1. Vancouver Management pulled the trigger on two trades at this year’s deadline; What did you think about the trades and do they improve the teams chance in the play-offs? i really like Tater @Trunkxolotl as a player and member, he'll definitely help us this season. But has big upside going forward as well. Moving @Spaz was just doing right by the player once we knew we were acquiring Tater. 2. Seattle loaded up with two-star forwards in Vasile Lamb & Tavish DeGroot in two different trades; Do you think this makes them a better team and improves their chances at making the play-offs? They'll be a tough out and they may be our first match up. 3. If you could complete a single trade for any team (NHL, VHL, VHLE, VHLM) what would that trade look like? Why? i'd like to see a VHL tean trade the 1st overall pick again. Hasn't happened in a long time. 4. With all the trades in the NHL taking place around the same time as the VHL trade deadline has it made it more exciting or distracting following the two leagues? Did the NHL trades over shadow the VHL trades? i think it adds more intrigue and motivation. Which us probably why we saw a few more trades this deadline. 5. In the locker room the other day a bunch of the players were talking about their career high in stats this season. Have you set career highs this season and in what stats? Did this surprise you or was this expected? As GM of Vancouver we've set a career high in wins in a season, so that's nice. The team is deep and we are getting timely scoring and good defense from every single player. 6. Most season are filled with ups and downs; while Vancouver this season has seen more ups and seem to be just waiting for the play-offs. What do you prefer a dominating season where you are just in wait mode or would you like to battle more to just make the play-offs? Why? Hopefully we've saved something fir the playoffs. I think both are great but coasting to the playoffs is much more relaxing.

This is awesome. Very clean and thoughtful. Your jersey change some how got even better from the previous!

Nobody wants to contact you until they own the 2nd overall pick. Congrats on the upcoming wedding and goud luck, don't let her do all the planning.

@samx

Looking good! @Sawyer13

Comparing him to Voldemort. Low blow.

JFC These are sick. Amazing work @Triller

I just noticed I left a silly react on this. I really meant to leave a fire react! @Subject056 The jersey swap is on point and the fire theme is well executed.

@Trunkxolotl welcome to Vancouver. Excited to have you join us for our playoff push and beyond.

1. Starting off with a Superbowl question just as a bit of a warm-up; Who did you want to win and why? Neither team tbh. I'm not a big NFL fan. If I had to chose probably the Eagles since the Chiefs have won more recently? 2. This week is Theme week and we are talking rivals so Who do you think is Vancouver Wolves all-time rivals? Why? When the Wolves were the Quebec City Meute, our most heated rivalry was against Helsinki as we lost in two straight finals to them. Now it would be Moscow but that was before I took over from @Nykonax. Now I would say Prague or Calgary as we have beaten both recently. 3. Who do you think is our teams main rival this season? Why? This season I would say Calgary or LA as it's a tight race for #1 in NA. I think whoever we play it the post season will determine who our biggest rival is going forward. 4. As a player do you have a rival? And is it friendly or competitive rival? When Moreau was still active I think his rival would have been any player on Vancouver. The animosity was high since I had built a passing player and Vancouver at the time was taking advantage of all scoring. Vancouver was the most guilty but Moscow definitely followed suit later on. It was too late for Moreau to alter his build though I believe at one point he had 95 passing and 99 scoring. 5. In light of the near miss involving a Helicopter this week of one of our players; Have you ever flown in a helicopter and if not would you ever? I was happy to find out everyone was alright as management fly's in a private jet and clearly the players have to take a helicopter? Maybe @dogwoodmaple can confirm. After his article I will never fly in a helicopter. 6. And once again most got close to the riddle last week but missed it by a bit as the answer was: Hattricks – Both do Hattricks!! LOL!! So let’s try a new one this week: Riddle: I have the power to fool or instruct. To convince or distract. To give or retract. You may use me but never know my impact. What am I? I'm not going to cheat this time and actually make a blind guess. I'm going to say money. But I'm likely way off.

@a_Ferk @Gaikoku-hito

@KaleebtheMighty always nice talking trade with you. @Spaz good luck in Malmo sorry it ended before you even got to suit up.for Vancouver. You should have a larger role in Malmo going forward. Hopefully it works out for everyone.

Game Recap: 296 Davos vs. Toronto Two teams at opposite ends of the spectrum, Davos chasing contender status and Toronto in the midst of a full.on rebuild. This game featured two promising young goalies in Lachlan Summers @kirbithan vs. Joel Castle @animal74 both from the Season 86 class. In this game Davos held Toronto to just 11 shots and Summers stopped every single one. Davos may have the strongest tandem in the league with Booberry mentoring Sumners. The game wasn't really noteworthy for Toronto and one they'd like to forget. For Davos the young guns dud the scoring with Bentley, Knievel @TMGSosaand Champagne @Anthique all potting goals. Castles holding Davos to only 3 goals on 38 shots was impressive. As far as games go this one was quite pedestrian. The results were predictable.

1. Player builds are always fun to look at and play around with so I guess the first question this week is: Are there any skills that you would like to learn this year or through your career that might help you become a better player? I think puck handling is a very underrated stat as well vas having higher defense than scoring. There really isn't a perfect formula for the hybrid era which makes things more interesting. 2. Staying with the same topic: What do you think helps the team more Defense or Offense? Defense always. Especially with good goaltending. 3. In light of some players announcing sponsorship deals with airline companies, what sponsorship contracts would you like to see your player sign or do you think they are a bit distracting? I think it's a neat idea. I would like to see more graphics with this premise. Having my player sponsor a beer brand would be awesome. 4. What was your welcome to the VHL moment and what season did you really think Yes, I have made it? It was in Season 22 with the Helsinki Titans and I found team success as a rookie despite subpar individual stats. I stuck with it and eventually the individual success came. 5. In light of a new game that I am following close in Hogwarts Legacy if we were to place the Sorting Hat on your head what would he say about your character and what house would you be assigned to? Why? Honestly I have mo idea I feel like my character would be socially awkward but quite funny. I'm actually having a hard time remembering all the house names. 6. Since no one guess that Goalies have the nice apartments last week as they have the biggest pads, I am going to give you all a chance to redeem yourselves with another riddle: What do hockey players and magicians have in common? They both perform tricks with sticks? Magicians with wands and hockey players with hockey stick.

@JB123

Jersey swap says otherwise.

Pierre Emile Bouchard FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY.

1. Not to sound silly here but did anyone expect us to start the season 12-0-1? What has been the biggest surprise been so far in the new season? Why? i'd be lying if I saud I expected it. But we have a great group so anything is possible. I think the biggest surprise is our 5 on 5 play in a league with so much parity. 2. Nezuko @Baozi steps straight into the team and leads the wolves in points; was this expected when Nezuko @Baozi first signed in Vancouver or did you expect them to take time building chemistry with their new line mates? He has replaced Leduc's production and then some. Just glad he chose to sign with us in FA. Now we have to deliver and get him a cup. 3. Is there any question around who our current MVP has been this season? Who do you think it is and why? I think Fuhr has stolen the show this season and is a big reason that we're 20-4-1. 4. Our two rookies, Wann Kerr @VattghernCZ and Jens Lekman @Bobcat have now played a dozen games in the VHL; How would you rate them in the first dozen games? (Scale 1-10) 10. These two have very bright futures in this league if they weren't in Vancouver they'd be leading the league in rookie scoring. Just lucky to have been able to draft them both. 5. What has been the most impress aspect of the current team record and is there anything you think could be improved? Just a general commitment from everyone to get the team wins. I think the only thing we need to improve is our special teams. 6. Riddle: In Hockey, which players have the best apartments? I gave up on this one fairly quickly so I'm going to give a terrible answer. The players that get paid the most?

A lot of what you said is true there really isn't any grand gesture when you get called up to the bigs. Most members have to find their own motivation and self fulfillment. Kerr is also playing behind a deep forward group so it will be difficult to contend for ROTY honours. Hopefully team success and me doing my job as GM can keep you around long enough since the individual accolades might ve a while yet. Kerr also had a very strong season in the E so it might be a bit tough going from over a point per gane to half that Hopefully that motivates you though, you have a ton of potential as a player and member.

Only if you want to be rich.

I guess the BOG is all bots after all.

If it weren't for the salary cap Calgary would be a dynasty. That was a goated draft. @Ricer13 @jacobcarson877 watching you go from fringe active to one of the most active and respected members of the community brings a tear to my eye.
