Yeah but Robbie is going to claim he traded that Starbucks gift card into a Yacht somehow.

Nah, he signed for two seasons, he went for Google Play cards.

Saskatoon alumni is now Houston’s roster. >:D

As a relatively new guy to the league, I admit I've never heard of the issues that happened here between the parties involved, so I'm just here to welcome Kendrick back to the VHL. Hai.

?

Oh nice, so it’ll be around for a little bit beforehand. I have a little too much on my plate at the moment but it’s certainly appealing. Gotta knock some things out before joining I reckon, settle in here as TOR GM too for the time being.

So it is possible! I’ve been pushing for VHL to switch to FHM6 as well, but not getting a ton of traction. I may be interested when FHM6 is actually running as the engine. I’ll keep tabs on that in 2021 or a few months or so (I assume that’s what is meant by year).

What is the new engine?

Did Hogan draft for Ottawa last night? This seems like a Hogan thing to do.

Alright, alright, you talked me into it. I’ll join.

Not bad for a goalie who took a few mid game naps from time to time.

I'm glad to hear your son is taking to chemo well, but at the same time I'm devastated your son as to take chemo. I can't imagine, I'm sorry for you, even though I think I may have already said this already. ?

TORONTO, CANADA -- The Toronto Legion have finally made a first round selection since they picked Tzuyu with their fifth overall pick in Season 63, their only first round selection under GM Ryan Power during his tenure with the Legion. Newly minted general manager Rylan Peace made some trades after assuming the office and wound up acquiring the tenth overall pick from the Vancouver Wolves in exchange - ironically - for longtime Legion defender Tzuyu. It was only fitting that the player selected in the first round so long ago be traded to a team for a pick in the first round in order for the Legion to select a player who became the first pick in forever... confusing? The Toronto Legion drafted Justin Graves tenth overall in the Season 70 VHL Entry Draft. "I'm excited," GM Peace informed Fan 590. "I wanted to trade up to eight overall to pick him early, as I was certain Helsinki had done the research, and while the ended up picking a player I wanted in Spaz my top pick was still on the board. I tried to get the eighth pick so I could draft Graves there, and since Davos was being best-pick-available by the league, I knew Spaz would have been there at tenth overall as well. It didn't work out like that, but I got my guy where I had him on my draft board. He was going to be the first pick Toronto made regardless of whether we picked at eight or ten." Justin Graves entered the VHLM 'late' into the Season 70 draft class, and if he had joined a week later, he would have been one of the strongest prospects for the Season 71 class instead. His constant development has been impressive, and he'll be a core piece to Toronto's forward group by the time they enter their window of competition from the rebuild. Welcome to Toronto, Graves! @JDGraves

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan -- The long serving Saskatoon Wild GM - Rylan Peace - was seen packing his belongings this morning after retroactively being dismissed from his VHLM duties after being announced as the newest general manager of the Victory Hockey League's Toronto Legion a week prior. Yes, that is correct, Rylan Peace technically held the job of both a VHL GM and VHLM GM for a pay period, but it was an exception to the early resigning of Ryan Power while the Saskatoon Wild were still in the playoffs. "It's a wholesome moment for me, I think." Peace said in an exit interview with the Fan 590. "I spent a lot of seasons behind that office desk, staring at analytics, answering phone calls and looking for ways to improve the team as a whole; a warm memory, for sure, one that I'll look back on fondly in the years to come. I'm excited though, I'm moving onto a team in the 'big leagues' and looking forward to it. I remember a day where I said 'Hey, I'm not really interested in becoming a VHL GM', and that 'I enjoyed the speed and constantly changing environments of the minor system', but I think after serving as a VHLM GM for as long as I did... I'm kinda looking forward to more stable grounds to stand on, you know?" Rylan Peace concluded his career with the Saskatoon Wild by lifting the Founders Cup over his head alongside the best VHLM team in recorded indexed history. The Saskatoon Wild were beyond dominant, they were simply over powered, and unfortunately took a few losses near the end of the season that kept them from earning the best record in VHL history, or at least tying it. It was an extremely exciting season for Saskatoon players and management, and it was well worth the effort (we reckon) for everyone involved. Peace's career with the Saskatoon Wild is crowned by winning the Founders Cup in Season 63 as the interim GM (formerly an acting GM for the length of the season), followed by his second in Season 69. He came close in Season 66, loosing to a similarly matched Philadelphia Reapers team in the second round in five games, who went on to face an even weaker team in the finals. Rylan Peace's tactical was generally 'all-in' every three seasons, while taking time to rebuild assets between. Season 63, Season 66 and Season 69 were his most competitive seasons. It should be mentioned that Peace served as the acting general manager to the Saskatoon Wild, and didn't draft for the team, but did conduct the management aspects that improved it to a cup winner. He held one last press conference in the rink that had been his second home for seasons. "Today I step away from the VHLM, but another takes my place." Peace announced in a press conference hosted in Saskatoon's TelSask arena, home of the Saskatoon Wild, with the Founders Cup on a pedestal behind him. "While I move into a management position in the Victory Hockey League, I also have the honor today in announcing my successor as general manager of this hockey club. It's honestly a great pleasure to announce Saskatoon's AGM as the new general manager of the Wild. Elmebeck is a fantastic person, and he'll make an excellent general manager, and I'm excited to see the direction he takes Saskatoon." Peace admitted on Twitter later that day that he feels bad for leaving his former AGM with nearly no picks - save for the later picks in the upcoming and future drafts - and vowed to assist him when able, even if it meant flying back to Saskatoon to give a pep rally for quality free agents.

I'm glad I had the opportunity to work with you in Saskatoon, Elmebeck, I hope I was a good boss to you - a good mentor. I have full confidence that SSK is in great hands.

I'm absolutely excited for the future!

Sadly Toronto doesn’t have their own native picks in 71, so S71 is the beginning of the Killinger era in Toronto regardless of where Toronto truly finishes. Haha

May have to be revised in the future after some testing then. Lol

Wouldn’t Shawn Glade Jr have to be claimed at fifth overall since it’s Davos’ highest pick or is it any pick can be used to select your own player? @Beketov @Beaviss I see the potential for some serious exploration here.

@Beaviss since Peace retired, and Killinger isn’t a VHL player, I’m assuming this doesn’t apply to me?

Shawn would need to learn how to keep a core for a little bit before that happens, and stop trading his own personal players to cup contenders every time. ?

It should. Why is this league so against extending player careers? Gotta leave and push the boundaries of a comfort zone some time!

So would this mean player careers would also get extended to say tenor more seasons?

Appreciate the quick talks, @Enorama. Fish is inactive, and while I wish I could have gotten something more, I'll take what I can get.
