G - Ben Dahl Should mean @jhatty8 can pick his G now

It does not work like that . DQ teams keep their picks and will continue to be competition for you. You need to repick

G - Ben Dahl @Brandon

@Vkobe-v will step in and take over from @samthemancub. Sorry to hear that you're unable to continue Sam. @Doomsday please note that Kobe will get 50% payout for being a late joiner. Advise him what picks he needs to make up as well please.

He's already been picked, please repick

I do dumb things sometimes, yes, you are . Sorry about that.

Just clarifying you meant Kyle Peace right? F - Matty Fire F - Brendan Marner @Phil is up again

Skipping @Phil, and it should be a DQ but I understand the troubles of having a newborn. For now I'll leave it as a 50% payout reduction, but if he misses more picks, it'll have to be a DQ. @aimkin you're up

My experience is quite limited so far, but Ghost is actually really good live (thanks for the rec, Bek). Volbeat performed with them the same night as co-headliners, and both were awesome live. Machine Gun Kelly opened for Fall Out Boy a few years ago and he was actually better than I expected live. Would have thought he was the headliner. Hopefully BMTH in September will be the best concert I've attended

@McWolf is DQ'd, please tag me for all his picks from now on. F - Matty Fire D - Aurelien Moreau @Hogan

F - Matty Fire Now you're up @Scurvy

F - Henri le Massif D - Jan Hlozek @STZ

G - Cole Pearce @badcolethetitan

I can see the merits of increasing from 50% of teams making it considering that a 4 team playoff was decided when it was a 6 team league. I believe our playoff formats are limited to the options in STHS, so I'd be curious to know what the options are for an 8 team league. I like giving the top seed a bye and add a fifth team so we're at 5/8 teams in the playoff. I also think it gets sketch to have teams under .500 make the playoffs, but in a league with a lower and upper bracket for TPE, development during a season can lead to playoff success. Teams that develop should have the chance to show it off in the playoffs. Maybe a 5 team playoff would be neat to see, granted if STHS allows it.

You are correct, thanks for catching that. Since he's skipped, I'll still allow you to make your selection now. @DollarAndADream please advise that you need 1 forward, not 1 defenseman

In the interest of keeping this group going, while also recognizing it's the final round and DaaD's final pick, I'm going to skip @DollarAndADream but won't DQ him. The three remaining teams need goalies and one needs a forward. Therefore, I'll give DaaD until the final pick is made to select his final defenseman. If he has not picked picked by then, I will make the pick and he will get 50% payout. @JCarson Since you are the only person who needs a forward, you can make your pick anytime. @Beketov is unavailable for a bit due to the family emergency he's posted about elsewhere on forums, and we've agreed that I'll make his final goalie pick for him and help get the group wrapped up while he's away. For Bek: G - Oskar Lindbergh @chikn

Ope my bad, F - That Dude

Hello! I am once again here to announce Moscow's captains. I fear that the captain curse has returned, as our fearless leader Duncan Idaho @OrbitingDeath was traded to D.C. We'd just like to thank him again for his contributions to the roster since he was drafted here, and wish him the best this season on his new team. However, we're still very excited about the state of our roster, and still have some phenomenal voices in the locker room who are very passionate about this team, the people, and our collective success. Without further ado, our leadership team! First Alternate - Jan Hlozek - @Bojovnik Moscow tradition has generally been to award the most tenured players on the roster with a letter, but I strayed away for a bit in order to reward passionate and vocal members above simply longevity. Bojo perfectly embodies both, managing a time zone difference to remain connected with the team and one of the best hype men on the team, providing motivation and exhibiting fiery passion constantly. This will be Hollywood Hlozek's final season in the VHL, and we will continue to rely on his skill and experience to lead the squad from the blue line. Second Alternate - Henri le Massif - @Garsh Similarly to Bojo and Jan Hlozek, Garsh and le Massif are relatively recent additions to the Moscow organization, but have made their presence immediately known since their acquisition. Garsh is one of the most active members of the locker room and is now stepping up into a first line role. With his experience in the league, continued passion for success and great personality, he's simply an awesome guy to have around and he's very deserving of receiving an A. Captain - The Seabasstard - @Seabass After four seasons in a row of wearing the A, The Seabasstard receives a well-deserved promotion to the C. A quiet and underrated member, Seabass has broken personal seasonal and career bests for multiple statistical categories, and currently sits 6th in Moscow's all-time points leaderboard with two more seasons left to continue moving up on the list. His presence is steadying to me, and his passion for the team is unmatched. He has long desired to spend his full career on Moscow, and I'd be more than happy to acquiesce. Congratulations on receiving the captaincy Seabass! Shoutout to @STZ as well for being an awesome AGM over the seasons as well, and for all of his contributions in the locker room and in our back room discussions. He's been an awesome resource and voice of reason, and we are very appreciative that he is our AGM MOSCOW MOSCOW MOSCOW!

F - Brendan Marner @dlamb
