft order fairly straightforward) but I do agree it's probably a more important part of the VHLM draft where there are so many more unknowns.

They could have made it more subtle I think. Is it AHL policy to spontaneously throw teddy bears after a goal?

Your loss you alcoholic!

you're jealous really

5-1

87 Express vs HC Dynamo 88 Americans vs Meute 89 Bears vs Titans 90 Legion vs Iron Eagles

That's why I think losing seasons should be spent on grooming new members. They have 0 TPE which isn't going to stop your from losing. Yeah, losing teams' LRs are shit but so are some of the contenders (which is sad but true). Losing teams GMs' best course of action should be to have a PM/IM relationship with new members, make them active and improve the upcoming VHLM and VHL drafts. Hence being forced to acquire overlooked new members should at least theoretically force the VHLM to accept responsibility for them. Additionally, perhaps knowledge that a player will only be on free waivers for 48 hours will make GMs more enthusiastic about helping new members (not saying others aren't, but some are particularly awesome at it) claim them faster.

Tukio tried.

No mercy.

Much better from the top line. And a DAV G win.

If anyone did that, their days as VHLM GM would be numbered. Not that there is any reason to do it, a 0 TPE player won't stop a team from losing. That is the real problem for me, since an inactive LR can disinterest a new member. Hence the GM has to take the initiative. Hence... The VHLM GMs are all fine individuals who enjoy the league and want to see it prosper. But not everyone is going to go out of their way to do absolutely everything. A little incentive won't hinder matters. VHLM GMs don't get much recognition or attention, their accomplishments are overlooked alongside the whole league. We can talk about how it's their job, but we have to be realistic.

I think the best solution would be to assign players to teams after 3-4 days. So player is added to waivers, after 24 hours becomes a free waiver, after 72 hours is assigned without affecting priority to a team, becoming that team GM's responsibility. Incentive for VHLM GMs would help too. 1 TPE for every player who reaches 100 TPE, who started on that team?

Yes, I tick both boxes: incompetent asshole. Welcome back.

The joy of Edit by lines. Anyway, one of the greatest? Yes. The greatest? No. No one actually stands out as the obvious best goalie ever. But Labatte has less Shaws than Shaw, less cups than Kanou. And save % is like .009 between 15 goalies. Which is almost negligible. Anyone high in several categories is pretty awesome. Speaking of which, CAL G needs more love.

He also won the Shaw in S33.
