Hi folks, 
 
As the title suggests, I am stepping down as Istanbul's GM with immediate effect. I will of course stick around for a clean and proper transition/handover. 
 
The main reason is that I see myself lacking in some aspects of the position and I think that the players have a right to a GM who gives it their all. At the moment, I do not have the energy for that and it would be unfair to the Red Wolves as well as to any aspiring GM to cling on to the position, which could be given to a more committed member.
 
I wish the Red Wolves all the best and I am confident that the commissioners will appoint a GM which will do the Franchise justice.
 
Live long and prosper,
 
Daniel (aka Kurt Janser)
 
 

In S95 maybe 

certainly not new york they dont even make the playoffs

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. 

Counting up the wins over Davos this season

Dear Mom and Dad:
 
 Hey it's me Logan again! It's been an interesting few days here in Stockholm, but I'm actually enjoying myself here. The country roads are way more relaxing then the craziness of New York traffic, and I just enjoy looking at all the culture that is around me right now. I hope that you all are doing well, and I am really glad Dad's health scare ended up being a false alarm. Still, I would be careful and make sure his is still alright during these next few weeks, as we never know when something like that might flair up again.
 
 Maybe limit his caffeine intake so his heart will be ok? I know that's hypocritical coming from a coffee nut like me, but still. Another thing that I want to tell you is that I actually found a nice girl! Yes I know that my last girlfriend did not go so well, but this girl is extremely nice and I think this will go way better then last time. Her name is Izumi Saito, and she is a reporter from Japan who moved here to report on hockey games. I know, she has a perfect profession to complement what I do! Anyways, I hope you too are well and I hope to see you during the off-season.
 
 Your son, Logan.

Another hockey game has ended for the Stockholm Vikings in a 4-2 victory over the Geneva Rush, and it was once again time for the post game media scrum. Logan Foley was one of the first to reach the podium, looking pretty happy after yet another victory for the Vikings. He still wasn't that good with the Swedish language, though he had taken some lessons, so he had a translator with him. Thankfully, most of the reporters do speak some English, so this won't be too hard on him in terms of communication.
 
 "Hello there Logan" one of the reporters says to begin the questions "this question is not related to the game so I do apologize, but I am curious about how you are finding it here in Sweden. It must be a big change from a place like New York or even a place like Mississauga in Canada"
 
 "Well yeah, going from a crowded place like New York to the wide open spaces of Sweden is quite a bit change I will say." Logan answers "however, I love the feeling of how relaxing the long green grass filled roads can be, and I am a coffee nut so the amount of coffee can be a big plus for me too."
 
 "Oh?" The same reporter begins to ask "then what is your favorite kind of coffee or coffee creamer?"
 
 "Oh that is easy: I absolutely love sweet cream and vanilla caramel creamer in my coffee, though I will drink it with milk and sugar if I have to."
 
 "Hello Logan" another reporter started to ask "I understand that you were being moved up onto the first line, how is that working out for you?"
 
 "I'd say that it is working out pretty well" Logan smiles"yeah it is a lot of responsibility, but I feel like I can handle it all. It just shows everyone how much work I have been putting in during the off-season and during the season as well." Logan smiles, and soon he takes his leave once the questions switched over to his teammates. As he walked out, he saw his new girlfriend Izumi Saito waiting by his car with his camera. "Guess I am not done with all the reporting that will be happening today"
 
 "Well all I really need is a photo" Izumi smiles "all you need to do is too look like you are doing something else, and my boss will be fine with it" Logan decides to look back at the arena in order to look distracted as Izumi takes the photo "my boss is a bit is a stickler about getting pictures that look spontaneous, so I needed it to just look like a spur of the moment thing." 
 
 "Does your boss know that we are a thing now?" Logan says, his eyebrow raising.
 
 "Well he probably does, it seems like everyone in the office does after Freja found out and told everyone she could" Izumi says, slightly annoyed "however I don't think that really matters in the end. Let them know, I'm just glad we are together"
 
 "Me too honey" Logan says as he kisses her cheek, where afterwards they both get into his car to head back home.

@Spaz

1. World Junior Championship finished last week with Wann Kerr @VattghernCZ and Jens Lekman @Bobcat winning gold for Europe; Do you actually follow the WJC? Why or why not?
A big congratulations to them both, they're already building chemistry ahead of their rookie seasons in the VHL. Both players are off to a great start despite playing behind some strong veterans. I try to follow all things league related but of course if my team or players on my team are involved it peaks my interest that much more.
 
 
2. Continue to talk about best-on-best tournaments, the World Cup final is being played today. Do you follow the World Championship? Why or why not?
I always followed the Continental Cup more than the World Cup, only because it feels like a bit of an all star game at times. Still an interesting tourney none the less. 
 
 
 
3. Last week the team drafted Oreo McFleury @JB123 with the fifth overall pick and brother Reese McFleury @Spaz with the eighth overall pick. Can you recall the other two other players selected in similar position that are currently key aspect of the Vancouver Wolves roster? Who are they and are the McFleurys` going to have similar success in Vancouver?
Dogwood Maple and Pierre Emile Bouchard. If Oreo and Reese have the same success it's going to be strong run in Vancouver going forward. I was really happy we got both @JB123 and @Spaz it's going to really extend our competitive window with the cap the way it is. 
 
 
4. Later this week, maybe even as early as today this season captains should be announced. What skills make a good captain? Why?
A strong locker room presence and a talented player on the ice are my two biggest notes for who should be team captain. I think @Gaikoku-hito is very deserving of being selected team Captain. With that being said there are so many great members currently on the roster and in the system, that there would have been no bad choices. 
 
 
5. Issue faced by the league over the past week has been active UFA player unable to find a roster spot; Have you been following the situation and what would your solution be?
It's a tough situation since players who don't give much effort tend to be forgotten. It looks like it was sorted out and there aren't too many players left twisting in the wind. 
 
 
6. Riddle: With pointed fangs I sit and wait; with piercing force I crunch out fate; grabbing victims, proclaiming might; physically joining with a single bite. What am I?
I'm going to admit to cheating since I'm terrible at riddles but @VattghernCZ seems to be bang on, stapler it is. 

Happy bday OD!!

Sorry for the wait, hope this is ballin' enough


 
Note to self: claimed for week 1/29
