Got damn the one time i could actually be considered for awards

Who actually watchs that though in seriousness? Not many

I knew where they both were being from Europe, but Davos is a pretty small city and not a well known city in Switzerland. Riga is Latvias capital so more common knowledge

Normally id agree but doubt anyones drafting my enforcer outside 4th round. Unless its just for LR activity. Williams, retired 2 player being retracted gave me little motivation to make my enforcer who will collect welfare. My next guy will be after Komarov because if i kept Willams id be stuck with a mediocre player for 3 seasons

New York drafted a Hulking Russian Center 3rd overall in S56. With hopes he would be the cornerstone of there rebuild. In S57 he helped Vegas capture the cup well leading the league in a ton of catergories. S58 he built off that finishing with 101 points, 180 hits, 70 shots blocked. He looks like a star in the making, and rewarding the Americans for their smart choice everyday. Komarov is just one key piece, of New York. S58 saw veteran Fujimoto break out with 120 points, after coming over for a 3rd round pick. Casey Jones is a S57 2nd overall pick, like Komarov has a serious shot at winning rookie of the year, and ontop of that defender of the year. Ike Arkander another S57 pick had a great rookie season for a goalie, and looks to be an amazing starter for years to come. Well S57 Colton Rayne spent another year, dominating in juniors and is expected to be a beast on the blue line for next year. Throw in another S57 playing in Launchpad Mcquack looking to break out this year. Flash forward to dispearal draft due to retraction. Chase Keller is selected 1st overall, making them own all 3 rookie of the year candidates. Add in potential goalie of the year Rhett Degrath in a trade to help bring a deadly 1-2 punch in net. All that is topped off by adding 2 top picks in Kristoff Muller, and Akseal McKnight. This is a young hungry core that is ready to take a serious shot at a good playoff run. Last is addition Hrdina who should provide a solid role player an a grizzled vet look to the line up. Projected line up for the season looks something like this Fujimoto-Keller-Komarov You get a nice blend of everything on this line, Fujimoto and Komarov bring high skill, solid two way play with a sand paper type game. Well Keller brings electric hands, and elite offensive instincts. Komarov will need some time to adjust to playing wing, which could cause issues early. However its not expected to be maintained as the skill of this line is just too high. Muller-Mcquack-Hrdina Hrdina is a vet with alot to prove, he never really lived up to hype but should be a solid supporting cast playing in New York. Mcquack looks to prove last season was just tapping his potential, and break out. Muller is a S58 prospect who obliterated the competition in the VHLM as he looks to prove, he will be a beast again next level. On defense our first pairing is likely Jones-Rayne They played and won a cup together for Vegas, and are polar opposites, some mighr say the ying to eachother yang. Jones is a budding offensive defensemen, well Rayne plays a quiet two way game. Look for them to keep the chemistry going in the big leagues. McKnight-FA Its unkown at this point, who Mcknight will be paired with. However its no shock that the team is high on the kid as he looks to be a solid top defender for New York this season adding depth where they lacked last season. In Net we have Rhett Degrath, Ike Arkander Best one 2 punch in the VHL hands down. Degrath will mentor Arkander, well likely carrying the bulk of the load next year.

Its based on things like hits points, goals assists you pick two and it adds up based on numbers to 10 or to a max of 20

Claim 5

Journeyman is older and less TPE easy call

Yep me and @Smarch came within 1 game each but failed

Claim 5 for the first time ever lol

Rumour has it Sergei Komarov has been working on his abilities outside the faceoff dot, with speculation that well he will remain a top line player for New York after regersitering 101 points, 180 hits and 70 shots blocked. However, he may not play center with rumors swirling there will be a new top dog in town, and he will team up with Fujimoto, and Komarov to form an extremely lethal top line. The question is who? The top candiadates seem to be Chase Keller, or vet Shawn Gretzky. Both of whom are exceptional centers, Komarov known to be a team first player like the rest of his family agreed to move to wing for the best of the team. Citing he wants to win cups, being a greedy player will not accomplish that. He saw Pavel move to defense early in his career for the best of the team, and knew if he was called on he would do what is best for whoever drafted him.

@124715 @Beerfridge still got time for free TPE before season starts

With project 2 out the window it means id be stuck 3 seasons with him, and i havent put any real effort in. Rather just make a goon next player and put work in

Im likely retiring my goon for this reason. Dont wanna be stuck with a guy i wont be trying with for 3 seasons. Till i can make a new guy whose worth a damn. That boredem would drive me away. I can see them maybe giving a 1 off given this wont happen again allow players to get carry over from both it seems fair?

You and Parashkin are Komarovs end goal.

@Devise what day you living in cuz for me its the 10th all the days are wrong had me confused other than that looks good

+4 for Williams

1. Ivan Morozov 2. Kriztof Mueller 3. Aksel McKnight 4. Dragon McDragon 5. Lavar Ball 6. Adam Warlock 7. Otto Axelsson 8. ? Vladislav Koradek 9. Elias Karlsson 10. Paul DiMirio Jr.

We are in the offseason, likely today or tomorrow there will be an offseason plan posted. Then at a later date decided by the GMs of both leagues, likely be soon a draft will be held. Which you will be picked, and then the season will start and you keep making media pieces, and updating your player to be the best. You will be drafted to one of the 5 VHLM teams, play a season or 2 there. And be drafted to a VHL team the season after you are drafted in the VHLM.

Broduer to Seatle confirmed?

Orders done, but dont think they are posting till its all done the draft. Id assume

Shoulda been Saskatoon vs Oslo Ottawa bad

See what happends when Ottawa wins they choke. Its like a ritual or something. Atleast Saskatoon woulda made this a series

I mean more like HOF wise, if we changed to deeper teams. Players wouldnt be getting the big seasons, like we see now. Which means we dont have guys like Thomas O'Malley, or Ravenwing. Now ud likely toil away for 3 seasons doing meh, which might push people away(id be one). Then star for abit then retire. Meaning guys who missed the cut, before this change are likely HOFer in our deeper league. But not now.

Just another small point as i think history means little in SIM leagues. But it would mean changing litterly everything in the VHL from HOF to recordbooks. Cuz now not a single person is cracking the top scorers or hits, or PIM etc ever lol. I think were too far in at this point to make radical changes to that. Because that means players who would make it under new rules, miss out cuz they played old days, well guys whod never crack it old ways wouldnt. Im talking about deeper teams btw. Cuz how often you see 100 point players in SHL?
