Oh when 701 drafted her first overall, stepped down and made here GM... And then she was redrafted somewhere else anyway and first overall was used on someone else by her.

It was an exaggeration. But I can't recall one time I experience anything as low as even -10 in Vancouver or the UK. It's been colder in Latvia but I have only come to visit there since the age of 5.

Calgary definitely. You could probably win the season series (ironic since your goalie is Calgary's future). And if Bratislava win this season, that'd be 4 championships between Yukon and Bratislava in six seasons since expansion. At least in that sense, expansion has been a massive success in the VHLM.

Maybe inactives should be limited to 3rd line ice time only, or at least 2nd, kind of like in the Super Cup.

Possibly the best idea. But if two teams are tied with the least LWs, bottom up priority or top down? I think it should go bottom up because the top priority teams already missed their chance to claim the player.

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.
