Should have been 3 nights ago lol. Weve missed i think 3 or 4 days. We should be in the offseason. Perhaps we shoulda had a back up simmer as Will is busy with life

I love building grinder goons. My last guy coming is going to be basically Tie Domi. I built Sergei to be my best chance at HOF which will obviously not happen. So now im just going back to beating faces in and crushing bodies

@nicolas01 @Lefty

9Ive had the pleasure of grooming many great members in my time as GM of the VHLM. Guys whove gone on to commish/GM like @Beaviss @Spade18. Some hard workers like @SlapshotDragon @pennypenny @Lefty. I have yet to really meet another player with the confidence @Dtayl showed his first season he approached me asking what it takes to become a GM. I was suprised, most young bloods are too overwhelmed early on to be worrying about things like that. I offered him a grooming role, as he will take over next season as head GM of the Saskatoon Wild. I will stay on as advisor but my role will just he to aid rather than run things. He is building himself a solid player and is a very hard worker. Well he struggled his first offical draft with missing on some bigger names late in the draft, its all part of learning and every GM has some bad luck every now and then. I am excited to see where he takes the Wild over the next few seasons, and what path him and his player take. If he graduates to be a VHL GM or even a commish one day. Hes got a solid head on his shoulders it seems and he is very eager to learn. Only time will tell what he decides to do but i will most certianly follow his journey aslong as i am a member here. In terms of his player Dylan Nygunn is one of 5 players on defense over a PPG. He played awhille for the Wild after being selected in the 4th round, before being traded to the 21st due to the roster struggling to gel. The Wild decided it was best to sell their assets in hopes they can be competative next season. This helped Nygunn experience winning for the first time as a regular thing rather than struggle giving the young player a confidence boost he needs to keep playing and graduate to the VHL next season. Nygunn will join a Reign team next year that is currently in year 1 of its offical rebuild, with a GM who knows what he is doing they should be competative within the next 2-3 seasons. Nygunn figures to be a big piece of that teams defense going forward and i think could potentially win an award or 2 on defense if he is showing anything right now in juniors its that he is a very capable offensive defensemen. His over 100 hits, 70 blocked shots, and a +27 show he can play both ends of the ice effectively though its clear his best asset will be his ability to get the puck up to his forwards effectively. Hopefully he and Crimson can capture a cup, together on the 21st this season, as they are both solid members. Halifax has a very good shot after taking the league title this year, despite what critics of the league are calling a fix after they basically were awarded an all star team getting to take top pieces from every team.

They will be a dumpster fire this year but i think they are on par with Detroit and slightly better than Montreal in terms of future NHL prospects. Chabot, Tkchuck, Brown are obviously the big pieces. However they have Colin White, Josh Norris, Fliip Chilpk, Drake Batherson, Alex Formenton, Flilp Gustavsson, Rudolfs Bolcurs who are pretty good prospects in their own right. Id argue forward wise they should be fairly good in the future, goalies are always far from a sure thing but if Gustavsson can be it they set. But they need defensemen behind Chabot in the pool worth a damn when Harpur, Jaros are your best 2 after and they bottom pair project dmen

1.5mill top line LW cant promise alot of wins but ice time can not be beat

1.5mill top line C on the worst team in the league all i can offer is ice time

Media i cant do GFX for shit lol

Ill do Dylann Nygunn @Dtayl

Well yes, but i think hes earned first line and has the skill the be a top 6 power forward vs just a 3rd line goon most think he is

See thats where alot of people outside caps fans who dont watch him daily will disagree. Do i think he plays with an edge an can cross the line? 100% hes made some dirty plays(i personally dont think the Auston-Reese thing was him trying to hurt think it was a bigger dude hitting a smaller dude head down). But he actually has pretty good hands. Now is he a star? No but i think 50 points, 150+PIMs, 150+hits is in the realm of possibility for him. Which in many leagues that will be crazy value player

Tom Wilson im betting on a break out mark my words

Well its easy to Let Girard go when they have the deepest defense in the league all locked up for a long time and still have very good d prospects in the system. Girard was a subject of the numbers more than not believing he will be good.

Van is about to go off, Petterson Joulevi, Demko Boeser, Horvat still got decent Vets in Stecher/Edler. Baertischi, Markstrom both good not great. I think they better than Ottawa probably top 5 bad still but i think Vans got a better roster maybe worse star power but better depth. Detroit really is bad will compete for bottom 3, with ottawa and montreal. I think ottawa is worst than Montreal because of Price alone. Which puts it at Detroit/Ottawa for bottom 2 spot

I mean Ottawa not being a bottom 3 teams would be shocking lol even with Karlsson they need a 37 year old Anderson to bounce back to even stay even on last years roster

I didnt imply that you did haha i was saying outside of ur offer for Nygunn i had some very awful offers ?

Oh you did well but was just pointing out how i managed to maximze my assets

Well i did 2 things, i stepped away from the stupid awful offers i was getting from some GMs(diamonds was basically what i got for Nygunn) let you guys deal your assets. Then snuck in and took advantage of a GM who just saw his competition bulk up. Basically i just played my hand right and got the offer i wanted rather than fight in the bidding war people wanted me too

Accept sorry for the late reply works been crazy Got the price i wanted best of luck to @SlapshotDragon and @Dtayl hope you guys get that cup you deserve it

Actually didnt pay attention to trades at all lol or i woulda spoke up ? i didnt notice till i joined the trade market

Realistically if we followed the rules for the last 10 seasons that apparently our commishes dont even know this trade cant happen lol.

Haha see thing is i aint dumb i learned from my VHL days to avoid getting burned and would rather sit pretty than give up talent for less than value
