Welcome!

I wanna pitch in cause being directly involved with what's already being brought up, I feel I have a strong say in this This whole new job being proposed is pretty much null if VHLM GM's just get more involved in developing the players they have. It has been and likely will be exactly that too, the VHLM GM's have a responsibility to help guide these new players to being successful in the league as a whole, and if they are incapable of doing that then they're failing at their job. The M is a development league first and foremost, and it falls solely on the managers of the teams to grow players and guide them. Making a whole new job because the GM's & AGM's of the M don't want to do their job is a rather nuclear option, and is quite easily solved by encouraging them to do exactly that, or getting people into those positions that will. It's really that simple

tf are you talking about lmao

THEME WEEK: Commish for a Day: McAnisimov Edition If Maxim Anisimov was Commissioner for a day, obviously he'd be the VHLM Commissioner as that's the only VHL league he's ever played in. Now, as to what he'd do, well he has a couple of ideas 1. First thing he'd do is revoke Miami's ability to claim waivers cause they've CLAIMED EVERY PLAYER THAT'S APPEARED ON THE FREE AGENCY MARKET AND HE WANTS TEAMMATES TO PLAY WITH! I mean, uh, ahem. He would be neutral and fair as to who gets players in free agency and waiver claims. He'd have absolutely zero bias towards the Las Vegas Aces or affiliated programs or services. Uh yeah, totally. 2. He'd call his mates over from Ukraine to come play for the VHLM. He's noticed a sore lack of Ukrainian players appearing in Free Agency and he wants to be able to speak his native tongue with more people than his parents. Plus an influx of players into the league never hurts, and would make the seasons very competitive and difficult to understand for all these North Americans he's playing against 3. HE'D REINSTATE JUAN CESON @dylanjj37 AS PERMANENT CAPTAIN AND FOREVER ROSTERED PLAYER IN THE ACES. JUAN CESON OWNS THE CITY OF LAS VEGAS AND ALL AFFILATED PROGRAMS AND SERVICES AND DID NOT DESERVE TO BE DESTROYED SO MERCILESSLY AT THE HANDS OF THE FORMER COMMISSIONER. *cough cough* I mean he'd maintain the ruleset enforced by former Commissioners and ensure fair and competitive play across the league. Absolutely zero corruption going on here! He has nothing but the best intentions for everyone *except miami who keeps STEALING ALL THE PLAYERS* *cough cough* Man, I have something in my throat or some. Uhh anyways, moving on! 4. HE WOULD REMOVE THE SKILL CAP OF THE LEAGUE AND ALLOW CHAOS TO ENSUE. MADNESS AS VHL CALIBER ALL-STARS ABSOLUTELY DECIMATE THE NEW WAIVER AND FREE AGENTS OF THE LEAGUE. A TRUE AGENT OF CHAOS! NO LONGER SHALL VHLE FRINGE PLAYERS BE THE END OF SKILL, FOR EVERY AND ALL PLAYERS SHALL PLAY IN ONE LEAGUE, DOMINATED BY THE INFLUENCE OF THE GREAT MAXIM ANISIMOV. Or at least raise it a bit to allow a wider range of player types and skillsets to amplify the leagues diverse abilities. I don't know who said to remove the cap, that's just absurd. Las Vegas would win every Founder's Cup moving forward if THAT were the case! 5. Finally, he would allow Maxim Anisimov to play for the Aces forever. He loves that team, it's the team that picked him up from the streets of a small Ukrainian village and gave him a chance to become a star at a pro level. He's earning more money in one season than he's seen in his entire life and he owes everything he's achieved so far to the management of Las Vegas for giving him this opportunity. THEN HE WOULD TAKE OVER AS GENERAL MANAGER AND FINALLY ACHIEVE HIS TRUE GOAL OF OWNING ALL OF LAS VEGAS. NO LONGER SHALL @Blazzer OR JUAN PULL THE STRINGS, AS MAXIM WOULD BE PULLING THEIR STRINGS. WORLD DOMINATION FOLLOWS! It's just food for thought, though. For now, he's more than happy with just playing for the Aces, and he's gonna probably stay as just that *for now* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Live from Juan Ceson Arena, this is Radio Las Vegas, with your host, Marcus Svedberg! All the latest news, coming your way right now. The Las Vegas Aces are on a roll! Recent changes in the lineup and on ice strategy have proven to have paid off in spades, (pun instead), as the Aces find themselves on a four game winning streak, their largest of the season thus far. The rejuvenated offense have been putting up strong numbers, and with this newfound confidence, the team has found itself in the upper half of the standings for the first time in S89. With the team seemingly finding its stride, the defense has been bolstered further with the addition of Jean-Marc Lemieux @Gorth, and Left Winger Stinky @taylorherd being brought in to replace Barbaslov in the wings. The question remains, however; Does this mean the Aces have what it takes to make a deep push into the playoffs this season? With Jeffrey Blake @ElementStyx9 having to bail the team out in most games he plays in, and the team historically being back and forth on success and failure, does this winning streak mean the team has turned a new corner? Or is it an anomaly in the standings that'll be soon corrected? Time will tell in that regard, but as for Radio Las Vegas, we love to see the boys finally stringing some wins together. That's all I have for you. This is Marcus Svedberg, wishing you ladylike luck tonight. Have you ever been in love with a celebrity? You don't have to be shy, I feel it between us, too.

Live from Juan Ceson Arena, this is Radio Las Vegas, with your host, Marcus Svedberg! We've got some news for you, coming right up. The Aces have had a bit of difficulty in getting their feet underneath them as the S89 VHLM season fully swings into motion, and it's hard to gauge what's causing these issues. Some point to the top heavy nature of the team, and how there isn't much depth past the star players. Others have gotten more analytical in their assessments and blame individual skills not meshing together on the ice, with the favorite theory being that the team simply passes too much and shots are far and few between, especially quality ones. With this in mind, GM @Blazzer and AGM @McLovin have been hard at work in tweaking the lineups, shifting players and ice time allocation to mend the situation. Despite their efforts, the Aces find themselves at a lowly 7-10-1 record, sitting second to last in their conference. With this in mind, what's in store for the Aces? Many have suspected that the team may move pieces here soon, or at least nearing the trade deadline should the issues not be alleviated by then. A possible route the Aces take is the hard rebuild strategy, in which high skill players are dealt for draft capital and depth pieces to bolster them down the line. This is definitely the nuclear option in terms of solving the issues, but with the stagnant nature of the teams performance last few seasons, something has to change, right? Of course, this is all speculation. The team as is is remarkably strong in its high end skill, and minor tweaks and a few waiver claims would likely improve the situation. Is management willing to take that chance on the future, however, remains to be seen. You know, they say no news is good news. But I think my program would be awfully dull if that were the case. That news was brought to you by the Bratislava Watchmen. "The Watchmen, the best VHLE team." @dylanjj37 Here's Bing Crosby reminding us of those times when you absolutely have to kiss the person you love. "Something's Gotta Give," up next.

Live from Juan Ceson Arena, this is Radio Las Vegas, with your host, Marcus Svedberg! We got an interesting story here for you today, so stay tuned! A few days ago, Las Vegas announced that they were naming Maxim Anisimov as the successor of Juan Ceson @dylanjj37 as Captain of the Las Vegas Aces. Since then, we've had some fun stirrings occur in the locker room and front office of the Aces, as well as here in our own radio station! As mentioned in our last broadcast, Juan Ceson made his own developmental team and company, aimed at training the next generation of players and leaders in the VHLM. Despite this, Juan Ceson still attempted to ensure the contract signed between him, AGM Ben Hafkey and myself, host and owner of Radio Las Vegas, would still be enforced. The clause of the contract was that should Ceson remain in Las Vegas for the next two seasons, this radio station would be relocated to Las Vegas from Helsinki, and named Radio Juan. Obviously, as Ceson has since retired from the VHLM following the announcement that he'd no longer be eligible for competing, the contract was essentially void before it could even go into effect Now, however, Ceson has still created Radio Juan, is what appears to be a direct competitor to Radio Las Vegas! Additionally, Ceson has claimed that I work there, even saying that I've earned a 200% raise from my "volunteer salary of $0" With this news, Radio Las Vegas is happy to announce that we're not going anywhere, and that I personally will not sign any deals with Radio Juan so long as they continue to attempt to steal away our loyal and loving viewers of RLV! What will come of this, though, is yet to be seen, but I can speak for myself in saying that RLV will always be here for you, providing the most up to date and only partially biased news on your Las Vegas Aces! Promotional consideration for this news segment has been paid for by the Ultra-Luxe. The Ultra-Luxe. Live life in the lap of luxury. You know, sometimes the journey beats the destination. Especially if your spurs go Jingle Jangle Jingle, and you meet some nice gals on the way.

The S89 VHLM season is officially underway! Players are looking to prove their worth to VHL and E teams, managers are looking to win glory in the Founder's Cup Final, and I'm back with my freezing cold takes! Today we'll be covering S89 projections for the currently rostered players in the Las Vegas Aces organization! We'll be covering stat projections for the season, as well as post S89 and even further predications for each player on the team at the moment! Without further ado, let's get into the nitty gritty. Jeremia Barbaslov Starting us off, we have winger Jeremia Barbaslov @Je Barbaslov, who is currently the highest TPE earning player signed with Las Vegas. Drafted 12th overall by Las Vegas in the S88 VHLM draft, Barbaslov is a dynamic two-way forward who throws shots on goal like no tomorrow, but can also lay the body on unsuspecting opponents. With an impressive 86 points in 72 contests with the Aces last season, as well as 333 shots on goal, Barbaslov is a lethal offensive threat that puts pressure on the defense and rebounds available to teammates. Having played 6 games this season, he's already amassed 27 shots, with a complementary 21 hits to go along with it. With 5 points in those 6 games as well, his offensive prowess will be a defining cornerstone to Las Vegas' forward core for the season, and it will be imperative to get him going. Having been drafted 25th overall in the VHLE, and 30th overall in the VHL, Barbaslov has the potential to be a steal for Vasteras and Toronto, as they both own his rights in their respective leagues. An average earner, you can expect to see Barbaslov moving onto the E after this season, in which he's projected to continue his strong two-way game in a forward core that will definitely benefit from his presence. As his role in Toronto is much further out in the future, it's hard to say what their needs are going to be by the time he makes it to the pros, but expect him to be a fierce competitor for a roster spot in a system that has many, many winger options available to them. Jeffrey Blake Jeffrey Blake @ElementStyx9 has already had such a storied career in his short time in the VHL. He played his first two seasons in the VHL with the Miami Marauders and Philadelphia Reapers, where he lead the Reapers to the Founder's Cup Finals in S88. After he won the Cup in Philly, he was traded to the Aces in the S88 draft, to fill a gapping hole the Aces had in net, which has held them back in competition for a while now. Around this time, he also was selected by his future AGM in McLovin to represent Europe in the WJC. He was selected off loan from Canada as Karl Herzlich @LastGoon007, coincidentally his own tendy tandem duo in Philly, was the only available European goalie. Splitting time with Herzlich in the round robin, Blake was chosen to be the starter in the WJC Medal Rounds, where he absolutely carried Team Europe to gold. To say that big things are expected of him in Las Vegas would be an understatement. He has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders, and thus far has proven he's the man for the job for the Aces. With his accolades accounted for alone, Blake has got a strong case for becoming a full fledged starter for Bratislava or D.C, to which his VHLE and VHL rights belong respectively. He's moving onto the E next season, where he will likely take over the backup position for the time being. Despite the earnings difference between him and the current starter for Bratislava, a case can be made that he should be given starter reigns, or at least a large portion of starts in the S90 VHLE season for them. Looking ahead to his VHL career, he's got his work cut out for him, but should the situation of D.C's goaltending prospects not change, you can see Blake taking the backup role here in a few seasons, with a potential to become the full fledged starter around S93-95 give or take. The future is certainly bright for the Brick Wall of Sin City. ShaunYoungca ShaunYoungca @shaun1979 is next on our list, and he's a very interesting case. He's played next to his entire career with the Aces, with a brief stint in Houston before quickly returning to the fold of Las Vegas. In the three seasons he's played thus far, he's proven to be a capable two-way center, with a strong balance across the board in his game. Very similar stats to Barabslov this season, in which he's amassed 27 hits and 25 shots to compliment his 5 points in 6 games, he's a player Las Vegas is also going to need to lean on should they want to return to the Founder's Cup Final. Despite not being a big point earner, he's a player which can be trusted in a top 6 role, as well as the special teams to add a much needed gritty presence to the forward core. His projection into the future is also very similar to Barbaslov, with his rights additionally being in Toronto, as well as VHLE rights belonging to the Cologne Express. Youngca will be moving onto the VHLE next season as well, where I can safely predict that he'll be a hard hitting top 9 role player, filling in gaps in the special teams and keeping the other teams head on a swivel with his heavy body checking, and strong leadership on and off the ice. Again, while VHL predictions are difficult to gauge this early in a players career, expect to see a similar style with Toronto in which he might not be the biggest point getter, but a much needed scheme player to assist those top guns in being a physical presence and specialist in the PK. Walter Fitzroy Jr The top pick of the Aces in the S88 VHL Draft, Walter Fitzroy Jr @Moon has an incredibly strong projection across the board. A two-way threat, Fitzroy Jr is going to be an absolutely lethal player in any role he finds himself in. PK, PP, 5v5, it doesn't matter. He will shut you down, and take advantage of your blunders by being a remarkably strong offensive presence. In the 6 games he's play so far this season, he's procured 6 points, including 5 assists, 11 hits and 12 shots blocked. As the only other defenseman on the Aces, the pressure on his shoulders is immense, but he has not disappointed in his stint with Las Vegas. He's projected to continue his point-per-game pace into the post season, where he will again be heavily leaned on to propel the Aces far into the postseason. As he has not been drafted to the E or VHL itself, nothing can be said about what he'd add to a specific team, but he's an incredibly strong earner who will likely go in a similar spot to his 4th overall selection in last seasons draft. His two-way game is very valuable to any team that picks him up, and should be a top priority for teams in the upcoming draft to pickup should they need a stud of a defenseman who will only get better every season he plays. Maxim Anisimov Maxim Anisimov @McLovin is an interesting case. Despite being a strong earner, he's actually struggled a bit in the opening games of S89. In the 6 games he's played, he's only brought home 3 points, including just one assist. Despite being labeled as a playmaker, he needs to find his game should he want to be taken high in the upcoming VHLE and VHL drafts. Should this happen though, he will be a much needed offensive threat for the Aces to round out the top dogs already listed. He hasn't played in international competition like most of the people already mentioned, but should he pick up the production, he's projected to be welcome help to Team Europe in future WJC and WC tournaments. Being a rapidly growing player, he presents himself as a double edged sword. Yes, he will continue to grow at a significantly above average rate, but if he continues to struggle against similarly skilled players, his draft stock is expected to plummet, potentially out of first round selections despite being a top 5 projected pick in the two upcoming drafts he's eligible for. Again, should he tweak his game a bit, he could be a dark horse candidate for a steal for whatever team glances his way and picks him up. He's thrived in being underestimated however, with a strong performance in the rest JST run he had with the Steel. Keep your eye open on this one Jeid Rohnson At first glance, you wouldn't think too much of Jeid Rohnson @TopTiddee2. Drafted 32nd overall in the recent draft, he was picked up to fill out the second line center position while ShaunYoungca held the reigns as top center. That's changed however, as Jeid has exploded in production this season, with 8 points already in 6 contests. With a heavy lean on his offensive game, despite not being one of the higher skilled players, he's proven that skill isn't always everything, and that pure drive is enough to propel a player into the limelight and raise his draft stock. As a pretty strong earner, his skills will only improve as well, and he's projected to continue his production this season barring his line doesn't shift around too much as Las Vegas is hovering at a .500 record. Looking forward, like Anisimov, he hasn't been drafted to a higher leagues team yet, but I can definitely see him becoming a player that teams overlook initially, but regret doing so later down the line as they notice how remarkable of a player Jeid truly is. Should he maintain his offensive production, he'll be a near shoo-in for Aces MVP this season, competing with the likes of Blake and Barbaslov who have nearly 100 more TPE than him. In the E and VHL, expect it to be a similar situation. He's going to be a good player for a long time, and should be another priority of teams looking to make a really safe pick in acquiring a depth player who will only improve. Barry McOckiner Despite his funny name, Barry McOckiner @LanerDUST is no joke. An almost identical situation to Jeid Rohnson, he's been a surprisingly good player for Las Vegas this season. Drafted 37th overall last year, he wasn't expected to be an impact player till next season. He's proven those doubters wrong however. In the 6 contests he's been in so far, he's already put up 7 points, including 4 goals on 22 shots. For a depth piece on the Aces, this is simply incredible production. As he is still relatively new to the M, he's likely going to spend another season with the franchise, in which he's expected to only amplify his already strong skillset. Similarly to Jeid Rohnson, picking him up in the draft should be a priority for teams in leagues above the M. A depth piece with an offensive upside is always valuable to teams, and he should not be overshadowed by teams favoring pure skill over actual production. As mentioned before, he'll likely remain with the Aces for S90, but past that, see him being a strong addition to any team who picks him up, and wants a player who will only improve over time. Keep this guy on your radar as well, because he's going to be a fun player to watch over his career. Jaja Dingdong Jr Rounding out our evaluations, we have Jaja Dingdong Jr @Jaja Dingdong. Similarly to Barry McOckiner, he's expected to play for the Aces for at least another season past our current one. He's been a much needed depth piece to the Aces this year, being the blueline partner to Walter Fitzroy Jr. In his time with the Aces thus far, he's scored a respectable two points in six games. A relatively decent earner as well, should he maintain his game, he'll be a player the Aces lean heavier and heavier on as time moves forward. Potentially, even, being the Aces number one guy on the blueline for the S90 regular and postseason play. Like Rohnson and McOckiner, teams should keep an eye out on this guy. Despite being a comparatively low skill-wise player, he's proven to be a necessary cog to the greater Aces machine. As mentioned before as well, he will likely be on the team for a while, in which he will be relied on for his strong defensive and special teams play. In the pros, expect him to be the same thing. A player you can lean on when it matters, and that he'll get the job done with his drive alone. Luckily for him as well, he's only going to get better, so he's going to be a very fun player to observe over the span of his long career! That'll do it for our evaluation of the Aces roster for S89! Obviously as we made it further down the list, it became harder to determine exactly what is going to happen with some players, but this is a strong team with a tenacity to prove doubters wrong, and be the underdog that nobody expects to get the job done. This is going be a fun season for the Aces, and I, myself, cannot wait to see what these guys do over the span of their careers. It's a fun time to be a fan of us right now, so jump on the bandwagon if you haven't already. You'll want to say you've been a lifelong fan when we win every Founder's Cup moving forward from here ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2,328 words, claiming for the next month
