@Jubis this is amazing thank you sooooo much !!!

Review: There is a definite feel to this graphic, cool and modern. I think this follows suit of most of your usual graphics and has that classic Jubo style and I love that. It is like you stamp your name on everything you do just by having your own style and that is something we all should strive for. The Logo swap is clean and it is fun to see you tie both Halifax and Helsinki into this one with the text. My on e piece of criticism is that the face of the render seems a tad dark but it could also be a stylistic choice so I can't say much on that lol. All and all it is nice seeming a VHLMer get some love from their VHL GM, just give me the good feels. 9.5/10 because pobodys nerfect @Jubo07

It has been 24 hours since I originally tagged @Thranduil. @Hylands i am now selecting Mikko Lahtinen FW this means @Hylands you are up with one pick. And Thran can catch up when he can.

@Thranduilyou have 2 picks to make (this is your 2nd ping)

D - Lincoln Tate @Thranduil

@gorlab some people would say be careful for what you ask for but I for one am happy to see you revved up and ready to go. You know what they say about busts.. they bigger they are the better, I'm just gonna rock my Big Bust status (you forgot to add the big in there Gorlab...). Thightrap may or may not power bottom her way to the top but I will continue to have fun regardless, you know that is just how I roll. Thanks for the compliment sandwich and I'm glad to see that if i poke the bear it wakes up (I think this is what the kids call getting woke lol)

@Emi

@Jayrad28 It is so crazy how time passes, I can say with all honestly that you were one hell of a player to have as a GM and an even better teammate in Prague for Bricks last two seasons. You stepped into my LR with an open mind and were truly a fun person to be around. Thanks for the kind words, and congrats on making it all the way, you are a beast

Why 3rd Isn't Bad... A little bit about why coming in 3rd hurts less by someone who was recently selected 3rd overall in the S74 Draft. Now I am not here to say that being a first overall draft selection is not one of the highest compliments a person can receive in any league really. I have had my share of being selected in the top slot and I must admit it does feel good to know that General Managers, who are generally key members on the site see your worth as person. Whether it is your sparkling personality, propensity to rack up that TPE or in some rare cases both, being that must grab member is a form of validation that not many people receive. That leads to my topic today, does being selected in the top ten or so not pay you the same compliment? I could write a whole article on why getting second in anything just stings, to be so close yet so far can be a something that stays with you for a while. When you go at third you pretty much know that you can fall anywhere, as the free fall feeling sets in after the first two names are called. Any pick both could and could not be you, depending on what the General Managers are looking for. That is why I personally prefer to know I’ll drop and go to the team that really wants me, that values what I can bring to the table and I can invest in for the long haul. For every player from first to last there are pros and cons, and it is just who I am as a person to disregard the numbers and want to see people go where they will be happy. If for some reason you did go lower than you thought, all I can say is this, you have the chance to really show the league how smart the GM is who grabbed you, because lets be honest at the end of the day so much matters more than draft position. To @Beaviss and the Vancouver scouting system @Emi, thanks for having faith in me and all the wolf pups acquired this season, from our very first to our very last you can tell that the picks were meticulously selected . Much love Blade

Welcome to another AGM asks! Thanks for the questions @Emi 1. What is something you're looking forward too for the coming season? It will be exciting to see where I fall on the lines, I am hoping to be a main contributor to our team. I look forward to seeing what going pro does to my stat line. 2. Who would you say you're best friend not on Vancouver is? Do I have to pic one ? I consider quite a few people close friend and i would rather not choose one over the others :3 3. What does your players number mean to you? 13 is my inside joke of sorts, to a lot of people it is unlucky but I like a challenge. Give me all the bad luck and I'll still push through. Venus Thightrap doesn't let anything get in the way of what she wants, so move or be moved. 4. What are your predicitions for next season? Personal or league wide (Standings or your players stats) I'm predicting a Helsinki Vancouver final...Might be crazy but anything is possible lol 5. You've been control of the teams Twitter account for a Ask me Anything.... What is one question you hope wouldn't come up? Do you live up to your last name? ( I wouldn't put it past people to ask me if I really an a Thightrap...) 6. Do you think we could do more to help you as players? Only thing I noticed so far is we don't have a team tag, it is useful for letting all the members know that press conference questions are up and even a nice thing to have available in case someone writes a team article and wants to tag the team in it.

@Emi @Riley_Couture A little bit of Vancouver pride, congrats to you both on your recent draft

I’ll run a group again if we still need ppl, sign me up

The "Fe"nomenal Future of the VHL. The presence of female players has been felt throughout the many generations of VHL. I think arguably that now is the true renaissance of the female player. What started as a trickle has cascaded into a wave of healthy vivacious female players ready to take the VHL by storm. Now as I said before it is not that female player have not been around since the dawn of the VHL. Quite the contrary as even in the early years you can find examples of females in the league and thriving. the difference now is the sheer number of female talent that was present in the VHLM this season and that will be drafted into the VHL in the S74 draft. You might be asking why is this such a big deal? Like why even care that there are record breaking amounts of females players on the verge of taking the VHL by storm? The answer is quite simple.. because the VHL is on the verge of a lot of firsts when it comes to female talent in this volume. I'm talking about the possibility of an all female line, it already happened in the VHLM on Houston this season and the VHL could be just around the corner. The even more exciting part is we have some heavy hitting high TPE earners that know how to build that are repping with lady players. This could mean seeing female players

@Jubo07 Valtteri Vaakanainen in his full grown up glory ... look at that flow lol

@OrbitingDeath I Love this so much, the shades of grey (or black and white) aesthetic is fantastic. This is going to be my sig, I just need to flip some things around Thank you so much

I didn't know you were going to do all this when you asked what i used for the render, you sneaky marvelous man...I notice she in in Helsinki colours ... lmao Thank you so much , this made me smile and i love the play on the periodic table it is an amazing touch :D
