  1. *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 don’t apply. are you saying I haven’t put time into the league?

    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.

    Yes just cuz i dont have no life an able to put up 3 articles a week and spend money to boost things. Ive had 4 players all with good careers 600+ tpe 3 of them. And 900 TPE for Sergei, 2 Komarovs did not benifit from boosted pension, or the claimed inflation of TPE. Which leaves me 1 player(my last in which i had to step away from my sons cancer) or he might have earned 700 TPE. Cuz my other one in "inflation era" earned 900. 

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

    And so ends the shortest return ever lol. So not only is my team not putting me in the line up im now losing TPE cuz the league instead of stopping giving SPA bonus they hurt the members who have put time into the league. Very disapointed in this sad move 

     

    @Commissioner

    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?

  5. 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.

  6. Rookie Experience

    Image result for rookie

     

    Expectations: I'm not really sure what to expect for my rookie season; a lot about the VHL has changed since I last had a rookie play in the VHL. I guess my most recent rookie experience would technically be Boner, but I wasn't really active at that point anymore, so I would consider Rudolph Schmeckeldorf to be my truer most recent rookie experience, and boy, what a shit show that was. Schmeckeldorf wasn't a crazy TPE whore, but he wasn't a welfare player either, and yet the sim absolutely SHAT on his during his rookie season. I remember I started the season with around 250 TPE and ended with 325 or something, but only managed to score a measly 9 points in that season. NINE!!! It was especially frustrating as Schmeckeldorf, who would end up being my most productive player, missed a few statistical milestones because of that season. I can't complain too much though, as he would end up with 4 Continental cups to his name, making the postseason every year of his career as well. If I had similar metrics with Magnum, I'd consider myself satisfied. Sadly, I do feel that a horrible rookie season will fall upon Magnum. He's almost the antithesis of Schmeckeldorf, yet he has similar production so far in his career; Schmeckeldorf was a pure passer, I didn't put any TPE into scoring or physical attributes until much later on, while Magnum is the pure scorer/brusier, with no points applied to any finesse or skill attributes.

     

    Reservations: To say I'm not nervous about Magnum's career is an understatement; I genuinely enjoy having "method" or "storyline" VHL players who actually have limitations and aren't just a typical two-way defenseman or scoring forward. I like the idea of having a player who has faults in areas but excels in others, just like real life. The only issue with this though, is that if it doesn't seem to be working, then it can become boring real fast, hence why I eventually gave in with Schmeckeldorf and started adding points to Scoring a few seasons down the line; I just got tired of him not really doing much. With Magnum, I really want him to be a brusier who can score 40 goals a season, but I'm worried about how that might work out. The VHL nowadays appears to be much more about line chemistry as opposed to just TPE-whoring, and if I can't find chemistry early on in Magnum's career, I may find myself adding TPE to other areas just like I did with Schmeckeldorf.

  7. May Is the Way

    Owen May focuses on the action of Toronto's opening night game against Seattle

     

    TORONTO, Ontario - It certainly won't last, but Toronto Legion goaltender Owen May is putting on a clinic through the first two games of the Legion's S70 campaign. In the two games the Legion have played, both against rival Seattle, the Swiss netminder has posted a sparkling .966 Save Percentage with a 1.00 Goals-Against-Average to go along with it. May hasn't quite lived up to the expectations set upon him when he was drafted 11th overall in S66, only ever having one successful season (S668 - .918SV 2.8GAA), but perhaps this season he may turn a corner. The Legion certainly won't be winning games with sheer firepower this season, so they will likely need to rely heavily on their goalie to steal games in what is expected to be a rebuilding year. For this season to be considered successful, the Legion would prefer to hopefully see the continued development of their prospects in the VHL and VHLM, such as Chad Magnum, Erik Killinger, Damien Wolfe, Kristopher McDagg, Jaxx Hextall, Dick Cheezy, and Aleksandra Olsen. The Legion will likely be sellers at the deadline as well, and may look to trade away their expiring FAs for picks, such as the recently returned Aron Nielsen.

  8. 1. Toronto has changed significantly in less than a week after Peace was awarded the Legion from Devise How would you analyze his moves, additions and asset management? I would say that he has done a decent job; the trade with Davos to acquire a bunch of S70 prospects was a gamble, but a calculated one IMO. All of the prospects coming to Toronto have a good chance to become impact players at the VHL level.

     

    2. Who - in your opinion (including yourself) - is Toronto’s top three prospects? Chad Magnum, Erik Killinger, and Jaxx Hextall

     

    3. We’ve got a lot of inactive bodies taking up roster spots this season, but the majority of them are on expiring contracts. Which inactive players do you think should return for another season in Toronto? Hmm, I don't really know any of them that well, as well as who is active/inactive, but possibly Teemu Lehtinen Jr. if he's currently inactive? I remember Lehtinen Sr. being a decent player awhile ago.

     

    4. Who do you think will lead Toronto in points at the mid way mark of the season? Hopefully myself, but I could see Nethila Dissanayake also taking the cake.

     

    5. If there is anyone most likely to win an award at the end of the season on Toronto, who is most likely to win it? I would nominate myself for ROTY, but I don't really think we have the roster built to enable that as opposed to Calgary's Lahtinen/THE Encarnacion

     

    6. Where do you think Toronto will finish in the standings? We will definitely miss the playoffs in the NA, and I think it'll be between us and Calgary for last place.
