tf does this even mean

aint no way you picked the america ya girl

That's a nice, PG way of putting it!

Look at the emote name

that ain't even the real phrase

1. Always enjoy the break of the offseason. As a GM, it's great to get to make some trades and roster moves to get the best roster possible for next season. As a player, I don't get to suck and let the team down. 2. Realistically goalie, a bit worrying for Syko with such high TPA at this point to be dropping duds in important playoff games. 3. We've had some pretty big changes by seeing Grimgor Ironhide and Kronchy Kardashian get traded away, as well as bringing in the 1st and 2nd overall picks this draft! Maybe there's still more to come? 4. Defense for sure. Imo it's just the best attribute overall and makes every player better. 5. Chicken pot pie. Dunno how it started but loved the ones my mom made. Just got one this past weekend too, was so good. 6. Nothing to do except to keep improving. Can't take steps backwards.

So who got scammed???

Poll said you, I'm clean!

Hello! Congrats to @Lemorse7 for being appointed the new Riga Reign GM! We're sure he'll do a great job in the VHL. For now though, we will need to find a new GM to take the reigns reins over in Philly. Please comment below if you are interested in applying for the role. Serious applications only in this thread, anything else will be sent to the gulag. Feel free to DM me or Gus with any questions, comments, concerns. Happy to discuss the positions with any interested candidates! - @VHLM Commissioner

Hasn't been a thing for VHL in a long ass time Welcome to the EU @Lemorse7, looking forward to scamming you soon!

Still not a fan smh

Mild nitpicking here, but the condition has to execute by next offseason. So if 95 LDN 1 is non-lotto, you're all fine and dandy. If it is lotto, then the next pick would have to be pre-determined to move since you can't wait for S96 1st to be determined. So might just need to be a wording tweak there to be S95 1 lotto protected otherwise 96 1

Imo depreciation advice and planning is one of the most underrated pieces of advice a VHL GM can offer. I don't think I'm very pro-active about this so not praising myself in any way here. I think players can have a much better time towards the end of their career if a GM sits down with a player a season before their first hit and lets them know what to expect and how to prepare for it. It really makes a world of difference and too many people just sit on their contract money forever with no fighters or Jagr purchases.

I like to trade and get good players, not much else to it

Quick chats, thank you @InstantRockstar! I enjoy trading too much

Might as well hop on this feud stuff, it's been great twitter content recently. Anyone want to start a rivalry? I spoke, literally yesterday, about having some lower motivation recently - but there's nothing like trade chats to get the juices flowing again. Trading has always been one of my favorite things to do when it comes to sport management. My Chel franchise sees turnover every few games I play when I feel like there's a player I'm not enjoying as much on the team. Even in Madden (where the trade deadline is so fucking early), I love to make trades to try to roster the best team possible within cap limitations. There's not much difference with the VHL here where we're always trying to ice a roster that will best fit our goals. Today was certainly an eventful day for Moscow, where we made our first three-way trade, at least under my tenure. Originally, the discussion was between myself and @samx as I kept her apprised on our status with re-signing @FrostBeard as it impacted a condition found here. Essentially, if Moscow didn't re-sign Ironhide for S94, Moscow would return a 2nd to HSK and HSK would send over their 1st rounder in S94, which turned out to be 6oa. However, I was trying to find a new home for Ironhide outside FA and Davos ended up as a strong suitor. After a fair amount of discussion where I turned down @Alex multiple times, the trade ended up being the behemoth found here. Essentially HSK sends Davos 6oa they owed Moscow, Moscow sent Ironhide to Davos, and Moscow received 1oa along with Ellis Woolfenden which was a side trade with HSK that just got tossed into this three way for the sake of just not having to send another trade. Everyone loves packed three ways, especially the commissioners who had to figure out "what the fuck" happened (not verbatim) when reviewing the trade. But overall, Moscow finishes the day with 1oa and a hefty decision in tow. However, Moscow wasn't done there, clearing some cap by sending Kronchy Kardashian @Garsh to Warsaw in exchange for a future 1st rounder in S96. Needing to roster a full roster for S94, moving Kronchy was a necessity. At the end of the day, there's now room to re-sign underrated forward David Rashford @Knight as was always the plan, and now the final D and F spots are the last to be filled. In theory, Ellis Woolfenden @D3X and Nils Andersson @Viper would be the simple options to finish out the roster, but I can't let things progress simply and quickly. There's always another trade to be made!

Never in doubt

Fuck I selected the wrong defenseman @Grape Thank you @Garsh for a brief but fun part of a season with us, always nice to let you roast me in the team chat instead of the public chat. I'll be punting you out immediately after this. Best of luck in Warsaw! @N0HBDY Cheers for the chats, good luck next season!

Ah I'm prepared for the incoming SLAP

It's my first one

@FrostBeard I appreciate your time with us in Moscow, wish we could have kept you a bit longer. But I know last season wasn't totally up to par for your goals and we weren't sure if it'd turn around for next season. I hope you find all the success you hope for with Davos! @samx Once again, apologies for how this all went down but thank you for being patient with me throughout the process. Glad you made some moves in anticipation for this result, was a smart call and you mitigated it well. @Alex For once your persistence with me pays off . Didn't think I'd be moving Frosty but worked out, enjoyed the chats. @D3X Stoked to have you back man, time to get some wins in Moscow this time around!

Condition: S95 MOS 3rd goes to S95 MOS 2nd if Grimgor Ironhide does not sign with Davos for S95. If Ironhide is traded before the start of the S95 regular season, Davos will return the S95 MOS 3rd for S96 DAV 4th. @Alex to accept

Pretty nuts to use your mugshot as a song/album cover. Anyways it's Sunday night and I haven't done something for my final 2 TPE of the week. I thought about doing a PC but wasn't feeling it. Not really feeling writing a VHL.com article either. But can't lose the perfect 12 capped streak. Motivation a tad bit low, wish I could take a nice 2 week break for the offseason, but I already feel very behind just from taking a couple days off for mother's day weekend - league doesn't stop for anyone, especially GMs and commissioners. Will just have to power through and see what roster Moscow can put together for next season. Interesting cap situation for Moscow, going from being like 6 mil under cap to being over the cap if we re-sign all our FAs. So some changes will have to be made, as always, and we're navigating how some of that looks. The most unfortunate, for both us and HSK, is the situation of Grimgor Ironhide. If Moscow doesn't re-sign Ironhide, then HSK forfeits 6oa to Moscow. While we feel very confident in bringing back Ironhide as a player since negotiations have gone quite well, the cap issue remains present. While Ironhide is 2 seasons younger than David Rashford, another forward FA, the chance to get 6oa might be more heavily weighted. There's still about a week to FA, and around that much time until the to-be-scheduled VHL Draft, so trade lines are still being worked. The end result will leave a bitter taste in my mouth for how it all plays out, as Moscow is sure to lose a talented player that will be missed in the LR and on the ice. But that's just life for a GM in a salary cap world.
