Spartan

Just want to say that this is the best graphic I've ever seen - so good that we possibly can't allow you to claim it for 6 tpe since it'd mean we'd have to deny everyone else for being bad. Sorry bud!

Head on over, I'll treat you

There was, but I'm also really not looking to turn 5 bucks into a tax write-off lol. If I was donating a significantly large amount, then maybe. 5 bucks is like 2 and a half fewer iced teas. I'll live.

I got the "if you want to donate, donate through the actual organization so you can turn it into a tax write off - be smart with your money"

Hell I'm 21 and I got yelled at by my parents for donating in the last charity drive we had here, and I had to brush it off as a hockey blog/site running donations for a good cause. I don't know how many parents actually understand that internet communities can be wholesome and safe, but at least for me, it's not that simple.

Reach out to me after the regular season, I can give you the information

I'm starting to strongly believe in results after 700+ TPA being a byproduct of team composition, so yeah. I'd probably be more interested in running around in FA to maximize stats then if I was HoF-hunting.

I'm fairly certain that the calculations here are on the high side, even for max earners, mainly because of the old recruiting format. Edit: I've just realized my earning rate per season with Letang is 158.25, so initial calculations are probably fine. Ignore the sentence above. I think uncapped TPE has also cut down since S71, which is why I don't think you're seeing many folks in future classes (S73+) go ridiculously beyond the others in their class unless the class was weak. But I think that 1k TPA would be for someone truly standing out, I think like 1% of the userbase. 1.1k might be a tad high for TPA, but overall the calculations here do show that you could have a significantly higher TPA player by staying in the VHLE for a season than to go for 9 in the VHL. However, I also agree with the point of "what in the world are you spending TPE on" beyond a 950 TPA build. SK/PH/SC/DF is all gonna be a 99, and fewer and fewer folks are going past 80 CK because of the PIMs. Centers make sense for this comparison because of the necessary FO/ST investment, but I think it's also important to note that non-centers/goalies would likely be able to have 4 99's with a 950 TPA build, and could probably still be a top player in the league by going 9 years in the VHL. Higher attributes has been proven to not guarantee a dominant player (yes, yes, we all know who I'm talking about), but 950 TPA could allow for folks to comfortably be a top player while fighting depreciation. For reference, Letang has been a 850 TPA build for his entire peak and has had 3 99's and a 95, as well as 3 80's and a 60. TPA-wise, he's pretty consistently been a top player at his position, but he's not "great" by any means. Frankly, if 950 TPA is the peak for a 9 year all-VHL career, I might prefer to go straight to the VHL if I can land on a team that will give me big minutes my rookie year to negate the initial 100-150 TPA difference.

but not paris

you didn't answer question 3 sir

this is why I can't trade your goon ass smh

I have no clue what I'm looking at. Abstract art?

Patric Twist has crossed 50 TPE +1

oh for fucks sake

@Pattyquote and confirm I "recruited" you

Perhaps a bit too blunt eh? Also way too upbeat for me, I'd use that if I was being held hostage and sending a message to my parents.

1. This might be a bit of a surprise, but I think our 2nd line is our make or break line. We know that our first line can generate offense and be a mismatch on the ice, but without our 2nd line to log difficult defensive minutes, we wouldn't be on the streak we are now. 2. It's just exciting to see the hard work pay off. Markinson and Tipton are stepping in and generating offense from the blue line, Glass and Grapes are scoring goals and proving themselves to be the top 6 wingers we had imagined for them to be. 3. I would love to see the Berlin Blitz come back, and of course another Russian team. 4. The Spartans would be a dope name for any team 5. Well Pens were eliminated so I'm not really following much. The Avs are something special though, I caught the highlights against the Golden Knights and they're just on another level. I don't think anyone can stop them 6. We haven't done anything yet, but I know we wanted to barbecue later in the afternoon/evening when the weather gets a bit warmer. It's sucked to have rain and cold weather all weekend, since I went out and got some meat and veggies for a barbecue. Got a mango habanero sauce to make some chicken with, was really excited to use it on the grill.

https://anchor.fm/spartan56/episodes/Spartan-Solo-Bolo-e11tufg Answered questions from: @Vat, @Ledge and Dairy, @Juice, @Prout, @McWolf - thanks to all of you for helping me talk to myself for a full hour! Prout is the MVP with like 20 questions. Not going to tag everyone I mentioned, so I suppose you'll have to listen and find out I get to claim this for 4 weeks. Happy Memorial day folks!

why are you still talking in my thread for podcast questions when I said that I don't give a shit about the leafs/habs series lol, debate me on discord, let me earn my tpe in peace

If I played in a GM league with only 5 other teams for like 35 seasons, I'd sure as shit have a lot more cups than an expansion team who's only existed for a little more than half of the time I was in the league.
