sounds effective. I dig it!

Not too shabby, man. I like the reflection like thing you got going on in this.

1. Blake Campbell was the hardest. I don't overly regret it as I would have been on shit teams as the influx of goalies was already crazy. GM's wanted young guys, not ones closer to their "time". His was the worst though. Federov will be my first player ever to reach his actual "retirement" date ? 2. Tough question. I know Seattle was in the mix, but I don't actual'y think it would happen. If and when it ever became a potential reality, I would nix it prior and offer to relocate etc wish I know would help. I love the Helsinki name, logo etc but I would say them, Quebec, Riga or Calgary. More leaning towards Riga. 3. Another great question. I love both leagues and I love GMing Seattle. I'm very fortunate to have been able to and to finally win cup too. I don't know how long I have left as a GM, but I feel as though I'd regret stepping down if it was done now so my time clearly hasn't come. Could be in a season, could be in 5. I know I want 500 wins in my career and to hold some form of Bear records. First cup in like 16 seasons is nice and it's one of very few. I love contributing to the site as a GM. It's my way of helping members out and boosting activity. I feel as though I thrive in the role. I'm currently the Assistant, or Co GM of the Oslo Storm and am helping the younger guys out. I like to stay active with new members and shit. I feel as though a break may be needed for a season, but I'd find myself back into the VHLM or VHL sooner rather than later. Though, I feel out of shape in the VHLM talking with GM's. It's been almost 20 seasons since I was in it. CRAZY. 4. I'm gonna say yes. It's time to give the guys a great succeeding home. They deserve it. It's the best move for Seattle. We've had great success and up until later in this year, the group of guys were extremely involved, active and loving it. It'll be tough to move them, especially a couple of them. 5. Shit. That would require me to have to go back into the vault and take a look. Just going off the top of my head, the deal that brought in Parechkin @DollarAndADream really helped out the team. Last year, the way we juggled the cap, made some moves and still won the cup was good too. Another memorable deal for me was bringing in Jakub Holik @Beketov. He's likely still one of my most favourite goalies to play in this league. More recently, bringing in Johnsson @Quik was something that boosted us big time. I think it was a move that boosted us quite a bit. We may not agree 100% of the time, but Seattle has benefitted in more than one ways from having a member like Quik on the team. IMO, I think some of my better trades could be coming this off-season. Time will tell

lol no. @jRuutu has to come back to SEA. He has unfinished business with us.

Welcome back. Glad to see your back. You've been here before - straight forward and have an idea but if you got some Q's, I may have some A's.

Clearly, his heart has already found a home. @Donno100 sweet, unique work. I love seeing Bear stuff role through the graphic sections. Keep up the amazing work. We have a future stud in the making here @VHL

What Donny said!

hehe. @Poisoniic sweet name, though. IMO, maybe take out of FO but it's your player ? May be other important shit right now though - though, would be sweet to have a winger that could do both. Opens the door to more for GM's. If you need help, fire me a message.

@Evans 1. Inactive again, hey? 2. What are the chances of you making another come backs come back of a comeback? 3. Recreate? if so, with what player? 4. Are you gonna respond to this if you log on? 5. Are you going to come back?

1. What can we expect from your next player? 2. How are you finding the VHL now? More interest? Activity? 3. What do you think, in changes, would largely help the VHL? 4. Can we expect to find you taking on a GM role again sometime soon? 5. What do you think, in changes, was something that harmed the league? @ADV

@Green 1. We may as well get your some questions to earn some easy tpe, eh? 2. Thoughts on Warlocks season this year? 3. Thoughts on the trade sending you to DAVOS? 4. Thoughts on Quills season and moving to defence? 5. Thoughts on Seattle's chances at one last cup?

@Exlaxchronicles 1. Thoughts on your season? 2. Thoughts on Quebec's season? 3. What should we expect from Kiaskov next season? 4. Do you think Quebec makes playoffs next season? 5. What do you think the Meute need to add in order to really contend? What moves need to happen? What do you think happens?

1. Thoughts on your season? 2. What you thinking about round 1 VS Calgary? 3. What do you think Davos brings next season? 4. Next seasons predictions for your team and yourself? 5. Will you stay with one team your whole career? @Lucky 2 Times

@YayIWin While you've been deceased for some time on the VHL, your enthusiasm and shit was there. If somehow, this post makes you come back, I encourage you to get back on this, kick some ass and yada yada.

I think we've got a good player on our hands here. Was nice to see you come back. You're a big member full of experiencer and wisdom and it's always great to see a comeback from quality members. I think if you stick with it, you'll have a pretty decent player on your hands. Time will tell I guess, but I'm gonna say you're a great role player who averages somewhere around a PPG. That's just guessing though as the sim surely has a lot of randomness and fuckery.

There they are!

Surprising win! Expected more from CGY with the big assets brought in. I like the look of this series though. Could be a little preview of what will come in the future.

I'll send lines in the earlyish afternoon.

1. Based off overall successes and what not, maybe a 7. We've had some great success and finally got that cup. For longevity, rebuilds and all the work and such i put into my players (and all those who have stated they're here for me etc), I'd say 7.8. I'm not too sure if that's too harsh on my self. I feel like ive been a great, charismatic GM but am trying to realistically rate myself. 2. False, but also true. Everyone has their own prices. You ask for a player whose untouchable on another team and the price is crazy. Same here. You ask for their top guys or others and sometimes they value them more than you for different reasons. Team needs, cap, team positions, the person etc. I've strayed away from the consistent contact and have found more patience in my ways as I've matured into the role as a GM in the VHL. 3. I love being GM. Do I wish i could enjoy the league? Of course. Additionally, the critics at times got to be a lot, however and again, with experience and maturing. In the role you look passed that - know people talk and it's fair and reasonable and at the end of the day do what's best for the guys on the team. I'm going to miss GMing a lot when i step away and fear as though I may regret that action. I have some left in the tank. Unsure how much but Yeah! 4. It would make it more interesting but at the end of the day I see it only best for it to come from the league expanding, proper and effective retention and clearly, a large member and player base. If those come, so will greater FA's. 5. 3/10. Lots of people joined, most left. We did gain some decent members but even those aren't what you'd consider great (some may be, most aren't). We got the right idea. I'm not bashing. We found a significant and great way to recruit. Now we need to find the cure for retention. 6. Didn't watch it but she's hot. Good for him! 7. I will once I eat and shower. Long day working in the rain and hail

praise the hockey lord

Good game. Close as always.

cool

Yeah real good game from them! DA KING also
