woooooo

Hi! Didn't make a hiring thread or public announcement about it, but with @BrutalBoost getting a promotion to Sasky GM, Moscow's AGM spot was left vacant. Fortunately, we were able to hire a fantastic replacement in @STZ, who will bring many, many seasons of VHL experience to our management team! Congrats Steez, glad to have you . Moving on to our captain announcement, we unfortunately lost @IHateBobNutting, keeping the Moscow captain curse going. He really was a fantastic captain, and I will really miss him around. However, we're lucky to have plenty of fantastic members on this team who show leadership potential on the team. First Alternate - The Seabasstard - @Seabass Seabasstard returns to the first alternate role, one that he held last season as well. He took huge steps forward, and his appointment to the leadership team reaped immediate rewards, as Moscow made it to the Finals last season. We'll be counting on the veteran leadership from Seabasstard to make another deep run this season! Second Alternate - Hard Markinson - @STZ Markinson, draftmate of The Seabasstard, joins the Moscow captain team for the first time. One of the leaders on the back end, he will be tasked with mentoring the young defensemen of the team such as Arvid Johansson and rookie Zdeno Chara. Under his leadership, along with the pure skill of Aurelian Moreau, expect the Moscow defense core to take major steps forward moving forward! Captain - Duncan Idaho - @OrbitingDeath The clear cut leader of this team with stoic poise, Idaho leads the team with few words, but plenty of actions on the ice. OD is the top earner on the team as well, and serves as a role model to everyone else. Co-MVP of the S80 season and certainly Moscow's Team MVP, I'm very pleased to name the anchor of our franchise as the captain! I'll do my best not to trade you.

can we get a different simmer, this one's cursed

still @nurx as two picks need to be made back to back, but it will count as one skip

@Hogan that's 12 hours, 12 more for second pick

@Enorama skipped, @Ahma on the clock

good song

oops F- Paul Atreides @Crstats23 I think?

@KaleebtheMightyfirst pick skipped, on the clock for your second

1. I'd like to temper my expectations as a rookie, especially as a rookie on a team that went to the finals last season. I think fellow rookie Zdeno Chara will likely have more success as he'll be forced into a large role with the departure of Tyler Walker. 2. As a GM, there were a lot of good players in this draft that I wished we could have selected. There were a lot of good choices in every round, but I'm very happy with Preobrazhensky in the first and our other discord actives in the other rounds. 3. I think Preo will be a top prospect and player for us, and I also have high hopes for Bernier, Charlie and Skambraks. All of them show a lot of potential, and as a GM, I'm excited to work with them to further their development. 4. Haven't picked one yet, but maybe we'll have to run three alternates next season to avoid the captain curse. 5. No comment! I really don't want to do it but.....it just happens. I can't control it 6. I'm excited for Thanksgiving, but less excited that I can't really celebrate with the people I normally celebrate with since we're not yet all comfortable having large indoor gatherings yet. We may have my cousins come down from Boston so that would be nice if they decide to make the trip!

@FrostBeard has been skipped for his first pick, but he has another in the back to back, so 12 more hours.
