1. Make a bold prediction about the VHL, for the remainder of the season. Moscow will go undefeated for the remainder of the regular season starting tonight. If I'm wrong then we win the cup. 2. What is more likely, Papa gets to 5 SO for his season total, or Idaho hits 50 goals? I'm going to say Papa cause we need his 5 SOs more than the goals. But can we not have both? 3. Which Moscow rookie has been most impressive, Preo, Wattson or Karja? All three have been impressive. And I can see all 3 being a part of the next core group of Menace players. 4. Do you play video games? What are you playing right now? I used to play warzone but just don't have the time right now. 5. I ordered 20 wings last night at 12AM and ate 3. What's been your most recent regretable purchase? A new truck as nice as it is to own a car the payments drag you down over time and stop you from saving as much money as you should. Flip side you own a vehicle and used ones aren't cheap anymore either. 6. How done are you with winter? Ready for allergy season. And warmer weather.

@Nykonax Where all the meta posts at?

3 meta cups counts as 1 real one. So they're almost there.

@Spartan

Good luck @NJDevils24 hopefully you and @eagle_3450 can go head to head in the playoffs. Maybe we'll see you back in San Diego next season. Thanks again to @BrutalBoost for easy negotiations.

1. Moscow stands 4th in the EU and 7th overall in the league. Are you happy with where we currently stand? No I wish we had a better record but since the trade it feels like we've been steadily improving. 2. The past two seasons we were dominant, but in this season we've seen some adversity. Is this a good or bad thing as we pass the halfway point of the season? Hard to say, but I think I speak for all of us when I say playoff results at this stage are all that matters. 3. We currently hold a losing record at home, what do you think could be the reason for the lack of home ice advantage? Too much pressure from the fans, after back to back finals losses. 4. If you could bring one player onto the Moscow from any other VHL team which one would you choose? Peepy Poopants since him and Moreau could form the ultimate anti meta pairing. Also @JardyB10 is a wonderful human. 5. Leroy Johnson is a staggering 6-2. Is it time to start thinking about who should be getting the starts? Nope, no disrespect to Leroy but we know who the better of the goalies are. He has been admirable in his role. 6. How do you feel about your own player's progress this season? Only really disappointed in my plus minus. Be nice to see my player have a positive rating by seasons end.

@jRuutu the hero we need.

Can't wait to watch Retoslav progress in the coming seasons.

250 is a pretty soft cap. There's been a slight inflation in tpe recently. 220-230 would even be sufficient. Also the gap of 200-400 tpe is greater then the 60-70 tpe a waiver claim has at the start if the season vs a 200 tpe player.

Based on what? I have players on my team currently that want to earn a little over the current cap and stay in the VHLM also that 200 tpa per player value will fluctuate with league activity and strength of drafts/recruitment.

But you have draftees higher then that at the VHLM draft.

The only issue is members lose interest if there players are poor in the sim. Being bottom half in the league two straight seasons in tpe likely means poor performance.

Inactives get released from VHLM teams. Allow the player to chose which league they prefer to play in some want to move on and some prefer to stay and have a great season. A simple cap of 250 (200 tpe and 50 banked solves that issue) before the cut off.

@jacobcarson877 looks like it's been decided for you. Because? Reasons.

Which is the problem players should be able to bank past 200 before the cut off.

Meaning they can still bank after 200 tpe, before the cut off?

With the introduction of the VHLE, the VHLM now has a 200 TPE cut off at the beginning of the off season. I always understood it as the player being allowed to bank after 200 tpe up to 250 to stay down in the VHLM. This is no longer the case. Quoted from the VHLM rules: Players who have earned 199 TPE or less at the VHLM Cutoff Date during the offseason will be eligible to spend the upcoming season in the VHLM. However, if they pass 200 TPE between the cutoff and the start of the season, they could be called up to play in the VHLE. Players may earn past the 200 TPE threshold while they are on a VHLM team, but they can't have more than 199 TPA. Subsequent TPE need to be banked, and will be made available to the players when they graduate from the VHLM. Based on what I have been told by @McWolf it's the players choice but they need to draw an arbitrary line in the sand at the start of the offseason and it's not even for the reason of stock piling VHLE teams. A player can earn 200 tpe by the cut off and start banking and be required to play in the VHLE even if they would prefer to stay down in the VHLM for another season. That basically takes away their choice either they stop earning or go to the VHLE. The VHLE was introduced so players with lower TPE could be competitive in a league other than the VHL. But the league is full of 300-400 tpe players so a player just above 200 tpe will now be subject to another sub par season in a new league. So now a lot of new players will have a hard time in their first season in the VHLM seasons and continue to be mediocre in their first VHLE season that should surely make them more active, or wait they can stop earning so their player will be good. So they can have likely a couple mediocre seasons and force themselves to stay active or they can stop earning (which is the opposite of being active by the way). Am I crazy? Or does this rule make zero sense. For the player or the league. If it's the players choice then let new members decide what they would prefer. Should there be a cap after 200 tpe that you can bank before you have to be called up to the VHLE abolishing the cut off date for VHLM players? Or is the current state fine? The change I'm proposing is to remove the cut off date for VHLM players only and allow them to earn past 200 tpe and bank the rest up to a certain amount. There will be no unfair advantage for these players but it will allow them to have a better second season in the VHLM as opposed to starting at the bottom of the barrel in a new league. Also allowing them to earn as much tpe as they want without the worry of being called up. Most of these players will likely need one season in the VHLE after their second VHLM season, at which point they will stand a better chance of having a successful season. @rjfryman @Acydburn @diamond_ace @Beketov
