    After being deemed to dangerous to be left in the VHLm Genghis Khan is making his way to the pro leagues. That's right VHL, watch out.
     
    Khan is looking to put an old myth to the test. After hearing that players in a different league were able to become in elite in an extremely short period of time simply by focusing on puck control, shooting and positioning Khan has built his entire training regiment around those three tenants. Will his plan be fruitful in creating a career with minimal effort? Time will tell, but as of right now it's clear that he's a prime scoring threat. The manager of the New York Americans informed him just hours after signing that his shot is so dangerous that he'll be playing the point on the power play this season. In my opinion that's an excellent spot for Khan to be played. Just by looking at his stats you can see that Khan is the kind of player you want to have shooting the puck regularly. Every season his goals scored have been on pace with his assist numbers, and in S77 he scored 53, that's not a typo, 53 goals and 50 assists. You're not going to find a higher offense player than him with so little time put in at practices or the gym.
     
    So what's Khan going to be working on this season? Defense. His shot is already top notch, it's time to learn the professional level of play's systems to make sure he's in the right spots to break up plays, create odd man rushes and be in prime scoring position as often as possible. You're never going to see him laying the body or killing penalties but by golly Khan is going to create offense in every way possible even if it means blocking a few shots to send the puck back up the ice.
     
    Where does Khan fit in on New York? Firmly on the 3rd line. And to be honest, he's fine with that. Before this signing there were talks that Khan could be in limbo without a team to play on. Word is that there were several factors that led to Khan ending up in New York though. To start with, Khan's agent had put a public release on social media essentially begging GMs to find a spot for him on their rosters and in their accounting tables. Not exactly a great place to be in terms of leveraging dollars but if that's your only option you have to use it. The VHL front office noticed that there were in fact more than a few players in the same position as Khan though and opted to apply pressure to GMs to start filling out their rosters behind 1st and 2nd lines. With that came a less interesting tidbit of information but a neat little factoid nonetheless. It turns out that Khan actually has a family tie to the New York Americans through their GM. Have you heard that nearly 8% of people are genetically related to Genghis Khan? (https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/mongolia-genghis-khan-dna)  Well who would have thought, but the GM @Esso2264 is actually a long decedent of his. Try telling the ruthless and maniacal conqueror of Asia whom you're related to that you don't have room for him. Yeah, yikes. Finally Khan happens to be very good friends with ex-teammate in the VHLm @Shiny. What a whirlwind of factors that led up to this signing.

    What should we expect from Khan in New York? Goals. Lots of them. We'll be watching closely to see how all of this unravels.

    1. After a relatively good start to the season we've been in a bit of a skid, what do you think we need to change to get out footing back?
    - WALTER needs more ice because he’s the goat
    2. What's one area of your game you think you need to improve?
    - my scoring abilities
    3. With 19 games under our belts, S68 2nd overall pick Lance Flowers has shown his ability to hang with the pros. How does it feel playing with one of the most prolific picks of the S68 draft?
    - it makes me all sticky and sweaty
    4. Who do you think has been our season MVP so far?
    - walter
    5. The D.C. Dragons and the Prague Phantoms have been scraping the bottom of the bowl all season, do you think they will break out of the bottom 2 spots by the end of the "year"?
    - no because they smell bad
    6. The program recently tacked on a new AGM to upper management, is there anything the players want to see from him?
    - i want to see his nudes

    1. The VHL draft has come to a conclusion, seeing a plethora of new faces join the Americans, most notably first round picks @Velevra and @JohnOQuinn. How do you feel we made out.
    - picking up someone like velevra, i feel like we did did awesome. velevra is an amazing active user and will help lead the way into the future.
     
    2. FA ended with a distinct lack of contracts being signed with the Americans, how do you feel this impacts our upcoming season?
    - i dont know because i dont know anything about this league i just know that i signed for 4 years so thats 4 more seasons of mediocre walter play
     
    3. The off-season is coming to a close, and rosters look pretty set in stone. How do you predict the season to pan out across the board?
    i think we will continue to build off of last season which was definitely an improvement
     
    4. Who do you think has the biggest offseason this “year”?
    new york because i dont know the name of the other teams
     
    5. What was the biggest surprise from the VHL draft in your opinion?
    i dont know who was in the draft besides the two people we drafted so im gonna say the fact that we got both of them
     
    6. What’s your boldest prediction for next season (player awards, team positions, etc.)?
    walter wins mvp
