In turn of recent events, VHL prospect Lek Bislimi has decided to retire from the VHLM, shutting down any chance of him being drafted. Here's a few words from Lek on why he decided to abruptly retire: "The largest issue is the broken terms between this league and my sponsorships from Albania. The only reason I'm able to afford to be in this league is because of the gracious companies in my home country who decided to support me while I'm in my venture to the VHL. With the money, I was able to buy training benefits that helped me improve leaps and bounds more than I expected, something that the meager VHLM salaries would not have done. I'm not permitted to go into details on why the terms were broken, but the fact of the matter is that I'll have to leave the VHL without the financial assistance of my home country." Lek was then asked what he plans to do after his retirement becomes official. "I always hate to say this, but my future is up in the air. I'll probably return to Albania first and foremost, and then try to find leagues elsewhere that will allow me to accept sponsorships from my country. I enjoyed my time in the VHLM and I wish it didn't have to end this way. Hopefully the terms between this league and Albania can be fixed before my brother, Alazan Bislimi, is old enough to pursue professional hockey. Thank you."

just gonna throw this here, these are the only official definitions of "gay" Josh is either using an offensive slang or saying that people who are homosexual are bad. Hopefully this shuts down the dumb "20 meanings" argument.

3352 miles. 5395 kilometers. What will be different in Las Vegas? "Everything," stated Bislimi. The promising Albanian wing was shipped off in the recent VHLM Draft to play for the Aces. Lek had some comments about the transition he made. "I feel like I've visited 3 different planets in a very short time span," he said. "Albania is a little less safe than my future destinations but it's my homeland and I loved to play hockey there. Going to Halifax was a dream, the GM needed help on the wings and he discovered me while on a prospects tour in Europe. Halifax was cold and quiet, I liked it that way. But then came Las Vegas." Bislimi was asked about the differences between Halifax and Las Vegas. "The cold and quiet place was gone and it's replacement was a crazy place with lights and mountains and deserts and noise and everything that Halifax doesn't have. The team style is also a bit different. In Halifax, they were stricter and very sharp. Here in Vegas, the Aces are very laid back. I'm not sure what style suits me the best yet, but I do know that Halifax is missing out on this casino thing." This press conference with Lek was recorded in the offseason and translated to English while he was in Albania for vacation.

Pretty cool idea, thanks to the GFX peeps

Come to Vegas or you're benched in SBA. Just kidding, we got a great squad over here and you'll find a ton of familiar faces.
