HALIFAX-- His palms are sweaty. Knees weak, arms are heavy. He's got vomit on his sweater already. Mom's spaghetti. At least, that seems to describe Anthony Rogers these days. Rogers rose to stardom in the management world in S64, serving as the head of the Halifax 21st for a season and a half before abruptly disappearing in the middle of S66 amid allegations of Satanic team activity, including but not limited to burning an effigy of a Houston player, sacrificing a goat during an intermission, and, most recently, revealing a new logo packed with hidden subliminal messages. Rogers didn't just step down--he disappeared altogether, and could not be located by even close friends or family until earlier this week, when he was seen in a poor mental state at a Halifax bar. "I was sitting right next to him for 20 minutes or so before I even figured out who he was," says Jack Hoover, a local patron. "He'd gained about fifty pounds, his hair was a mess, his hands were shaking, and he was talking to himself quite a bit. I didn't hear much, but I know I heard the phrase 'sneaky little hobbitses' in there somewhere." Rogers' appearance was confirmed by the bartender, who "did a double-take" at his ID that night. Though he confirmed that he is still living in Halifax, Rogers declined to answer further questions. Welcome back @McWolf

Hi motz

Hey...five Hounds. Good to see the representation from my team yet again!

If you're curious, just type "Callum MacElroy" into the search bar and read any article I've written... We'd love to have you @mollymcdeath, but even if you don't sign with the Hounds, good luck!

Hi @Jimbo75 and welcome to the league! I'm GustavMattias, GM of the Mississauga Hounds, and I'm here to offer you a spot on my roster. First off, I can tell you that we won't be a good team this year, but we're also "not good" enough that we don't have a center at the moment, so...we need our players, and you'd be right on the first line, with ice time wherever we can give it to you. If this sounds good, feel free to quote my offer and say "accepted" to hop on board. And, no matter where you go, good luck, and don't be afraid to ask questions. -Gustav

@McWolf I can't wait to start writing stupid articles about you again... Welcome back though! Good to see.

I like this trade from both perspectives. Esso inherited a bit of a burning mess, and he's at least getting some future value out of Kingfisher before he retires. Meanwhile, Vancouver is a serious contender with a good goalie, and this is a significant improvement if they want to make a push this season.

DAMMIT @berocka STOP POSTING BEFORE I FINISH TYPING Just kidding, you're doing great. Keep it up!

Ooh you fast. Was in the middle of typing my message out. Well done on the recruitment.

To add to this, last season we signed an Alexander Shaw, so this could get interesting...

Everyone who has been selected already is listed in a post in this thread. For example, in my post, you can see that I've picked Podrick Cast and Alexander Pepper. Unfortunately, there's no way to see who's been taken other than to look at everyone's posts. For example, you go to the portal like Bush mentioned, and let's say you decide that you want to pick Kronos Bailey. You'd have to go back and check to make sure he hasn't been picked yet here (and, in this case, you can see he has, if you look at .sniffuM's post). The picks are updated periodically by Bush, and you'll be able to see them at the top of page 1 of the thread when he does update them, but you still have to go through and make sure that nobody you're thinking of has been picked anyway, because Bush isn't here every second of the draft to write down every pick as it happens. Also, important note--you get to pick two players here. Pick two, and then tag FBR.

I have a feeling I'm going to regret this, but...Podrick Cast. Also, I assume I'm picking again if we're having a snake draft? In that case...Alexander Pepper. @.sniffuM

There needs to be a team in Spain called the Inquisition. Nobody will expect it.

@berocka The top was my original, looks better on a darker background. The bottom is edited, looks better on a lighter one. Whichever is the background for judging, I'd like to use the option for that. Thanks motz!

Good to see a good Greene sig, after I went out and didn't make one this season...one of these days it will happen.

Interesting. I don't know a single VHL player last season and I come in 2nd in a pool of VHL GMs and vets, and this season I'm one of the most active in the pool and get 4th. Funny how these things work out.

I'm not about to con anybody! Good to hear it's appreciated.

Hi @Banana2311 and welcome to the league! I'm GustavMattias, GM of the very team of which your recruiter, @berocka is assistant GM. While I can tell you, for certain, that we won't be winning any cups this season, and I expect us to be not that good, I can tell you that we're in need of a goalie, and you'll immediately be our goaltender should you choose to sign with us. If you'd like to come aboard, just quote this message and say "accepted"! And no matter where you go, good luck, and don't be afraid to ask questions. -Gustav

MALMO--The Nighthawks' experience this past season was disappointing to say the least, but that didn't stop the team, and their new class of players, from having a good time Wednesday night, as several of the team's players were spotted at a local bar. Good times were had by all, until defenseman Rusty Shackleford was breathed upon by new callup MORPHEUS DESTRUCTIOUS. "I don't know, I guess I just got a bit too close to him," said Shackleford from a hospital bed Thursday night. "He kinda leaned over and breathed fire all over me, and now here I am." "We were all having fun playing 'Drink the Beer,' our favorite party game," said forward Matthew Materazo, "but then Shack caught on fire and we had to tranquilize MORPHEUS and that was that for the night." Meanwhile, DESTRUCTIOUS declined to offer an apology for his actions, although he did acknowledge that he was told not to "DEVOUR SOUL OF LITTLE MAN IN SAME COLORED SHIRT" by team management after the incident. Shackleford is in stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery by the start of the season. Mentioned: @K1NG LINUS @Matt_O @Abaddon

@Radcow can we get a yeetdab for this Hounds legend

I'm back for my third week here. I actually did an article over in the EFL to take advantage of their media week this week, but my ego is too big in this league to claim affiliate welfare.

Congrats to my man @HulkHogan! Mississauga is taking over the league.
