Welcome @ocbeezilla, let me know if you have questions

Nice hard fought one. Gg Titans!

37 shots. Are you guys even trying?

Thanks to everyone that applied for this job. Sadly, I could only hire one of you to join @Banackock and I in the WJC Commissioner Team. For this season, we decide to give @BladeMaiden a shot at this! We think she will really shine in this job and will be able the promote the event on all media. For the others, and everyone else interested, the GM applications will open soon, so stay tuned for that!

Get the buffer up from 3 seasons to 5-6 seasons. So P2 is barely entering his prime when P1 is retiring. They would never dominate together but you'd always have a player in his prime.

Oh i didn't catch that. Well this helps a little bit.

You could still have a guy in his 4th and 7th or 8th season. If you cap week in week out, that's one guy at what? 800 and the other over 1000? Every season there would be at least one member with two stars, like Bushito right now. It would be easy to have both in contract years at the same time and have them both join the same contending team.

My thought as well. People would either have two 1000 TPE stars or one 600 TPE Welfare players. It doesn't make sense to give double the rewards for the same thing.

I think one thing it would help with is the lack of specialist players. Not many people want to spend 8 seasons as a defensive player or a goon. Having 2nd players could make it so members have one typical offensive playmaker or sniper and one uncommon less interesting build. But yeah, what the others said also. It would definitely cause mire problems than it would cause, and you'd need to basically double the teams to fit double players. So double the GMs, double the staff to manage everything and so on. Or you just crank the cap up and give more roster spots to teams, but some players would end up as career 4th liners or even healthy scratches, which would be very demoralizing for new members. I'd like to have a 2nd player myself, but it's probably just not viable with the current state of the league.

Welcome in the league, @expensivebaton. Hit me up with any question you got.

Riga 4-2

Welcome in the league, @Dylan Donald. Let me know if you got any question

If i did i would have said GL BUD SWEEP YA IN THE FINALS

Not playing Seattle doesn't help my blocked shots record chase. GET ON THEIR LEVEL GUYS

The last draft was one for the ages that saw a ton of impact players join good teams, that hope they can help them reach glory, and bad teams, that will need them for their whole 8-season career. Two of the players drafted near the top of the board are having very similar start to their season. Joseph McWolf (2nd overall, New York) and Sidney Crosby (4th overall, Helsinki) are both solid defensive defensemen that will inevitably work to round their two way game in future seasons. Despite their skillset suggesting they should be having a bigger defensive impact on their respective teams, both rookie defensemen are currently enjoying their time as their teams' blueline leader. While McWolf is paired with Bourdon on the first Americans pair, Crosby actually has to share the ice most of his shifts with HSK D1 (and HSK D2, and HSK D3, he's the only real dman on the team). In both cases, this means they have a whole lot of opporunities to perform and rack stats. Sidney Crosby (HSK). 17 GP, 0 G, 13 A, 13 PTS, -15, 73 HIT, 75 SB. Joseph McWolf (NYA). 16 GP, 1 G, 11 A, 12 PTS, -22, 72 HIT, 63 SB. These stats place both in the top 10 in rookie scoring (Crosby is 4th, McWolf is 6th), in hits (Crosby is 6th, McWolf is 7th) and, most of all, in shots blocked (Crosby is 1st, McWolf is 2nd). Saying both are getting a nice amount of shots blocked is an understatement. Actually, saying both are leading the shots blocked leaderboards would also be an understatement. To put it in perspective, the player with the 3rd most blocked shots, Joseph Bassolino, has 45 so far. 30 behind Crosby and 18 behind McWolf. To put it in another perspective, Crosby is in pace for 317 on the season, while McWolf is in pace for 283, which would ranked them 2nd and 5th on the all-time list. If their teams continue to do fairly bad and they continue to be strong presences in their defensive zone, they could both have a shot at beating Tyler Owens record of 325 shots blocked, set in the 37th season. Crosby and I Everyone is excited to see how this will end for the two young stars, both promised to a bright future. @SidTheKid87

1. How are enjoying your stay in the league so far? 2. Are you satisfied with your individual performance? 3. Are you satisfied with the team's performance? 4. In what round do you expect to be selected in the next VHL Entry Draft? 5. Any team you'd rather be drafted by?

Claiming for week ending on Nov 4

1. Store Manager seems like a rough job in the offseason. Are you happy to be done with it now? 2. How's Yukon doing so far? 3. Would you want to step up as a GM of a VHLM team after a couple seasons as an AGM? 4. How satisfied are you with Davis' start of the season? 5. Your Bears recently played a season worth of games against the Americans and you won all but 2 games. Do you feel for them?

Nice trade, guys

Thanks for applying, you guys. I'll send you all DMs shortly. And I'll keep the applications open fir another day or two, in case some others missed it.

Good season to you, Bears. It feels like we grew up and finally left the family home. See you next holidays, mom and dad.
