Oslo steals another @Laflamme

No. Good for Ahma, not hard feeling for that move. Dick move? sure. But enjoy the site and your time here. Only being a cunt and retiring Valmont. ? Kovalchuk will play somewhere else (fix the fucking smiley shit).

Player name: Maxim Kovalchuk Position: Defense Number: 44 Height: 6'2" Weight: 208 Birthplace: Sochi, Russia Kovalchuk? Does the name ring a bell? Ilya Kovalchuk? Ah, not for that reason - so the name likely rings a bell but not for the right reasons. While there hasn't been proven to be any relationship between the two, you could say the two are based off their amazing and incredible, elite talents on the ice surface. For Maxim Kovalchuk though, he's a man that holds down the blue line and manages to stay happy in one league. So you don't have to expect this guy to run away to another league because he's a money hungry twat whose loyal to his own country. Maxim is here to stay and he's here to dominate. For the Banackock agency, they did things pretty decent with Aleksei Federov on the blue line, but now with a little experience under their belt developing d-men in the VHL, we're expecting Kovalchuk to fully come out swinging. Where he lands is a mystery, but the young d-man already made it clear in a one post to Toronto GM that he has zero interest in going to Davos and has 100% intentions on sitting out if they feel the need to take him. Pretty ballsy for a new guy hey? We like it. For his skills, he very oddly doesn't follow suit of a d-men. You expect them to be pretty good defensively, but this is something he lacks. He's prided himself on being a shoot first, heavy offensive guy on the back end and that isn't about to change anytime soon. While his skills will slowly increase and he's likely to be developed into a two-way kind of guy, for the VHLM, we're expecting him to play strongly offensively and tally up those points. but for that, we'll need to drop him under the microscope a little better. Let's take a look, shall we? STENGTHS Scoring and shooting - It shouldn't surprise you as it's something he's heavily been focused on all throughout his career. The man has an amazing shot and this accounts for a lot of his goals. Now, if only he could clue in and start focusing on other shit, he could actually become a real offensive threat. Skating? Puck handling? That sort of shit. Loyalty - Despite shitting on Davos because he doesn't give a shit about their GM and would rather play for someone with higher nobility, he's a very loyal guy and if you land him and know what the fuck you're doing, there's a good chance he sticks with you for quite some time. Though, this can change, so be weary GM's. Not sure If he wants to fuck around and play on lots of teams and chase the cup or what yet. I'd stay the fuck away if there's better options IMO, but it isn't called a gamble for no reason. Eventually, PH - It isn't nothing yet, but he's focusing on other shit. Scoring was big, then skating and then, PH. Lazy right? Can't spell the word. How bout the word count? hehe. PH is huge for anyone that wants to be offensive and while I'm in the VHLM, fuck everything else. I want to win 0 of course I want to. LaFlamme and I are going to run this shit and hopefully crash Smarch's dreams, but it will all start with Kovy's offensive dreams. Weakness Defense - For a d-man, we expect a lot more than 45 or whatever the fuck he's at. Like, is he Ovechkin in his early days but a d-man sitting on his ass waiting for that chance to score? Dude, you're a d-man. Fucking act like one? Or not. He serves a purpose and knows his goal in this league. He'll grow and become a two-way player but at this current moment, it could likely be he biggest, positional weakness. Checking - Big boy, big body, little hits. This is surprising for someone of his size but other than Ovie and maybe the select few, what Russian can really hit and kick the fuck out of players? Probably a good question. This is probably another thing you can expect to go up soon as he wishes to be dominant but I wouldn't expect it "SOON" and more "SOONER RATHER THAN LATER". He's got other shit on his mind. Face off - He's a fucking d-man, so why the fuck would he have this? But, the ways of the rookie report wishes for you to talk about his weakness and if he has one, it's likely this. While he isn't hurting, he isn't fucking great and to be honest, anyone on Davos could beat him and other than a couple players, the rest are shit and the teams overrated. Kidding, but we're trying to start beef for a fun rivalry. but really, don't draft me. Either way, go the offensive way, crush the VHL and FO's are overrated. +8 Kovy

That would be greasy with all things considered. But yeah, any team but Davos. I'm the opposite of Ahma ?

We messaged you. Oslo offers: 1M.

Mats Johnsson - D Jasper Canmore - F You up. @Tagger

Twinger < Smirnov (though, the fact you don't add into FO will help you). Ironside << Kovalchuk (I'm gonna get you!) P.S Only team Kovalchuk won't play for is Davos (and doesn't care for Riga).

Maxim Kovalchuk is a name that abruptly took the VHLM by storm. Shortly after fellow Russian Vyacheslav Smirnov came forward with his eligibility, Kovalchuk followed suit and made his name known to the league. Both players come from Russia, are the same age and funny enough, played for the same teams while over in Russia. Alike, they also have both taken their new presence in the VHLM/VHL community very seriously and have come out of the gates flying. Though, currently, Smirnov is slightly ahead - we wouldn't say for too long as both players will be developing at the same rate for this week and will see both players - despite different positions, at the same skill level. For Kovalchuk, his goals are to be a dominating, offensive beast out on the blue line for the Oslo Storm this season and if he had it his way, he'll enter the VHL draft after the season and maybe be long gone and onto better thing. I like to score goals, man. What person that plays hockey doesn't like to score goals. It gets you pumped - like, fuck yeah. You're helping the boys out, padding your stats and looking good to everyone watching. I want to be that guy, that they can count on to come out big and really make things happen. Eventually, I'll fold into a two-way guy, but for now, I want those scoring titles for blue liners in the VHLM. Count me in on it because it won't take long for me to start climbing. Let's go OSLO! +2 Kovalchuk

He's a crazy Russian, and when we say crazy, we mean at hockey. Vyacheslav Smirnov officially announced his eligibility only 24-ish hours ago and is already off to a racing start. Quickly earning 70 TPE (30 start, 40 carryover), and then racing to another 33 VIA shit around the league, he's poised at getting in the VHLM, dominating and making his way to his new teammates in Seattle. Following being named to the leagues waiver lists, we seen him and Kovalchuk sign with the Oslo Storm, who of course, they both have ties with VIA their agent and both Oslo Storm managers. This is a big move for the organization considering they also managed to get the amazing, beautiful @Beerfridge who could lead the league in points this season. But, for Smirnov, what's his goals? "Well, this task here gets me the weekly 12. I want to be a dynamic force in the offensive zone, while also maintaining the ability to win draws. Though, currently for Oslo, it sounds like I'm going to be playing the wing - which is fine, so other areas rights now are my motive. This season, I'm looking for big things to happen and GM Campbell and @Laflamme I'm sure will treat me good and have me playing some decent, productive minutes. I think I've earned that, despite being in the league only a short while. I'm here to play big, play quick and develop into a strong player for both Seattle and Oslo". +2 Smirnov

Thanks for the offers. I really considered Yukon to win and not be that guy to go to one team with both guys - and gave OTT consideration as I like D_A, despite a weaker team. However, the team just landed Stronk - so we gotta keep getting stronger! Accept Oslo offer: 1M

Welcome, welcome. @Laflamme will be inviting you to the club shortly (bothering him on Discord now).

Oslo offers 2M.

Geeze. My last pick was Sunday.

Figured so. I may be that dick to go to OSL just to give Smarch a bit of a run for his money - I'll decide on this guy soon-ish.

Cant sign both in Oslo, right? Decidinf on you two.

Well grace us with one of them.

Holy fuck. How slow can these actually be? So easy..

We're both centres - so it's a race. See you there

Good work, man. Stud in the making?? @AndrewWarren13
