Can always respect these posts vs simply going MIA. You have been one hell of a GM and a person. Our talks were always simple, whether they went somewhere or not, you always held yourself to such a great standard as GM. Good luck with whatever life throws as you next

So you're telling me that the money I've been sending Josh to help with "league improvements" has just gone to this embezzlement scheme? Gosh darn it!

Always hate moving on from players that have made an impact on the team, however in a complete rebuild, it's only fair that @Bobcat gets a fair chance at competing as we won't be ready in time to make one last run before retirement. As it always is... thank you @Frank for the increasingly easily discussions we always tend to have. And best of luck to you & Vancouver

Always a tough decision to let go of two absolutely lights out players, especially when you draft one of them and have them the entirety of their career. I have so much respect & joy for both of you @JetsGoalie101 & @RileyL and I wish you both nothing but the best on your contending ventures with Vancouver! @matt sovick & @silentnyrf31 I was heavily intrigued when the possibility of you joining LA became a reality. I really look forward to working with both of you and hoping to help make your time in the league as enjoyable as possible! @Frank & @Gaikoku-hito a pleasure as always, never difficult to discuss a deal Good luck with the Wolves and keep my LA boys safe

Happy to help on the GFX side if I'll be actively used for the role

Going into a rebuild, trying to gain all the assets I can while giving those guys who are wanting to win, a chance to do so. Good luck @twists and thanks @KaleebtheMighty as always for the smooth talks

Awesome job as GM @Acydburn and congrats on your tenure. Glad to see you're not stepping away from the league completely.

I don't like playing bots, so this helps remove (hopefully) some of the minutes being used up by bots. Thanks @Frank nice & easy

Last season, I got to retire one of my best friends in the league, and one of my favourite users I've gotten a chance to interact with. This time around... another amazing user, great friend and just overall amazing person that spent the entirety of their career attempting to bring a cup to LA. During their tenure, they had such an amazing impact on the team, and was easily a top blueliner for the franchise throughout. At the end of his tenure, this player became captain and lead us to what would be easily one of the most memorable runs we'd have as a franchise, and while we fell short, I felt so proud of the efforts made and the contributions from this player. Without further ado... I raise one more into the rafters..

I'm on this list way too much hahaha. I feel old

Accepted. After clearing my head through the off-season and shaking off what could've been, I'm happy I was finally able to make something happen and give this team everything I've got for what will likely be our final 'competitive' season for a bit with all the retirements. Could not be happier to add such an outstanding member & player such as @twists to the franchise. Thank you @Spartan for the quick & easy dealings, and best of luck to Moscow.

Always sad and disappointing to see a tenured, and very respected GM step down. We've had a lot of fond memories while GMing together but furthermore, always a positive & pleasant experience even before I became a GM. Have to say a huge hats off to you for everything you've done with Calgary and even your prior GMing experience at prior levels. Good stuff to you, for recognizing yourself that the time just wasn't there anymore, going out YOUR way, vs being 'taken' out of the role. Enjoy some more of your free time, and I suppose never say never to a return to the reigns? Best of luck with IRL stuff! I know you're not leaving, but hopefully all goes smooth.

I can offer my gfx services to make someone a graphic of their choosing. Can be a desktop background, league graphic or even a social graphic, whatever someone wants

1. What do you think of the teams performance now we close in towards the trade deadline? Still smack dab in the middle of the pack, not a bad place to be, especially with only so many teams making it. Would've liked to see some deals made to improve the team at TDL but such is life. 2. Should the team make any moves, perhaps brining players in or trading some away? Most teams are overflowing with talent so I understand why moves weren't going to be easy to make. 3. What do you think of your players start to the season so far are you performing above or below expected? It's ass, really disappointing honestly but it seems like the E Is just too full, despite the league feeling it necessary to contract, teams are just overflowing with similar players, making it impossible to stand out. 4. Have we got it in us to win another cup and complete the three-peat and who is our biggest challenger? I'd like to see it happen being I'm only in the E one season, would be nice to win a cup before I move up. 5. Are any players in the league surprising you so far perhaps in a good or bad way? Not really one way or the other, other than my player. Very harsh and my own critic when it comes to my performance, just not been happy with it. 6. If you could pick the lines and ice time what set-up would you do for our team? I may try some suggestions we get! Active players to the top imo. Guys who are earning max, etc should be outplaying older players who aren't earning max and have been on the team for 3-4 seasons and just aren't really earning. Just my observation...

Last season, a sweep by Prague ended the hopes of LA fans, staff and players in one big blur. One minute, it looked like LA may actually win their first ever championship, the next minute... pain & sadness. This season, LA continues to show their 'dominance' as they are on pace to end first or second in the NA conference, however looking over at the EU conference, they know that their arch nemesis now in Prague, along with a few others like the leading Riga Reign are going to be a hard few teams to combat. LA also looks to have another contender for MVP this season, while captain Todd Cooke was the MVP last season, this season it is seemingly going to be Sunglasses Joyo if he continues at the pace he's currently been performing. All we know, is that the playoffs are one hell of a beast and the regular season seems to be mean absolutely nothing until you get to the finals. LA is going to continue to do their best to dominate, then dominate through each of their playoff opponents until reaching the very end. But this season.. this is the one GM Z. Gagnon is saying will be the one, and he's destined to achieve 'greatness' before reaching the possible end of his tenure.

Couldn't be more proud of this group! Always striving for success!
