Even going to 1.5 would be beautiful.

I definitely see where you’re coming from, and I agree that we should be doing more testing with the newer STHS engines; I’ve asked tfong about their reported testing 1.5 awhile ago, but he never got back to me.

It’s just a matter of opinion really; I don’t think the league should switch over, and if anything, a separate league would be a better idea. I just don’t see why we would need to switch over when the league has been successful on STHS for 10+ years. STHS has its flaws, but it’s decent enough for our use; you also have to remember, nobody makes a sim engine with the intent of it being used for a player-sim. We made do with what we have.

Well that’s the thing, I don’t really want to close the VHL chapter.

Rigging is much more arduous than you think; when you sim you don’t even see individual statistics, you only see the final score; I’m not sure if we do live sims for the playoffs, but you can see what it looks like during those live sims. I’m my time in the league we’ve always had trustworthy simmers, so it’s not something you have to worry about.

I would be against moving to FHM for the simple reason that it would basically render the entirety of VHL history useless.

This. If the league eventually goes the way of giving people auto-12 TPE for doing nothing, I know I would lose interest. It would certainly increase activity/member retention, but it’s spitting in the face of people who have actually worked hard in the league for years and have been rewarded for their hard work. In my opinion, if we have auto-12 each week, point tasks would eventually fall away, and most league discussion would occur in the discord, which wouldn’t be ideal.

This. And I also suggested that you PM the blue team asking for an exemption from the rule, did you do that? @Gooningitup

Summers' Award to Lose? Erik Summers has been a key addition to Helsinki's offense HELSINKI, Finland - We are are nearly a quarter of the way through the S70 campaign, and there already appears to be a clear frontrunner for the Rookie of the Year Award: Helsinki defenseman Erik Summers. Summers, a S69 draftee, spent S69 playing for the VHLM's Mexico City Kings in an overage season, and boy did it do wonders for him. He didn't exactly light the world on fire with his S69 performance, but he has continued his steady play on the blueline into the S70 VHL season, and he currently leads all rookies with 11 points in 15 games. Helsinki currently is just barely outside of a playoff spot, and if they want to get into the postseason this year they'll need Summers to keep up his stellar play. He has a 4-point lead over the next highest scoring rookie, Chad Magnum, so at this point it appears that RoTY is Summers' to lose. Barring any other rookies going on a tear at some point during the season, there really only appears to be four other candidates at the moment who could possibly unseat the German-born defender; Toronto's Chad Magnum (2-5-7), Davos' Milos Slavik (1-5-6), and Calgary's Ondrej Ohradka (2-4-6) & Kris Rice (3-3-6).

I don’t think they’re getting blasted, I don’t think this is a terrible deal value-wise, I just don’t think it’s the right move for Davos at the moment; there’s always a risk with people going inactive, but I’m betting that Toronto’s 1st this season (1-4 overall) is less likely to be inactive than the 2nd rounder and NYA’s 1st in two seasons, which likely won’t be a lottery pick (but who knows)z

*removes Shawn because he kept delaying rebuild* *davos continues to delay rebuild* In all seriousness I get trying to get more picks in an era where 2nds have much more value than they used to, but in order to help Davos a reputable place to play again, you need star players/members, and those usually are not available in the 2nd round. I get that you’re also getting NYA’s 1st in 72, but the rebuild really needs to stop being delayed. I think Seattle wins this trade.

I believe going forward the HOF committee should look at at players % if goals scored during their era as opposed to their end-game totals.

I just finished it this week, I had only sent the link to Will so that he could update the portal.

You’ve certainly put time into the league, but you’ve also been in the league forever. And by “time”, I mean doing media spot/holding league jobs, etc. You’ve held a bunch of positions, which makes it kind of surprising to me that you haven’t had two players reach 700 TPE, but that’s what the rule is. If the pension plan was based on “positions held in the league”, it would alienate members too, it’s just that the BoG chose to go the TPE route.

Have you tried asking for an exemption based on the last player then?

I have no idea what’s going on with your lineup situation, but have you really “put time into the league” if you haven’t had a player(s) above 700 TPE?

1. Toronto's first week of play has concluded. We're 4-5-0 with 8 points, which to me is pretty awesome. Is the team over performing, under performing or performing as expected compared to your expectations before the season started? I think we're right about where I expected us to be, tbh. A lot of people had written us off before the season even started, but I think we're a young team that's improving every game for the most part.2. Our rookie, Chad Magnum, has five points in his nine VHL games. He is currently tied for second in rookie positioning, do you think he'll rise above Summers for the number one spot? I sure hope he does, it's going to be tough though, since Summers has way more TPE than I do. 3. Toronto's had a rough schedule against Vancouver (four of our five losses so far are against them). Do you think our record would be better than 4-5-0 if it were against a more diverse schedule? I can't really say; I think each team matches up against the other teams differently, and so far it just seems like Vancouver has our number.4. Toronto - at the moment - is tied with the D.C Dragons for the final playoff position in the NA conference, both firmly above Seattle's terrible 1-6-2 record so far. Do you think this is just a fluke, or do you think this'll extend into the season? Seattle is certainly slumping right now, and I think they'll eventually turn it around. Maybe not immediately, but by the deadline I expect them to be back in the playoff hunt.5. The HC Davos Dynamo (3-3-4) - like Toronto - have been surprising people early. Like above... do you think that this is just 'STHS being STHS' or do you believe there is some other reason for it? Maybe a little bit of both? There's more parity than ever in the VHL now, and I think this run by Davos might be a perfect example of that.6. Nethila Dissanayake's 10 points is leading the team through Toronto's 9 games. Is this any surprise, or did you expect another player to be atop the Legion's roster? If so... who? I wouldn't say I'm surprised, as Nethila has a good build, and has been a bit of a feel-good story for the team this season. I expect Nethila to still be leading the team in points by seasons end.
