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

1. Right before the season started we moved Nico Pearce; Did you have any last words for him? Yes I told him that Helsinki was a nice play having started my career there and that he better play like shit every time he faces Moscow. 2. We acquired Kyosti Karjalainen and Wattson Power in the deal; How do you feel about these two young prospects? Two exciting prospects with high ceilings. Hopefully they can contribute sooner rather than later. 3. We are off to a mediocre 2-2 start. Level of concern 1-10.. At the time of me answering this we're 5-5 so hopefully we improve enough to be a post season team and then go on a tear after the trade deadline. 4. Sergey Preobrazhensky is not just another long name, he's our rookie this season. What expectations do you have for the young scoring center? Just to keep improving everyday. He's been a stud since we drafted him and he'll be a big part of Moscow's future. @Bulduray_1 5. Are you excited to watch the Olympics this year, or is it not the same without NHL players involved? I'll watch some events but not as interested without the highest level.of hockey. 6. What is the best timing for Press Conferences? Is it important I get them up ASAP Monday, or is it cool whenever through the week? Whenever you have time. I just appreciate that someone does it. Thank you @STZ
