'Alea iacta est' the dice are cast. Calgary is directly qualified for the playoffs and will face the Vancouver Wolves in the first round, while LA and New York will battle to meet Seattle. The Wranglers had a very inconsistent season and show a 37-26-9 recored with a +5 goal difference. Certainly not their best regular season in the recent past, but still making the playoffs every year since Janser joined the squad.
 
In an interesting twist of fate, Marcel's Phantoms have to fight for the playoffs against his last year's employer and defending Champion, the London United. Prague has a 38-26-8 and a big contributor was John Jameson who became second in the Szatkowski as well as the Brooks rating.
 
Marcel goes out with a new personal record of 11 goals and 151 shots blocked. Further and in addition with his second best points total (43) as well as second best +/- rating (+40, second league wide only behind Prague time mates, Argos and Jameson with +41 each). As predicted by this news outlet, he shows a positive +/- for every of his five seasons in the big show. The younger Janser also equalized his lowest PIM of his rookie season and only spent 30 minutes in the sin bin.
 
Daniel on the other hand cannot show similar accolades for his final season. He did not even manage 90 points in the season despite being on a 100+ points pace early on. What must also be vexing for the Captain, is that he ended up one measly point of tying Scott Boulets 737 points for the Wranglers in the all time scoring list. This is of course complaining on a very high level, as the center never had less than 40 helpers in a full VHL season and with the exception of the rookie season, always scored 30+ goals. He was also never below a point per game in any of his eight VHL campaigns.
 
So at the moment, both brothers are playing for the cup and it would be history in the making if they met in the Continental Cup final. But in all honesty, Seattle on the NA conference, and Davos as well as Moscow from the European conference look like the teams to beat.
 
Let's venture a sneak peak into the future of the Wranglers/Phantoms for a hot minute. 
 
The Albertan team appears to have found a replacement for Janser already with hot-shot Vincent LeandroLaroche-Gagnier and Wolanin (who had a bit of a slump year) as well as Gonçalves remain on the force to compliment the Quebecois. The defence as well as the goaltending is there, the only question mark is the number two center as no prospect in the system looks like a suitable candidate. Alas with the cap space from DJ's retirement becoming available, it should be possible to get a servicable center in the FA market. Even Torbjorn's pending free agency will not put any strain on GM Ricer, as with Lattimer and Mason Rice, two promising prospects are due to get their chance in the big show. The former turned some heads in the VHLE where he was the best scorer of the best team in the league in the Istanbul Red Wolves.
 
Prague have Marcel retiring and Rozzdale pending FA. Especially the former is a loss, which cannot be compensated from their own prospect pool and needs to be found in the market (or left pending). Other than that they seem to be set for the foreseeable future.
 
Here the final stats of our hockey exports:
Marcel: 72gp, 11g, 32a, 43pts, +40, 30 PIM, 46 hits, 151 sb, 1gwg, 4ppg, 1shg, 1 First Star nomination
Daniel: 72gp, 36g, 50a, 86pts, +5, 68 PIM, 173 hits, 45sb, 7gwg, 6ppg, 60.99FO%, 6 First Star nomination
 
We will revert with news as soon as possible.

Hello @Members!
 
As crazy as it seems the holiday season is nearly upon us which for the VHL means our annual charity drive!
 
For those who haven’t been around, a quick recap: Every December in addition to Christmas festivities we hold a charity donation drive to help out communities beyond our own. This will be our fourth year doing the charity drive with previous drives donating thousands to the Make a Wish Foundation, Food Banks of Canada / Feed America, and the Red Cross.
 
So why am I posting about this in early November? Because we want to involve you all in helping decide the charity for this year. As always you’ll be able to donate to any charity you wish and have it count but the league matching donation and any donated through us will go to the charity that’s chosen.
 
In an ideal world that charity fits a couple of criteria so if you can try to keep them in mind for your suggestions that would be great:
 
1. Should be something that accepts PayPal donations since all league funds run through that.
2. Should be something with a wide reach and ideally international or at least having Canadian / American equivalents we can split donations between.
3. Nothing political or divisive.
 
So let’s see what you can come up with! Feel free to also discuss your favourites in here if someone suggests something you feel strong about but try to keep it as on topic as possible. Here’s to the start of another VHL holiday season!

Dear VHLer,
 
I was considering doing this trade tree for a while and here it is in all its glory. I will address every individual part of this trade in detail as it is kind of complicated. The initial trade was like this:
 

 
Here is also the excel table I created to keep track of all the parts involved. Here is the link to it in case you want to look at it in more detail.
 

 
A little disclaimer upfront. All the game and scoring related data are based on end of regular Season S85 and include playoff as well as regular season games combined.
 
We start with Helsinki's half of the trade.
 
Helsinki would acquire Alex Johnston. The winger played parts of two seasons for 122 games, 93 goals and 101a before being traded to Riga. Helsinki would receive in exchange Jolly Greene Giant, Los Angeles' 3rd round pick in S83 and Riga's S84 1st round pick.
 
Giant would play 22 games and score 11 goals and 10 assists for the Titans before retiring.
The S83 3rd round pick, the Titans would you use to draft Hungarian defender Hunor Solyom, who is yet to make his debut in the big show, but remains in the Finn's prospect pool.
Riga's S84 1st round pick would be flipped together with earlier acquired Defender Erlantz Jokinen (who played 72 games for the Titans, scoring 19 goals and 59 assists) and Helsinki's fourth round pick to Calgary, after the Veteran back had a fallout with Helsinki's management. In return, Helsinki would acquire London's S85 2nd round pick, Calgary's S85 2nd round pick and Calgary's S86 first round pick.
The London S85 2nd pick would be bundled with Riga's S84 3rd round pick to Prague to acquire Reylynn Reinhart, who played 79 games and scoring 51 goals and 46a before retiring with Helsinki.
The S85 2nd round pick from Calgary would be used to draft Vinny Lecavalier, who is still in Helsinki's system, but has yet to make an appearance in the VHL.
The S86 1st round pick from Calgary is still in possession of the Titans.
Riga's S84 2nd round pick would be bundled with veteran Left Wing Magnus Verlander and prospect Defender Cameron Elsby to Los Angeles for Florida Man. The Right Winger has played 223 games for Helsinki so far, scoring 93 goals and 103 assists in the process.
 
The second piece of the original deal was Los Angeles' S81 first round pick, which Helsinki would use to draft Wattson Power. The Canadian would never skate for the Finnish team but instead would be traded together with Kyosti Karjalainen to Moscow for star forward Nico Pearce and Moscow's 3rd round pick in S83.
Pearce would play 223 games, contributing 128 goals and 137 assists for the Titan's tally, as well as winning the Brooks and Campbell Trophy in S84 before hitting free agency.
The 3rd round pick would be combined with Helsinki's 2nd and 4th round pick in the S83 draft to acquire Defender prospect Deron Nesbitt, who so far has played 151 games and scored 20 goals and 62 assists.
 
The third and final piece on Helsinki's side of the Johnston-Trade, Los Angeles' 2nd round pick in S81, the Titans would use to draft Swiss Defender Janet Snakehole, who only ever played in the Minor Leagues and retired in S83 from professional ice hockey.
 
Now to Calgary's side of the trade:
 
Calgary would acquire Right Wing Gustislav Nasherov, who played 164 games for the Albertan team, scoring 112 goals and 111 assists before being traded together with Jokinen to Helsinki for Bob Chicoine, Lenny Sanderson, Seattle's 1st round pick in S83 as well as Helsinki's 2nd and 3rd round pick in S84 (note that is the trade before Erlantz had the aforementioned disharmony with HSK's upper echelon).
Chicoine would play 28 games with the Wranglers, adding 1 goal and 5 assists to his tally, before being shipped to Vancouver for veteran Forward Brenden Telker. The latter dressed for 51 games, scoring 14 goals and 23 assists, before hanging up his skates for good.
Calgary used Seattle's 1st rounder to select Portuguese Wonderkind Leandro Gonçalves. The center played 151 games in a Wranglers uniform for 60 goals and 70 assists so far with an upwards trend.
Helsinki's 2nd round pick was packaged with Calgary's 1st round pick in S83 to acquire New York's 1st rounder in S83. This pick was then used by GM Ricer to draft S83 Jack Wylde Award winning Pylon Defender AirRig GoodBrandSun into the team. AG has played 227 games, scoring 43 goals and 141 apples for the Black, White and Red. He will remain a staple in Calgary's defence for years to come.
Helsinki's 3rd round pick in S84 was used to draft Lorenzo Cobberson, who this past season played for Oslo Storm in the VHLE and is still in the Wranglers' prospect pool.
 
Davos' 2nd round pick in S81 was used to select Defender Ragnar Hagstrom, who hung up his skates in S80 after a career-ending injury (read: the player was part of the multi-'outbreak' in the 2021 Holiday season).
 
Calgary's 1st round pick in S81 was used to select Left Winger/Center Daniel Janser. The Swiss forward has played 316 games for the Wranglers, scoring 143 goals and 195 assists, was elected Captain prior to the S85 season (and served as alternate in S83 and S84) and won the Mike Szatkowski, the Brett Slobodzian as well as the Kevin Brooks Trophy this past season.
 
Kindly note that the trade, which brought Jokinen back to Calgary was not included on the Wranglers' side of the deal, as technically it is not part of the original trade tree on their side. For good orders' sake (and for the interested readers and not-so-nitpicking connoisseurs), Jokinen played 151 games for 34 goals and 132 assists since his return and has a contract with the team for his final season.
The Riga 1st round pick, which was involved in that same trade, was used to select Center Sax Justice, who played his first season with the Wranglers and scored 5 goals and 15 assists.
Helsinki's 4th round pick in S84 acquired in the Jokinen-deal was waived by the Wranglers.
 
I hope this was something of interest for you and I hope Ricer can stop to make such intricate deals, as it took me quite some time to unwind it all

Good news everyone!
 
As you might have seen here, @McWolf is stepping away from the green team. What you likely didn't know is that @diamond_ace  will also be stepping down this off-season after an incredible tenure. I don't think I could possibility summarize how much D_A has done for the league better than his Builder article, so I'll include that for you all to peruse. Please join me in saying, thank you @diamond_ace ! 
 
What this does mean is we have the unique privilege of adding 2 new VHLM Commissioners at the same time! After reviewing the list of candidates that had put themselves forward for the position, we have decided on hiring: @Spartan and @Gustav!
 
Congratulations to the both of you!
- @Commissioner
