  1. My man, you are talking directly into my soul My biggest issue since day 1 is the VHLM is a faux development league. The commish and all the GMs claim it's pure development, but that is absolutely not the case when there's a disproportionate amount of waiver signings and draft pick trading. Yes, I do agree that bringing members here from other sites or outlets means they should sign with your team, but we've seen with quite a few teams, that their first-gens just follow their lead when it comes to position and build, and that's why the same teams are competitive every year and magically have a million waiver signings. Also a magical coincidence that all these players go inactive after they win a VHLM cup and move up to the E. Not to bring this up again, but I definitely am. We recently had an issue where I had a player set to sign with me, I even said PUBLICLY, "I'm at work but in a short bit ill send you a contract when I'm home." I come home to not only find out that they chose not to sign with me, BUT THEY CHOSE DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE ANOTHER VHLM GM TOLD THEM MY TEAM SUCKED. I'm not gonna go off about how good my team is, but we were in first fucking place, it's absolutely unacceptable that another authority figure would influence someone who doesn't know any better like that. I also find it appalling that said GM only got a slap on the wrist, especially when this GM has started controversy previously. I mean, how is it any different than tampering? On the topic of Halifax getting so many waiver signings, I'm 110% certain there are behind-the-scenes conversations between GMs and waiver players. I do not think it's a coincidence that the same teams have the most waiver signings season in and season out. I've changed my waiver pitch, and I've even offered first fucking line minutes on a competitive team, and you're telling me every single player is magically ok playing 3rd line on a middle-of-the-pack team? Bullshit. So yes, I agree wholeheartedly, this league has to pick a direction, either admit that we don't care about development or take steps that don't handcuff the teams that aren't blessed with 15+ waiver signings a season

    I honestly thought I might've played with Prague my whole career. Sad to leave, especially after great memories like that finals run a bit ago. Will miss Prague no doubt Time to win a cup in Malmo!
  5. This summer marks 5 years since I joined the VHL. Crazy because that's only a fraction of how long the league has been around. Hell, I've met some people who weren't even alive when the VHL started, what a crazy thought. It's kinda cool seeing what's changed in our lives since joining. I much like Bek was still in highschool, never kissed a girl and hadn't done much in my life. And don't get me wrong, 5 years is not that long in the grand scheme of things and there's more for me in-store, but it's cool looking back on the person I was 5 years ago knowing that I'm still GMing Halifax or still figuring things out
  6. Congrats Ottawa! Hold your heads high Mexico, you'll be back
  7. Despite HFX finishing 7th and it looking like an easy win for OTT, I'll say the series was a lot closer than it looked. 3 of the 5 games were 2 goal games with two of them being decided in OT. Helluva ride even though we lost
  8. Seattle for life, take it all the way!!
  9. Dang, HFX doesn't have an AGM rn.........................
  10. I understand this is serious and a failure on GMs alike, but i couldnt help but chuckle at this fact
