See Coach? Another condescending response. I said two way street.

The VHL GM rule is the exception, that happens on average once every 10 seasons.

1) He is sitting on a team that will allow him to get the bulk of the work. 2) There is a rule in place that only allows a VHLM team to have one inactive free agent. Anyone else is either active or their rights are 1 year away from making them into that VHLM inactive free agent role. They get weeded out really quickly now.

What? The cap was put in to not discourage new members but to also make sure VHLM bigwigs don't stay in the VHLM for personal gain and stats when they are clearly able to be in the VHL at that stage. If they want to stay down, we do what Draper suggested: Take away the incentives to stay down. The cap was to ensure people didn't exploit the system when at 200 TPE they are ready for the VHL. It's simple, every year someone will complain, the league will have another long thread with people putting in their invaluable or not so invaluable opinions on it. If people think I am making these points because Richardson never had to do this, they are just hating on me. If Richardson had to go through the cap I would've respected the rules and structure in place as I've done for 40+ season already. This isn't about personal case, this is about pleasing the new members and not scaring their asses away. If you disagree well then let's go back to drafts where only the top 6 picks are quality and the rest go inactive. Might suck for a rebuild, but hey at least you get to beast in the VHLM for an extra season.

If you think my comment was made for my personal argument you have no clue where I stand on this cap.

Hey if they want it to 200, give em that. Just make it so they aren't eligible for VHLM Achievement Tracker or VHLM practice Facility. Easy steps, easy solution. Every year someone cries foul and complains that the BOG or the Blue Team is responsible, in reality the majority is responsible. This is a two way street, don't blame the BOG for not doing anything and then when they listen just get mad and throw a fit. Everyone is listening, no sense in yelling.

You dyslexic?

Saskatoon claims Ken Anderson (As someone who has helped him get here to progress I figured its best he comes and progresses here for the season )

The difference is that at the draft they will be a top 2 pick and a late first round and other players won't have left at the start of their 0 TPE careers. You are purely thinking at a 175 level with no regard for the new members, it's coming into selfish territory.

It's a lot cause on this one. The BOG and Victor/Jardy/Higgins were scolded by half a dozen people (all being newer members) for the fact they have to go up against people they can't compete with (the likes of O'Malley & Richardson) who had 300+ TPE. We looked at the situation combined with Smarch and FlyersFan's opinions and decided that instead of discouraging members away we'd love to keep them around. If that's a challenging concept to understand then I'm not sure you will like being a GM or a head of anything to do with recruitment. Because if scaring the majority (new members) away in favour of keeping the prominent 175 level guys happy is what we should stand for, well then here you have it; the VHL will stay at the 60-70 or so players it has now and never increase. Like I said, this seems fuelled by personal gain, not league gain. I'll let Devise or Victor come share in what they can add.

I already told you! The minority was against it and more new members were crying foul at the thought of going against 300 TPE guys in the VHLM. What does my player over Poole have to do with it? Something tells me this whole suggestion was brought up with personal gain behind it instead of league gain. What you are saying is why should we curb the production of a VHLM player when they will clearly go on to a fast TPE earning schedule when they reach the VHL anyways. What you are forgetting is that we also want to bring in new members, if we don't curb they will just get discouraged and leave. I just find it funny because for the amount of GM's who want new members to come in and load the draft pool up, they seem to be against the cap which allows us to keep some of those drafts around. But hey, I'm not a GM so I shouldn't care.

Phil also harps on something that was the main purpose of the cap. It's to avoid people staying in the VHLM just to gain the extra TPE and that's not fair to people who are in their first season of the VHLM.

Razzle Dazzle argument is weak, that had less to do with TPE and more to do with VHLM GM's not having any intelligence. All players must bank at 175 TPE, but those not drafted yet in the VHL aren't subject to the 200 TPE rule before the season starts. Like I said, Minority.

That answers this right here. Your personal opinion and values as a member. The minority hated the cap, the majority was in favour of it. Also you never touched on VHLM awards, which I mentioned above. If you aren't drafted you go to 200 not 175. It's not about evening up the draft players as opposed to the already drafted players at the 175 mark, it's about the players who start with 0 TPE and join that have to compete against 300 TPE players which is the problem.

Well recreates will win all VHLM awards without the cap, that is a truth considering they will have a better player in the sim. Also more people were upset with the inability to compete against 200+ TPE than to have to sit at the banked area. Also anyone not drafted yet goes to 200 TPE. What do you mean it will be reflected on the draft? The cap has nothing to do with the draft realistically.

Phil you are so old! That makes me old too yikes!

Czar was looked at as a risk because he had previously retired players very early in their careers. So you could call it a steal or simply history coming back to haunt a players draft position. Good player, I don't consider it a steal per say.

It's a troll, go into Subway and ask them for one. See what they say

He will try regardless Jardle go back to your place on whore island.

Munk, want me to handle this? Or you good?

google.ca/opinion He lacks emotion half the time and that's somewhat a negative on Bond. Quantum of Solace might be one of the/if not the worst Bond film ever made.

Dangit

A big win, good work guys!

Nice response but you never told us why. Daniel Craig is a good actor but there have been some duds in his lifetime like Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace that are scars on the Bond record.

Gents, just pick one. No either or shit, that's not how the article works haha
