BRONZE MEDAL

I did the saaaaamm........ oh wait 300 tpe isn't great yet

I would probably think the same thing but honestly this literally took me 3 hours due to formating. I wish I was lying but its true. If I dont get multiple weeks oh my God ill be rattled.

MY GM CAREER EPISODE 1 (TRADES) I would really like make this a series and throw together a 1000 to 1500 word media spots on some of my experiences as GM. Everything from how i got the job in Calgary to begin with, to trades i have made. Another idea might be what the drafts are like from the Gms perspective. On a separate media spot maybe ill share what each GM was like to trade with. I am sure there is lots i can write about especially if i start busting out some stats to get me interested in throwing a media spot together. I want to try and set myself up for multi claims. I forgot why i hate doing media spots. The word police always be out in bunches. I can just throw graphics together moving forward and not contribute to media spots anymore. Unfortunately I am committed to this particular media spot now so i am getting my 3 weeks one way or another. If that means writing 2500 words to equal 1500 so be it. My trades , mean my words. Im only joking I won't be counting the trade total when it comes to my actual claiming. This media spot will be in the 2300 to 2500 word area and i will only be claiming 3 weeks. So for the members who want to spend their Saturday and Sunday mornings counting all my words here , relax. There is more than enough content here to claim for 3 weeks. Take that word police !!! I will do whatever is necessary at this point to claim 3 weeks. SEASSON 72es: SEASON 72 Calgary Acquires: Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen Vancouver Acquires: Brady Stropko Jr S73 CGY 4th (Frank Apples) S74 CGY 2nd (Maksim Yakolevsky) So this trade looks like a trade a rookie GM would make. From a value standpoint this may be one of the worst trades i made. We did make the Cup finals that season so it was not a complete bust. After making a trade like this you quickly begin to learn the value of picks. All the new GM's recently hired have already made better first trades than mine. Congrats! SEASON 73 Calgary Acquires: Joe Proto Vancouver Acquires: S75 CGY 2nd (Sheldon Juniper) S75 CGY 4th (Clinton Giftopoulos) So this was the the peak of the salary cap troubles. Bringing in an inactive Joe Proto. Calgary Acquires: S75 VAN 4th (Nikolas DAndrea) Vancouver Acquires: Jaxon Walker Anthoner trade but this time im moving away from an inactive player. Calgary Acquires: S73 MAL 3rd (Gary Rush) S74 RIG 3rd (chris foley) S75 MAL 2nd (Jakob Sosa) S75 MAL 3rd (Dominic Gobeil) Malmo Acquires: S73 HSK 2nd (Kirishima Wakaro) A trade that occurred during the draft. Malmo had a target and i was willing to receive multiple picks. Calgary Acquires: S73 LDN 1st (Kosmo Kramerev) London Acquires: Nils Friedriksen S73 SEA 1st (Alec Volchenkov) Tried moving up the draft. Did not go as planned but everything has a way of working out. Calgary Acquires: S74 HSK 2nd (Nicholas Sunderbruch) S74 NYA 4th (Kuisma Aki) HC Davos Acquires: Charlie Paddywagon Further salary cap problems. I was forced to move Paddywagon in his final season. Calgary Acquires: S73 SEA 1st (Alec Volchenkov) Prague Acquires: S73 CGY 1st (Andre Lebastard) S73 CGY 3rd (Zachariah Kisslinger) S75 CGY 3rd (Artem Tretiak) Looking back i dont like this trade but i was learning. Calgary Acquires: ACL TEAR HC Davos Acquires: John Poremba S74 CGY 4th (Piero Angela) Player rights deal that worked. Tear helped us win a Victory Cup. Now i started getting more comfortable in my position. Trades, trades and more trades. Salary cap troubles most definitely, as i continued trying to contend. This S73 draft I had a few forwards i was targeting heavily. Two forwards to be specific. Both Laine and Lamb ended up being selected just before our spot. We ended up selecting Kramerev and he ended up being amazing for the team. SEASON 74 Calgary Acquires: Arthur Dayne Alex Bridges S75 WAR 1st (L) Warsaw Acquires: Latrell Mitchell Willie Dredge S75 SEA 1st (Scotty Kaberle) S76 TOR 2nd (Javad Kamkar) This was a big one. So Mitchell was not sure about his future in Calgary and i really wanted to move that Dredge contract. I think everyone ended up ok in this deal. especially the players. Calgary Acquires: S76 TOR 2nd (Javad Kamkar) S76 TOR 3rd (JL Gunnar) Toronto Acquires: S74 HSK 2nd (Nicholas Sunderbruch) Live draft trade. Toronto had a target and i was willing to acquire picks to a later draft. Calgary Acquires: S74 TOR 3rd (Vsevolod Askarov) S76 MAL 3rd (William of Orange) Malmo Acquires: S74 SEA 2nd (Carson Walkers) Another live draft trade. i traded one of the Seattle picks i had acquired bellow. Calgary Acquires: S74 MAL 2nd (Eoin Byrne) S74 SEA 2nd (Carson Walkers) S74 PRG 3rd (William Shakespeare II) S74 MAL 4th (Jacob Carson) S74 SEA 4th (Frank THE TANK Googenheim) Seattle Acquires: S74 LAS 2nd (Lucifer Olivier Leveque) Bana Traded every pick he had left that draft for that early 2nd. Calgary Acquires: S74 VAN 3rd (Dale Miller) HC Davos Acquires: Joe Proto Oh yes it was finally time to move on from Proto. Calgary Acquires: Sigard Gunnar S74 LAS 2nd (Lucifer Olivier Leveque) S74 LAS 4th (Michael Olson) Los Angeles Acquires: Ryo Yamazuki II S74 CGY 1st (Lester Green) From a value standpoint, this trade was bad for me but i tried competing and it did not work. Calgary Acquires: Scott Greene S75 SEA 1st (Scotty Kaberle) Seattle Acquires: Kris Rice This was some of the easier trade talks with Bana that I've had. Calgary Acquires: Ryo Yamazuki II S74 MOS 1st (Luke Thornton) S75 MOS 2nd (Artair McCloud) Moscow Acquires; Mikko Lahtinen I was having delays signing Lahtinen and Victor approached me with an offer. Lahtinen went on to be the leagues best player in Moscow. Im glad Calgary still has Thornton who is leading the way as captain. Wow i did not realize all these big trades were all in the same season and all considered S74. I traded away Mikko Lahtinen , Latrell Mitchell and Kris Rice. What everyone needs to realize is if i thought i could not re-sign a player or if they were going to test Free agency, 9 times out of 10 i traded them. Not saying that is what happened with these 3 players. This was just my general approach to constantly re-coop value. I honestly loved having all 3 of these superstars on my team. All 3 of these trades seemed to have worked out well for players and teams. SEASON 75 Calgary Acquires: S76 LDN 3rd (ClapbombsRUs) New York Acquires: Eoin Byrne S76 MAL 3rd (William of Orange) S77 CGY 4th (Jordan Heavens) A trade put me over the cap and i immediatly made this deal to get back under the cap. Calgary Acquires: Lewis Dawson S75 MAL 1ST Malmo Acquires: Arthur Dayne This was a trade fully initiated by Malmo. Good trade talks and it looks like it helped them win the cup. Calgary Acquires: DeFenz Mann Patrik Tallinder S76 RIG 1st (Hulk Hogan Jr) S76 RIG 3rd (Markuss Puhovs) Riga Acquires: S75 CGY 1st (Cabe McJake) S75 MOS 2nd (Artair McCloud) S75 MAL 2nd (Jakob Sosa) S75 MAL 3rd (Dominic Gobeil) S75 VAN 4th (Nikolas DAndrea) S76 CGY 1st (Phil The Rock Johnson) S75 NYA 4th (Andy Nexber) S75 CGY 5th (Nathan Steele) S75 CGY 6th (Jared Carter) I wont beat this one to death. It is actually 3 trades combined into one for dramatic effect. Overall a swing and a miss on my attempt at a cup. Calgary Acquires S76 CHI 1st (Philip Stein) S76 CHI 3rd (Genghis Khan) Chicago Acquires: S75 WAR 1st (L) S76 CGY 4th (Kolby Uelk) Based on tpe i thought Chicago was going to be bad. They squeaked into the playoffs then went on that cinderalla run. smh Calgary Acquires: S76 NYA 4TH New York Acquires: Gary Rush No teams had cap space or roster space it seemed this off-season. i was forced to give Rush away essentially for free. One thing i can admit i was not scared to make big moves and trade picks to ''try'' and win. Trading away everything for the lotto 1st , Tallinder and Mann got us a Victory Cup but no continental cup as we ran into the weaker cinderella Chicago team who upset us. That loss to the pheonix stung, I think they finished that season 7-13-1, in their final 21 games or something in that range. Then out of nowhere they were absolutely just unstoppable. Congrats to them they have a good team now and just won a cup. I was always against the salary cap each season and finding Gary Rush a good home was something i was willing to lose on a trade for. Trading Arthur Dayne to Malmo was one of the hardest trades i made. I think i received good value but @Infernal was not a player i wanted to trade. In a trade where i traded away a player, this one hurt. I am happy things worked out and this trade helped get him and Frostbeard a Continental Cup. SEASON 76 Calgary Acquires: Cowboy Prout HC Davos Acquires: Peter Louis II New York Acquires: Liam Fischl S77 MOS 2nd (Zeljko Ranogajec) The last trade i made. Glad they signed Prout long term. Calgary Acquires: s77 MOS 2nd (Zeljko Ranogajec) London Acquires: S76 DCD 2nd (Dexter Vaughn) S76 DCD 4th (Adrian McAllister) Live draft trade. Pushing the pick to s77. Calgary Acquires: S76 MOS 1st (Magnus Verlander) S76 MAL 4th (Carter Bellamy) Malmo Acquires: S77 DCD 2nd (Joshooo) S77 VAN 3rd (Kirby Pandora) S77 WAR 4th (Apollo) S78 CGY 2nd This trade occurred minutes before the draft started. I wanted to land another 1st round pick and Malmo wanted to move out of the draft. Calgary Acquires: S76 DCD 2nd (Dexter Vaughn) D.C. Acquires: S76 LDN 3rd (ClapbombsRUs) S76 DAV 4th (Nathan Askarov) Live draft tarde i moved up and DC acquired couple picks. Calgary Acquires: S77 MOS 1st (Joe Madison) London Acquires: S76 CHI 1st (Philip Stein) A simple 1st swap. s76 to s77 Calgary Acquires: Liam Fischl S76 MAL 2nd (Germano Henchoz S76 DAV 4th (Nathan Askarov) Riga Acquires: Lewis Dawson S77 CGY 3rd (Jere Suominen) Was trying to go younger in Calgary so this trade transpired. Calgary Acquires: S77 WAR 4th (Apollo) Warsaw Acquires: Jacob Carson S78 MOS 4th Too many goalies and i was forced to find some of them new homes. Calgary Acquires: Riley Couture Sheldon Juniper S77 VAN 3rd (Kirby Pandora) Vancouver Acquires: S76 MAL 1st (Jivere Zolnek) S77 CGY 2nd (Gary Tarantino II) This trade took like 8 or 9 days to finalize. Sad Couture is gone from Calgary now but happy Juniper is still there. Calgary Acquires: S78 MOS 4th Moscow Acquires: Michael Olson S78 CGY 4th Another goalie i had to move due to having too many. Calgary Acquires: S76 DCD 4th (Adrian McAllister) S77 DCD 2nd (Joshooo) D.C. Acquires: DeFenz Mann S76 CGY 3rd (Miks Sunish) This trade happened very quickly. That is all i remember. Calgary Acquires: S76 LAS 1st (Tom Eagles Los Angeles Acquires: S76 RIG 1st (Hulk Hogan Jr) S76 CHI 3rd (Genghis Khan) What happened here was, i had concerns with Toronto trading up and taking my target. I paid the price to lock in the player i really wanted. EAGLES! My 6 trades in one calendar day is the most I have seen in my time as GM. I doubt it is a record or anything though. I was happy to bring Prout to Calgary and help get him locked up long term there. trading for him will forever be my final trade as Calgary GM. Ironically enough i end up on New York with my new player shortly after the trade. I mean in hindsight some trades were good and some were bad. Some big plays did not pan out the way i had hoped but i am sure most Gm's can say the same thing. I will admit overall i was a bit too trigger happy when it came to trades and its not always a good approach. So I gave Ricer details on all GMs and what to expect from trade talks with each one. I also said I regretted not making more trades with @Peace. Over the seasons he made some great offers that I was too dumb to realize at the time were the best offers. I feel like there are a hand full of GMs i made most of my trades with. Wait what, I never made a trade with Helsinki. I never realized that. Jubo and I had good trade talks a few times , i guess just nothing materialized. If i wasn't so lazy right now, i would compile a list of the amount of trades i made with each GM. The truth is i am really trying to reach the 1500 word mark. This is all i have for now. I worked nightshift all week and have been awake many many hours and am too tired to continue lol. If you have read this far, thank you. Forgive me for any spelling mistakes , typos and just any errors. Like i said i am very tired. I am going to take a power nap , so i can start my weekend. Yay 1500+++ words i made it. Actually with some heavy editing i have added over 700+ more words to this media spot. To bring this to over 2200 words but i am not done. If this is going to continue to be a headache to claim going forward I will simply make this my last media spot. I mean if it is going to be this difficult i will just do my graphics. Graphics take less time and garner less bs. GOODNIGHT ! JUBIS OUT !!!!

Team world with a great start!!!! 5 goal game. Thats insane What are you feeding your player lol ? CHARA AND REINHART ARE CRAZY D PARTNERS

ZEEDAYNO CHARA ROOKIE EXPERIENCE Zeedayno Chara has always dreamed of playing in the VHL. He played his final year of Junior for the Barrie Colts of the OHL 2 years ago. Now at 22 years old he entered the league as a free agent. He signed with the Miami Marauders of the VHLM. Chara played 36 regular season games and 6 playoff games for Miami. He put up 2 goals and 31 assists total in those games. After he was eliminated from the VHLM playoffs Chara's focus was on the VHL draft. He had no idea where he would be drafted. There were many mock drafts that predicted what spot Chara may be selected at. VHL.com had Chara going 8th to Riga , VSN had him being selected 7th by Calgary and another local newspaper had Chara also going to Calgary. Many teams showed interest but Zeedayno didn't know what team was going to call his name on draft night. Finally the draft begins and Chara sees the top Defensemen Reinhart selected 2nd overall. He waits in anticipation. Moscow makes a predictable pick at 3rd overall and now the New York Americans General Manager steps up to the podium. Esso: " With the 4th overall selection, the New York Americans select Zeedayno Chara". Chara was ecstatic to step up and dawn that Americans Jersey. He was excited and proud to be part of an organization with such a great history. We are currently in the off season and Chara is officially a VHL rookie now. He signed a 3 year entry level deal. Season 1: $2.5M , season 2: $1M and season 3: $1M. He is very optimistic with New Yorks future. The team has young promising players in all positions. Zeedayno was excited to be joining the team that selected Red lite 1st overall in the previous draft. If we had to predict Chara's season stats they would be as follows: 6 goals, 35 assists , 41 points. Not bad for the defensive minded rookie. Not close to ROTY worthy but a respectable start to career nonetheless. Big Z plans to get to know his new city before the season starts. He will play the role of tourist this week and check out all the sites. His teamates gave him a welcome package that included: white New Balance shoes, a fanny pack, sun hat , long white socks and a old Polaroid camera. Dressed in his new attire, Chara will check out the Big Apple tomorrow. Will Chara's rookie season surprise people, be predictable or will he disappoint? With the season 77 just around the corner all these questions will be answered with his play on the ice.

@STZ last couple hours to pick. Then @BarzalGoat you will have 2x picks

Team Lets go !!!
