  1. I will be hiring you next Sunday!
  2. GG RIG
  3. Moscow is in playoffs! Started off with a bang, beat the brakes off Davos in a 4-0 stomp. Satisfying to see, the Goncalves siblings dropped like 9 or 11 goals in 4 games and everyone was pitching in. Now we're on to Riga who's a strong team for the final time before their stars retire this offseason. I'm sure they'll be playing hungry to get out of the 3-2 series hole. That's all I'll comment about playoffs to avoid a jinx @flyersfan345 has been promoted to VHLM GM, and is taking over the Halifax 21st! He's been a great AGM for the last couple seasons, coming in as a first gen and pitching in immediately with roster composition ideas and trade options. The consistent pressers have been a blessing as well which I greatly appreciate. I'm sure he'll do great in the M, and we're also very happy with Scurvy and Lee joining MIA/MIS as well. That does mean Moscow is looking for a new AGM, and I'm hoping to bring in someone else new to the GM'ing scene that is eager to learn more about the role and try to be just as involved as flyers was. S99 draft is coming up and MOS will be picking somewhere between 13-16, which isn't the most exciting position to be drafting from unless it's pick 16 (without a trade). Funnily enough, all three of my AGM applicants so far, @Kisslinger, @PacifistKit17 and @JB123 are in this draft class. Might have to select an AGM based on who I end up drafting out of the trio Either way, offseason will be interesting given the holes we'll have in the lineup after the S90 retirements. Satou will have to be moving to C officially, and god help us all if he has to be the 1C next season. Cool times on the horizon!
  4. Sure that's what I already do as GM
  5. Everyone makes mistakes, it's pretty much how you get experience and learn moving forward. I don't know what your LR vibe was but I wasn't hearing anything bad about it so that's probably a good thing, and you gave some players some great statistical seasons. The trades and whatnot, yea, not optimal for your future, but you have some assets to move around now and there'll be buyers for sure. Keep your head up, HSK did better than I expected and I'm sure you'll fix it up.
  6. Solid career
  7. Hello, My dear AGM @flyersfan345 has been promoted to M GM and is leaving me. I'm now looking to hire someone new to bounce ideas off of (and potentially help become a GM in the future ) Requirements: - Be able to do lines if I'm out of town - Do pressers if you want - Want to learn about GM'ing actively - you need to be willing to ask questions and make attempts to learn! - Not be involved in other VHL team management/advisors Hmu on discord if you have any questions, comment below or DM me if you want to apply
  8. Hi all, As is par for the course in the VHLM, we once again face turnover in the VHLM GM role. I'd like to start by thanking our departing GMs, as each had valued contributions to the VHLM and made a lasting impact on numerous players who passed through the M. @Ricer13 - Congratulations on being appointed the GM of Calgary in the VHL! Looking forward to competing against you in the big leagues. @rory - Thank you for coming back to the M, and I've deeply appreciated the efforts to shed past labels to become the best M representative you could have been. @ace_five_ - A first gen who stepped into the role, your contributions helped bring MIS back to relevancy after some dark days, and your draft streams have always been exceptional! We will miss all three in the M, and wish all three the very best in all future endeavors in the league. Who knows? Maybe we'll see them again in the future. With that, we're also extremely please to announce three new GMs, all three of whom are brand new to GM'ing but have developed strong cases to step into this critical role over the past few seasons. From picking up AGM jobs to offseason tournament GM positions, and even diving deeper with various analysis focused pieces, this group has shown a lot of determination to build up their resumes. Without further ado, please welcome the following: Miami: Halifax: Mississauga: We're extremely excited to bring in some fresh faces to the M, and we hope you all join us in congratulating our newest VHLM GMs! To all others who applied, thank you for taking the time - this season might have been the most Gus and I have discussed potential candidates because of such a strong and large pool. If you're ever curious on what you can do to improve your chances in the future, my DMs are always open! - @VHLM Commissioner
  9. Season 99 VHL Draft Lottery Date: April 27, 2025 Time: 1:30 PM EST Hi Everyone, Before getting into the final draft odds and the lottery itself, a reminder of the rules regarding the Draft Lottery: Please keep in mind that the Draft Lottery Tournament was removed, and is no longer being used to adjust odds after the regular season's conclusion.

  11. Yes, there have been a couple notable situations over the past few seasons too which reaffirm the need to ask these questions. There's a lot of stuff that also doesn't get asked because you wouldn't expect it to be a sticking point, but one day it pops up that the prospect only mentioned it in a single line in a vhl.com somewhere and now the GM is surprised.

  13. Sort of commenting on the tl;dr-esque portion of this since it's easier to quote. Re: point 1, this is pretty much the approach I've taken to most of my irl social media. I don't post, I don't share, partly because reflecting back on younger me's social media usage made me realize that it all felt performative and unnecessary to seek out some odd form of validation or self-assurance by getting likes or comments or whatever. Not everything needs to be shared and broadcasted to the world, and I've felt a lot more satisfied with my life not having to constantly try to compare myself to other people in my life beyond what could influence my career progression. From the second point about our direct forum structure and usage, I've been unknowingly following the (16) bit about supporting people who post their efforts or thoughts on the forum. I usually don't go out of my way to comment unless it's impacting Moscow in some way or is a general league concern/question, but I do like to drop a react to show some support for whoever took the time to provide something of use to the league and the forum. Doesn't cost anything to drop a like, and maybe it'll encourage people to keep posting and being active. Good read!
  14. Slam dunk HOFer for sure
  15. Wait you're cooking
  16. will be sending him to the gulag on your behalf as well
  17. 1. Speed is OP in DDSPF so I'm actually saying DI is OP in STHS 2. That screenshot has to be fake I'd never say something that optimistic about DI
  18. There's no waking up, you're cooked
  19. In reference to your comment about not being sure of the rules, everything's in there to get up to speed with the M's workings!
  20. As a former Mac only user, it is hell, and I think you have a 2% chance of getting STHS to work on it after doing cartwheels on your Mac using emulators. While I won't say it'd disqualify you from the job, it's just a really big hill to have to overcome unless you have someone in mind to be your AGM who can consistently do lines for you.
  21. 1. I think MOS/RIG is stronger in the EU, but there are NA conference rivalries that feel deeper overall. 2. Sibling power, both of them have 4 goals in 2 games. What can you do when the siblings are playing out their final ride together before Catia retires? 3. There's no weak opponents in the playoffs. Even the "worst" playoff team in LDN managed to take a game off Davos in a shutout. 4. Obuz definitely ambushes me with something in his hand, salty, but don't think it's smelling salts.... 5. The blood and tears of my opponent. But realistically varies a bit, can't be opposed to a nice sandwich or some salmon and pasta. 6. I don't really think you could prank me, but I could certainly get the bus into a tizzy if I get on aux.
