I make a brief appearance for 2 TPE while I wait in a customs line after leaving Vancouver. Cruise was nice, I read a couple books on our balcony in some pleasant weather and got to hang out and get plenty of drinks with friends. Still out and about for a couple more days before I get back home, and I'm looking forward to being home. Although it seems the Moscow lads have been quite motivated during my absence to go on a ridiculous win spree. Big props to @jacobcarson877 for manning the ship while I've been gone and keeping the weirdos on the team in line. I've finally recruited another person to the VHL, hi @Bea! It's been too long since I've been able to claim some recruitment TPE and also bring a good friend into the league, so hopefully Cysteine becomes a solid player over time. We're both happy with the start so far and hope to keep seeing improvements. Lastly, I have covid again (I think). Have a nice weekend and drink some beers for me.

Honestly, we lost a fair amount of talent this offseason and now we're back to letting young players into the starting lineup. I think the goal for this season was to hope our first line would drive most of our offense and our second line would just not be a liability, which does suck a bit for your production. But I'll see what I can do for special teams when I'm back.

Lmfaoooo this is such a banger as I sit at a window table for breakfast

Straight to warsaw

Presser while I cruise 1. Where should management treat the players on an all-expenses paid vacation to after a cup win? 2. I have no clue how sims are going, recap them for me please!! 3. How is @jacobcarson877 doing as AGM in my absence? 4. Be honest, should I just fade into the shadows and let Jacob replace me permanently? 5. How's your player doing after a fair bit into the season? 6. Deadpool and Wolverine was a solid summer movie. Have you seen any movies this summer, or have any you want to watch?

Brother I just won the cup and YOU made me watch hentai to re-sign you, freaky ass Cruise is fun though thanks for asking, gonna go throw back some oysters now.

Presser for the new week! 1. The season has started and we're a few sims in! How would you assess our performance out of the starting gates? 2. What do you think should be our main area of focus in for improvement? 3. Are you surprised by how any of the VHL conference standings look? Which team has surprised you the most? 4. We have MOS, CGY, LA and WAR 1st round picks this season. Which one do you think will end up being highest by season end, and why? 5. David Rashford @Knight was named our captain for S95, and has had a fantastic start to the season with 20 points in 11 games. What do you think drives him to be such a strong leader by example? 6. Wrong answers only - what activities should I participate in when I go on my cruise to Alaska at the end of this week?

Yea the option applies to the last year you fill in a value for, if you just offer one year, the option goes on that year. You can't pick up options for the season when FA starts....since that's the point of exercising an option. So you'd have needed to add a 2nd year in the offer to get the option on S96 instead.

Speaking of which, your contract offer to him was fucked up, you gave him a 1 season extension with a player option that can't be executed. So I'm just going to pick it up for him and you'll have to give him a fresh extension for next season.

We don't really have a rule in place around this, but to me it seemed like it was the condition executing since the player signed with the team that acquired their rights. If we want to be more granular, then I suppose I could escalate it to Blues and see if a hard line can be drawn. That's up to @leandrofg if he wants to appeal it though because I think he'd have grounds.

@leandrofg finished!

I assume this is the Boom condition being met?

Celise Pereira over 500 TPE, claiming 10 and is complete https://vhlportal.com/players/playerfocus/5839

@Bea pls quote and confirm that I recruited you, thanks

New week new questions! 1. First week of the new season is here! How're you feeling going into the season? Well rested? Not rested enough after a deep playoff run? 2. Who do you think will be the X-factor player this season for the team to have success? 3. We have two rookies joining the team this season, Maverick Goncalves and Jillian Woods. Any words of advice for the youngsters? 4. How did your offseason training go? Was there anything in specific you worked on? 5. Recruitment is always an important topic. What would you do to bring recruits in to the league? 6. I listened to a song for 5 hours in the last 24 hours. What song could you do that with?

It auto does it because of where the portal thinks a player should be after drafts/cutoffs, GM has to manually fix it every time with the call-up button

That's so fucking sick

wild wtf

Ok maybe I ask some questions for folks to answer, oops 1. MOSCOW ARE YOUR S94 CUP CHAMPIONS!! How did it feel to win the cup, and in the process, break a long drought for the organization? 2. Wrong answers only: How do you think I celebrated my first Continental Cup win? 3. Obuz Schneider Canet du Bocage won the Kanou, for being the playoff MVP. How crucial is it to get strong offense from your defensemen? 4. What will you do with your day with the cup? 5. How do you feel about our chances to run it back next season and repeat as champions? 6. Any words of farewell to some of core players, Axle Gunner @Steve and Leif Reingaard @Zetterberg?
