Viktor Mjers is currently a defender in the VHLM and is going into his second year after becoming a late bloomer in the VHLM last year with the San Diego Marlins. Ahead of his draft curve, Mjers released the following information which could prove very worthy to potential GM's at the VHL level: While I joined this league as a defender [he said], I have no concrete plans to stay here, and I am very, very versatile at switching positions for the sake of my success but also the franchises success as well. This means, if you have a hole to fill at center, or at left wing, maybe even right wing, and you need a top-tier player, do not count me out or let me slip because of it, because I will fill that need. Please note, this means I am delcaring for the S73 draft and, I will be here for anyone to select. That was all we got from him...

thanks Quik and all of the VHL for all of the work you do ! it does not go un-noticed!

V I K T O R M J E R S | D E F E N D E R | S A N D I E G O M A R L I N S DESCRIPTION Viktor Mjers is a stocky defender with a lot of upside and positivity in his play. Anyone who watches Viktor knows right away that he dawns from greatness and his abilities truly have shined since he joined the league. Though Mjers was a late bloomer to the VHLM, he was almost a point per game as a defensemen while being significantly behind in practice hours which really goes to show that he knows his stuff and his work ethic is truly paying off. Going into the Season 72 draft, he will leave the Marlins to go join a different squad who will hopefully have a shot at winning the championship and getting him the glory he is so desperately chasing at the minor level. Mjers is from Russia and is used to performing under strict regiments which translated to his game in the VHLM, something else to take note of is that he is the son of the highly coveted VHL defender Radislav Mjers who had many successes throughout his 8-year career including a couple of championships both at the VHL and VHLM level as well as some individual awards for his play. This is where VIktor is poised to be and will do whatever it takes to follow in the footsteps of his father at this time. PROS Scoring Ability - One thing that VIktor prides himself at, is his uncanny scoring ability which a lot of defenders really cannot compare with at such a young age. He has learned the ins and outs of putting the puck in the back of the net and this has caused him to get many goals from the blueline and secure his spot as an elite two-way defender. A lot of people do not see his shot coming as he does not need to wind up heavily before his shot and is very quick at getting the shot off, which is something that makes goalies uncomfortable but his coaches love it, as they can use this massive shot to get quick opportunities. Shutdown Defender - On the other side of the puck, Viktor is phenomenal at playing his position properly and really ensuring that no one is getting by him. His shots allowed against him becomes less and less which the goalies love because he will make sure to put his body in the way before allowing someone to shoot it on net. This also means he is incredibly good at shutting down the opposition when it comes to taking the puck and not really giving it away, causing his end of the ice to be his "fortress" of sorts. Passing Ability - While he is able to score, we cannot forget that his ability to pass is just as up there within the mechanics of being very good. Viktor has a keen eye for finding holes that other players may not even be able to pick out, and his long stretch passes with scary accuracy really makes him a threat on the breakout. Overall, if you want a guy that can find the open man and give them a chance to go out on a break, this is your man, no doubt about it. CONS Face-Off Skills - Obviously being a defender, his care/lack of care for face-offs is at an all-time low. While some scouts would love to see him raise this a bit in the future, while he continues his journey in the minors, don't expect it to raise. There has been rumors swirling however that he would be interested in making a jump to forward potentially in the near future, maybe during his pro debut, however this is all speculation for now, and so we'll keep this as a CON. Hitting - While he is very much a two-way player, his hitting game is again kind of a lackluster priority because he finds that it can cause more harm then good. Viktor loves to be in position at all times, meaning if he goes to throw a hit and things go south, he is now failing his position and not doing his job effectively. Expect him to be more into throwing hits potentially again in the pro league but for now in the minors, he just wants to do his thing and this isn't it.

Look at my boys go!!!

One way to improve a team, is to draft your team, but when drafting doesn't get the job done and there is still holes to fill, and plenty of playing time, the next strategy...is to recruit. And when the Marlins management team seen all of the influx of talent coming in around trade deadline, he went all in, putting all his money in the basket to try and fill those holes as best as possible, and the result was quite astonishing. The Marlins were able to nab four high-tier players, all of which should be near the top of their draft class, and they are the following: Jacob Tonn - Goalie - Starting from the goalie out, Tonn was added due to his agencies work ethic and ability to produce good players. A starting goalie who can almost max out during playoffs will be crucial for the run, and this will really help the Marlins chances to go deep as he continues to prove himself. Tyler Walker - Defender - As our second pick-up approached, Walker was added for a very similar reason to Tonn, their agency is known for producing elite talents with good work ethics and being that defense was a key need for the team, it was a no brainer to add him to the squad. Walker should provide some instant star power on the line and again referencing work ethic, you can't help but know he will be good for it Viktor Mjers - Defender - Based on positional need, and the fact that he is my player, there was a no brainer that aside Walker comes in Mjers, an elite defender who should follow in his fathers footsteps who is a multi-cup champion and various award winning defender in the VHL. Marshall James Frostbeard - Frosty and I have known each other since his ADing days, and have talked various times throughout our time in the VHL, it seemed fitting as a final addition to bring Frostbeard in, as his desire was to play with Walker on the same team. This proved to be easy once Walker was set to be on board, and it has been a masterpiece ever since. Overall, I am very happy with the recruitment drive and how it went for the team, now we just need to finish strong.

t's my final season ?

Hey all, Just gonna post here. I feel like there is a ton of good applicants but one stood out to me. His tenure was taken away from him, which is whatever, but I feel like he didn't deserve to not be AGM anymore, so please allow me to announce my new AGM @Viperxhawks19 who I know will be excellent for the job.

I'd like to start by saying thank you to @fever95 for constantly being around, active and happy to help out with the team. I am very happy we got to team up again with one another in the management pool and kick some butt. Unfortunately, Fever has told me he has stepped down for other commitments and I totally respect that. With that, I will be looking for a new AGM Out of respect to the Hounds GM needing to be found, I will wait until that is selected to make my selection.

I remember 701 being one of the first members I met on sim leagues. He was as you said a very stern person who spoke his mind but I think at the time that’s why we got a long so well. we talked a lot, he was a great person to shoot the shit with and he was a genuine human being, one of the real ones. this is a very heartbreaking time, you will be greatly missed Dave RIP until we meet again.

1. With the addition of the likes of Frosty, ADV, myself and MC, as well as most recently der, how do you expect the season to finish? 2. Who do you think will be the biggest impact player for the remainder of the season? 3. Do you think the team has areas of improvement? If so where, and why? 4. Will Tonn be able to keep up his hot start and bring us to victory? 5. What is the routine of your player, what does a pre-game ritual look like? 6. Making the playoffs, what do you expect from the team? Will we go deep or will our hearts be shattered?

@der meister say it ain't freakin' so, welcome back! I am the GM of the San Diego Marlins and we'd love to add you to our squad. We keep growing by the minute and we want to get better, and we know, you can make us better. I'd love to add you to the third line to start, but my main goal as GM is to reward activity, if you progress, you'll be rewarded for it. Come join the team, say hi to guys like Advantage and myself, and come have a great time!

Being an international hockey player always puts certain strains and criteria above the rest compared to some that are from the bigger parts of the world that are more known to "produce" talent rather than not. When it came to 17 year old Viktor Mjers, he was poised for greatness from the very get-go, with a little help from a superstar that paved the way for many Russians in the VHL, his father...Radislav Mjers. Radislav had gone on to begin coaching the HC Dinamo Saint Petersburgh in the MHL, which was a junior/minor league for players under 20 years of age. Here, many of the top talent from Russia would compete with over 30 teams in the league and more than four countries being involved. It was a huge tradition to become a top tier talent in the league and establish yourself quickly, and that is exactly what Viktor sought out to do. As a rookie, his father would teach him the ropes, his skating, his defense and his scoring ability was bar-none. He was becoming a two-way threat in the league instantly and this really made him an attractive piece for any team to consider playing for. With his fathers help, he would go on to achieve many awards in this junior year including rookie of the year, defensemen of the year and he would also lead his team in points for a defender which was something unheard of at such a young age, it was usually the overagers whom were really destroying the league, but this time, it was him. His totals for the season were 17 G | 44 A in 50 games. in his senior year, the year before he would go on to join the VHLM, he would get even better. His skating became faster, his passing much more accurate, his scoring and slapshot was just beyond comparison, people were really seeing what great coaching was doing to Viktor, and he was really enjoying himself in the league as well. It was at this point that he would establish himself as a piece that people wanted and would establish himself as something that people kept their eyes on. To end the season, he had 22 G and 55 A in 50 games, he had now set records that were likely to be untouched for many years to come and is likely going to be one of the best defenders in the MHL historybooks for a long, long time. Now a quick look at a scouting report: PROS: SKATING | DEFENSE | SCORING | PUCK HANDLING CONS: FIGHTING | DISCIPLINE | STRENGTH | FACE-OFFS This is pretty much a given for defenders, he is a top-notch two-way player, his only concern at the moment is his strength. While he is a big guy, Mjers is still adjusting to using his brute strength and force to attempt to knock people off the puck and keep people from knocking him off the puck. With this, he is going to be working on it but its not his primary focus at the moment. It still should not be a concern however, for him he is going to be a destroyer of the league, he is Russian after all.

hey @Poptart come to San Diego and make up some of the best defensive cores in the league. Let's do this thing, I just re-created as well, and we can be super elite if you come here as well. Max mins + PP and PK time, you down?

hey @FrostBeard We here in San Diego, would love to have you. I can guarantee you 2nd line mins right away to play with the very promising forward Jungkrok as well as give you PP time and possibly some PK time depending on your build. Come join a huge active crew who is a lot of fun and come help with a cup win

hey @Advantage and welcome BACK to the fun ranks of the VHLM haha. I'd love to offer you top minutes in the Marlins franchise, we're going for the cup, I just brought in myself and MexicanCow to beef up the team, we have some of the top defenders already in the league and our forwards are going off, so by adding you it will just make us stronger. Come help us win a cup!

okay fine, let's say Son

The Mjers name has not been heard around the league in some 30+ seasons now. The last time a Mjers heirloom entered the league, it was Radislav, a stocky two-way defender who won multiple championships, some awards in both the VHL and VHLM level and left on-top. After many different players under the "InstantRockstar" agency progressed through the league, one little lad known by the name if Viktor was slowly perfecting his craft. Now, as we're in the midst of the S71 season...Viktor has officially declared for the league and will make his debut in the next set of games for San Diego. Viktor followed his fathers footsteps, almost to a tee as he looks to begin his journey as a defender as well, and is quite a big fellow in his own right. From the small bits of scouting we've seen, VIktor learned a lot from his dad and is also expected to be a two-way defender in the league, which could prove crucial for any team looking for a top-tier defensemen. Keep your eye out for this one, because if he has any success like his father, than you've just found a star defender for the future.

1. We have dropped a bit in the standings to 5th place after 43 games. Do you expect us to climb back up to the top 3 in the final 29 games? As we have been signing players, I do think we can make it into a higher bracket, that is the goal is to remain competitive and push through to the finish. 2. We have a goal differential of +23 as a team. How satisfied or unsatisfied are you with that? It's great to see, and I think it will only improve as San Diego improves as well. 3. Alex Bridges continues to be our top point scorer with 91. How many will he finish the season with? I believe he could break 150 with this pace if he continues. He's on fire. 4. Jungkok is our top goal scorer, lighting the lamp 37 times. What will be his end of season total? At this pace, I am expecting him to hit about 60 if he keeps going, a tall task but a lot of games left to play! 5. Nikita Kulikovich is in contention for most points for a VHLM defenseman. Can he finish on top? With his dominating performance I absolutely expect him to finish as the top player 6. Who has been the top first year VHLMer in the league? Jung has been great for us, I'd have to say he's gotta be up there if he's still considered for it.
