That's okay, Juice would probably be a better GM anyway.

Gotta make the commissioners earn their job pay.

Good luck, @Frank!

Can't wait to see that Mississauga logo turn into a Toronto logo.

McDagg was a good Legion, I'd have no complaints if that level was reached again.

So... a lot has happened in the last twenty four or so hours. I've admitted trading for Moreau and Fairchild was a move that I hoped would keep Toronto in the playoff bubble, and perhaps it would have if this season had time to mature beyond the seasonal 'we're really hot right now, and now we fucking suck' pattern we've had to frustratingly deal with the last three seasons, but after a few trade requests were made from some of my roster players it was time to just commit to the detonation of the Toronto Legion as you've seen it. The reality behind the Legions' reality is simple: I should have done this in the first place. Assuming I'm still at the helm, I suppose the S80 and S81 drafts will be interesting.

Don't mind the dust collecting now... 1. Toronto is in fire-sale mode. Do you think you'll be traded? 2. What do you expect from the S80 and S81 drafts? 3. What do you think of our 'sim luck'? 4. Which trade were you least expecting? 5. What would your reaction be if Toronto somehow made the playoffs? 6. BONUSES are on the table next off season... what would you like from the player store?

@GustavMattias I appreciate the quick talks! @tcookie I hope you find success with Davos, they're doing really well this season and I apologize for bringing you onto a team that is going through some STHS misfortunes. I wish you the best of luck and hopefully a deep playoff run; I appreciate the time and effort you put into being a Toronto Legion!

Riga receives: Mikey Harris Toronto receives: Jared Carter S80 RIG 2nd This trade had to be manually posted due to Harris' retired status on the portal. @hedgehog337 @Beketov @bigAL

[Insert STHS ramble.]

@Ricer13 Hey look -- no conditions! Thanks for the talks my dude, I'm happy to hear this helps out both teams in more than one way. Take care of Klam, eh? @hedgehog337 Fuck STHS, garbage sim. Amirite?

Condition to the trade: If Moscow's S80 first round pick is a top four selection, Toronto must send their worst available S80 second round pick. @Spartan Thanks for the feisty negotiations. @Frank When I acquired you I didn't expect to be playing musical teams on your behalf. I want to apologize for Toronto's unfortunate luck and I hope you make me regret this trade down the road. I wish you the best of luck with Moscow, but not too much luck... just against Toronto.

There is a condition with this trade: S81 second round pick becomes a third round pick (all from Malmo) if the Nighthawks fail to advance through their first round. @hylands Thanks for insanely fast trade talks, I hope this trade makes Malmo a champion. @fromtheinside This is the end of an era in Toronto; you're leaving, Giant was traded a few seasons ago and I dealt with the Welch situation quite poorly, but I seriously hope you find the successes Toronto couldn't help you discover. Your loyalty and understanding was a god send, I truly mean that. You deserve some STHS luck, so I wish you more than that with Malmo.

Great start for Toronto slides into a stumble through the middle of the VHL season; a repeating pattern that has once again surfaced for -- yet again -- a now struggling Toronto Legion team. I knew our start wasn't going to last, I think everyone realized we had to enjoy it while it was happening, but the constant loosing since then has been more than disappointing. The first ten games for Toronto were great, we went 7-3-0 and were an offensive team that was second to only the high scoring Malmo team. Fast forward the next eleven games and we've gone 2-8-1. The slide just feels routine now. This has gone on for season after season... after season. *Sigh*

1. What do you think about the Legions' season so far? 2. Any opinions on your players performance? 3. NA 'seems' to be stagnating. Which team do you think pulls away from this point on? 4. Were you surprised with our start or did you think we'd 'fall back to Earth'? 5. As a sim engine what are your thoughts about STHS? 6. How many wins do you think Toronto will finish with? @tcookie @rjfryman @Smarch @Toast @GreenGato @Ty343@fromtheinside @Frank @Dtayl

Saskatoon, SK -- Kyle Peace has quietly expressed his feelings about Saskatoon's modest countdown start to season seventy nine; he's overjoyed that every player on the roster contributed to Saskatoon's collective seven points in some regard, impressed at Montana's early dominance and disappointing with his own individual performance. The young SSK winger simply feels like he's not reaching the level of performance that should be expected from a first round pick, especially considering the roots and foundation that pick had growing up. "I've trained my whole life for this, yet I feel snake bitten and uncomfortable on the ice. I didn't have those feelings in Miami, but I can't seem to shake them here in Saskatoon." Peace stated; he leads the Saskatoon Wild with forty eight shots on goal but has struggled to register goals. His 4.17% shooting percentage is depressingly low for a volume shooter who averaged an exact ten percent with Miami. "I think the pressure might have something to do with it, my father was a legend in the community for quite some time. He scored ninety one points with the Wild and helped them bring home the championship back in sixty three, I wanted to accel above those accomplishments... well I guess just do more than he was able to do." Peace expected triple digit points, fifty goals and a celebration in downtown Saskatoon. Reality has kicked back hard. In his first game with Saskatoon -- a fairly convincing victory over Minnesota (6-3) -- Peace collected two assists on goals from Duncan Montana, who managed to register a hat trick in the opening twenty minutes. Despite the two point performance from Peace, none of his eleven shots found twine but certainly created rebounds that Montana used to build an impressive five point evening. Kyle obviously went back to the locker room happy that they won their first game of the season, his performance never in question as the team celebrated their opening win on home ice. Fast forward a plane trip and defeat to Yukon later that evening. Despite a 4-2 setback at the end of the first day of events, Peace had fired a total of twenty shots on goal and failed to register a single victory over either Minnesota or Yukon's netminders. A flurry of shots without a goal is frustrating, twenty shots without a goal is downright aggravating. The seed had been planted and continued to sprout well into the remaining four games we'll cover shortly. Peace would score his first goal against the Las Vegas Ace's, putting the puck behind LVA's Protagonist after firing a combined seven shots at the barraged goaltender, ultimately enjoying a two point performance in a dominating 7-2 victory for the Saskatoon Wild. Duncan Montana led the way with six points, followed by Dekster Jankowski's four points and Heavens' fifteen minutes for abusing an official 7:29 into the third period. It was a wonderful game to watch, but Saskatoon had Mexico to deal with next. Mexico established a growing pattern for Kyle, who went pointless in Saskatoon's contest against Mexico. The Wild destroyed the Kings on the shot clock, but the Kings' goaltending guided them to a 4-3 victory over the Canadian team, who had now gone 1-1-0 in their first two days of competition. Similar to previous games, Peace led the Wild in shot attempts and registered nine shots on goal, all defeated by Mexico's Greiss who saved forty of forty three shots and certainly earned the first star selection he never received. Day three. San Diego is visiting the prairie city of Saskatoon, falling to the Wild by the end of the morning. Despite a 5-3 victory for the club -- something he is always excited to share with his teammates -- another eight shots on goal never crept past the taunting red line; it's a fine line, that damned red goal line. Kyle finished the morning with a whopping zero points to show for the victory, although acknowledged Montana's continuing performance as he registered his second hat trick in just five games. Game six had Mexico visiting Saskatoon before flying home with a 5-4 shootout victory. It was the Kings second win over the Canadian franchise in just three games, although this contest was certainly a more entertaining back and forth between the two. The Wild 'improved' to 3-2-1 on the season, meanwhile Mexico climbed further towards an impressive 5-1-0 on the season; however, for Kyle Peace, this could be either the turning point of his early season frustrations or the growth of aggravation as the season continues. Unlike previous games Peace wasn't a volume shooter, he and Jankowski fed Montana throughout the game in an attempt to build off a then 4-3 lead before Mexico tied the game. Peace did wind up scoring the go ahead goal (3-2) in the second period after Jankowski won the faceoff, and perhaps the key to unlocking the tension is behind the play that developed. Jankowski won the faceoff against Deke Rike in the Wild's defensive zone, made a quick pass to Peace who skated through the neutral zone and into Kings territory. The play was building, Montana streaming down the right side and Jankowski had started to set up at center ice. The trio moved forward, the Kings' two defenders back skating to maintain defensive pressure. There was no passing lane, there was no drop pass to lingering Wild defenders to further develop the play. No, the play was dead. King forwards backchecking, defenders covering the passing lane, there was only one option. Shot. Goal. Something so simple has seemed so complicated for the winger forty eight shots into the season. Peace would be robbed by Kings' goaltender Greiss in the shootout, breaking his stick in frustration as he returned to the bench. "I've got to be better," Peace added to his interview; you could see the thousand yard stare overcoming the Wild forward. "I've got to be the forward they drafted me to be." "That's on me. A few more of those forty-whatever shots go in and maybe we're 4-1-1, or better. It's my responsibility to score goals for this amazing franchise, and I'm simply not doing it."

Yeah, yeah, that'd make way more sense.

I'd participate but honestly I've only been a member of London and Helsinki recently. With my previous player I was with Riga and Davos, but that was so long ago they're just echoes in the past. Couldn't fill this out accurately if I wanted to, but it's a neat idea.

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- A ticket to Toronto? Couple hundred bucks. Banter with his father? Priceless; the cost of a plane ticket just to practically guarantee a new era has dawned within the family was well worth it, according to the few unnamed rink staff eavesdropping on the occasional laughter. Kyle Peace arrived in Toronto the morning after the VHLM Dispersal Draft, met with his father at the Legions' Ricoh Arena and the duo discussed privately about the future of Peace Jr. and where it would take him. "I'm overjoyed," Kyle later announced; can't hide from media all day, son. "Saskatoon has been a special place for this player agency. My father won a championship there a blue moon ago, Killinger won with the record shattering sixty nine Saskatoon, and I'm eager to add another championship to this player agency. I'll do everything I can, anything I can really, but I know it'll be a challenge." Kyle Peace registered fifteen points in eighteen games with the Miami Marauders last season.

Here we go! 1. What do you think about our roster (compared to other NA teams)? 2. Who do you think will see the most improvement this season? 3. If you're comfortable making predictions... where do you think TOR finishes? 4. Do you think we make the playoffs? 5. Who do you think will be the leading goal scorer? 6. Who do you think will finish with the most assists? @tcookie @rjfryman @Smarch @Toast @GreenGato @Ty343@fromtheinside @Frank @Dtayl

If I had a neck brace that actually looks like fun.
