I have come to TERMS with not knowing who tf your original VHL player was/is @Sixersfan549 who tf is Le'Sean Coutzen though? No cups or awards for him?

Votes for Matt Thompson will be diverted to Jet Jaguar.

wtf your irl name is RYAN POWER?? That's pretty sweet. I always thought it was a work name.

Sorry, I cannot add any more reactions today.

Also, where the team logos at?

Sorry, you cannot add any more reactions today.

Anybody else think VHL History should abandon the cheesy fake 'GM names' of players in terms of GM history / HoF / etc? - I know who diamond_ace is. I have no fking clue who Jason Glasser is. - I know who Enorama is. I have no clue who his [INSERT FAKE CHEESY NAME HERE] is. - I know who [INSERT ANY VHL GM'S USERNAME HERE] is. I have no clue who [INSERT FAKE CHEESY NAME HERE] is. Just a thought. Sorry if I offended anyone / took focus away from the VHL expansion announcement.

I didn't know (or care) about team needs/positions. This was just a list of how I'd rank BPA heavily weighted towards historical performance... based on my horrible memory / 4 mins of research.

My bad big fella, I don't recall you ever being active while I was running around VHL (besides now of course) and I also tried searching out if you had previous cups/awards and found nothing. No disrespect, this is just members I've known/known of from the past ~30 seasons give or take (and SBA).

Salute VHL, I will look at S68 prospects, not at all considering team needs, and give you MY mock draft. As an OG sim leaguer I have an eye for sniffing out sim league "talent". Sim league talent isn't easily defined and includes many factors. I think consistency and longevity are two obvious key qualities in a VHL player and although first gens CAN overcome/exceed proven track records, I still think historical sim league performance is highly valuable and knowingly have a recreate bias. Sorry if I offend any first gen, under-the-radar, members. Please prove me wrong and exceed the people I'm about to rank super high. Also, I have to state this VHL.com is VHL HISTORY ONLY so no disrespect to people who put in their past work on SHL or SBA or whatever, but you prob not making the list. VHL GMs feel free to contact me for sim draft advice for a nominal fee. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Malmo Nighthawks - Condor Adrienne (member: Green) Obvious and clear #1 pick of this draft I think. One of the greatest VHLers of all-time in terms of sim league success. Old and proven and goes about his business without ruffling feathers much. I would say this is easily the safest/easiest mock draft pick to make. BUT for the sake of an exciting PT i did just notice Adrienne is a d-man, and to ME, Green's most impactful players are high scoring forwards. I did a quik check and 3/5 Green players are HoFers. Two of which are scoring forwards (O'Malley being a generational/legendary player imo) and one was a goalie. Can Green make a dominant d-man? My guess is yes, but if I were a GM, I would be wishing he created a C or W player. 2. New York Americans - Lance Flowers (member: CowboyInAmerica) Pick two is where it gets interesting. I know CIA is another OG VHLer with multiple HoFers, especially if he is the 'Cowboy' from very early-era VHL (but I don't think he is). I can't say I know him too well for whatever reason, but you have to respect a member who has two confirmed VHL HoFers, and is literally a greyman who goes about his business in the shadows, to the point where I don't even know him but I'm pretty sure I was active during both of his recent HoF careers with Wingate/McAllister.......... BUT it's also worth noting he has no HoF dman based on my 4 mins of research, so I will use that against him much like I did Green. 3. Seattle Bears - A Red Guy (member: Muffins) IDK if he has any HoFers on him, but the guy is a quality VHL personality and to my knowledge, has a fairly extensive jacket of sim league work, including VHL-specific work with triple gold winning player (but not HoFer) E'Twaun Delicious. He may have used diff usernames and had other VHLers in the past, I don't know. He's got a quality VHL rep though. Top 5 lock, but debatable at the 3 spot. I think a goalie is also a much bigger commitment than a skater, and someone who has reputable activity history is valuable in this position. EDIT: he does have a HoFer in his resume (Tukka Reikkinen who won 2 cups and a fuckton of awards) so yeah he's solidified at 3rd OA for me. 4. HC Davos Dynamo - Teemu Lehtinen Jr (member: sixersfan549) No relevant VHL history as far as I know, but I do know the sim league history is there, and IMO he's a good member (pause) who isn't a diva and can def. be a good soldier for a VHL franchise, and has the ability to commit/carry sim league franchises. Has been surprisingly active and is the best SBA-affiliate draftee in this draft. Good guy could go in the top 5, or be slept on by VHL GMs and fall out. I have no clue, but he's in my top 5... Not top two 2 because I had no clue CIA was in this draft class. 5. I Don't Know - Thorny Underyew (member: jack) I know he has previous cup-winning VHLers (no HoFers tho based on my 4 mins of research) and currently has more tpe than #3/#4. I'm PROBABLY ranking him too low, but for me, he is a confirmed top 5 pick in this draft. Good graphic ability = easy to be a consistent VHLer in terms of tpe growth. Seems to have been very active so far with Underyew, and could go anywhere from 3-5 for me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Honorable Mentions/Sleepers: Andrej Petrovic aka Tyler - Depthy VHL history. No HoFers but has had some decent careers, and can be counted on to grind a player to at least like a 2nd liner Kaspars Claude aka Bruins10 - Good graphics guy. Could/should be reliable, I would take him over a first gen 9 times out of 10. Also, isn't a sleeper because I would think GMs rank him highly. Frans Eller aka Ace - I think this dude is an SHL OG (I might be wrong) and probably could be reliable VHL sim league pick. SBA Affiliate Recruits: Ryo Yamazuki II aka Donno100 - Funny guy and unique specimen. I wouldn't call him an activity guarantee, but I'd take him over a first gen 7 times out of 10, possible sleeper in this draft. Roadkill Steve aka stevo - Sim league legend and an awesome personality. Strikes me as more of a one-league guy and is prob more active on SBA, but I'd take him, he's got potential. Wolf Stansson Jr aka Cornholio - Know him from SBA. No VHL history afaik, but has good SBA work on his resume, sleeper in this draft. Aamon Grim aka aCrypticPancake - No VHL history. Has SBA work on his resume. Has a VHL update this week. He's a sleeper. I wish I could say this would be a good pick: Justin Ridgeway aka streetlite - VHL legend but his current player seems inactive for the past month+. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good luck to all the S68 draftees!!

Very interesting information tbh. Salute VHL recruitment team.

1. Congrats on the cup!! Who was the most unsung hero on the run to the cup in Vancouver? 2. Someone said GRITTY RETIRES on Discord. Any substance to this claim? 3. Do you think VHL should switch the presser system to "1TPE for asking/answering 3 questions" instead of "1TPE for answering 3 questions, 1TPE for asking 5 questions"? 4. What moves, if any, are Vancouver going to need to make to remain a top team next season? 5. If you had to predict a S68 VHL champion, which team would it be? Can Vancouver repeat? 6. There are rumours that the Van Wolves logo is going to be re-designed. Can you substantiate these claims? Have you seen any prototypes/sketchups?

1. Who is the most unsung hero of the VAN cup run? 2. What moves, if any, are Vancouver going to have to do this off-season to prepare for another run next year? 3. Will the Mexico City Kings ever win a cup? 4. Whats your favourite kind of sandwich? 5. What stat categories are MGS going to focus on this off-season, going into S68? 6. Any ideas on what kind of position/member Vancouver is targeting in the S68 entry draft? Any prospect in particular have your seal of approval?

nnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Will there be grief conciliating provided to the members who get drafted by HC Davos? @BoG (obviously a sarcastic/joke post)

* this was made before the guy was fired for inactivity... and yes it's Shane Mars in disguise too.

Quite the volatile draft tbh.

NYA traded a late S68 2nd for Kefka+ then 3 hours later traded Kefka for a S68 1st AND 2nd??

Top 2 draft pick imho

Just doing my part!

Meh. Here's the negatives IMO to the 'presentation' style game thread: - The presenter is usually troll af and slow af / it takes someone significant time to 'present' it - The actual result of the game is found randomly between pages 5 - 14 and for the people not in live attendance, it's annoying to find / see the result Device's youtube live sims are way more dramatic/funny and concise. IMO if he scheduled them better instead of just coming online randomly and posting links to the stream 2 minutes before the actual sim happens, it would have better attendance and be more fun.
