Shut up

I generally avoid naming GM/AGM players as captains since we're already in management. Otherwise would have definitely included Sogaard over Lavelle due to tenure, could have arguably been captain too.

The start of this off-season felt like it went by like a rush, but we're at the point now where we're just snoozing and waiting for the S87 season to start. There's no better time to announce next season's leadership group! We've seen some change with our last leadership group with Sergey Preobrazhensky sent to Vancouver midseason where he won the Continental Cup, so we'll have a new face amongst the group for the next season. First Alternate - Ronan Lavelle - @Arce The newest member of the Menace finds his way as the newest alternate captain of the team due to his extensive league experience and credentials. In just 4 seasons with the D.C. Dragons, Lavelle has won a Dustin Funk Trophy - Most Improved, a Daisuke Kanou Trophy - Playoff MVP, and a Continental Cup while also receiving the honor of being named Captain in his final season there. He's been a star on the ice, with 3 90+ point seasons in a row, and has already freshened up the locker room since his arrival. He will play a large role in Moscow's success this next season, both on and off the ice. Second Alternate - Hammar Voss - @BOOM Voss returns for a second season with the "A" on his chest, continuing to be one of the leaders on defense alongside youngster AK92 Wit da Hoodie and veteran Flynn Remy. Despite not displaying the stats of a true top pairing defenseman last season, we're understanding in that Voss was joining his 3rd team in as many seasons. We've seen Voss continue to grow and push himself to new heights after the struggles of S86, and rumors out of camp are that Voss has been showing flashes of legendary Moscow defenseman Hard Markinson, one of the top defensemen in Moscow history. We're very confident in a bounce back season for Voss, and feel he will remain critical to Moscow's success next season. Captain - Kyosti Karjalainen - @UnkemptCL4PTP Returning to his role as Captain, Kyosti remains the most veteran member of the Menace squad, and also the most consistent player on the roster. Despite the general struggles of the Moscow offense in S86, Kyosti found himself hitting a new career high in points with 69 (nice), marking his 5th straight season of recording 60 points or more. He's always attentive to the goings-on of the locker room, and is willing to pitch in ideas whenever he feels one is needed. We're appreciative of his loyalty and his contributions to the team, and are extremely happy to have him back on the team as the captain yet again. Congrats to all! Looking forward to a great S87!

He's still picking unless he misses this pick, then it'll be a DQ.

@Phil is skipped, @Gustav on the clock

@ThatCasual is skipped again, but since these are back to back picks skipped in 24 hours, I'll be a little flexible and allow until your next pick to make up your missed picks. If you haven't picked by then, you'll unfortunately be DQ'd. @UnknownMinion is up

Confirm

@Moon is skipped, @Jubis is on the clock

It was a back to back that he missed so I'll be a bit flexible this time and let him continue at 50%. If he misses another pick though, it'll be a DQ D - Bo Johansson D - Brian Payne

@ThatCasual is skipped, @Brandon is up for 2 picks

Maybe if you stopped dreaming and woke up, you wouldn't be so mid

Will drop the skip for now but if you have a pick that might begin at night again, kindly send your options either to your GM or to me. The time limit for picks has always been the same, don't know why you're getting annoyed at the person just doing their job.

@badcolethetitan is skipped, @Banackock is up

Can I do it tonight???

So I definitely agree that the league has been slow to react with some of these issues. I have said before that I think depreciation and salary brackets/cap/contract structure should have been handled with the E rollout, but just weren't. We've tried to get some of these pieces done, but with all the time into hybrid attributes right afterwards, the BoG ended up becoming quite sluggish for a couple seasons. Depreciation was changed on a timeline later than initially planned which has definitely factored into the issue today. Contract structure and cap changes have been fairly conservative areas since we hoped that addressing TPE inflation sources and depreciation would cover some of those issues. From a personal perspective, I'm quite hesitant to make aggressive cap changes since a lot of the time, I can identify ways that I would so to speak "abuse" said changes to make a more competitive team. We are discussing some contract structure changes, and have discussions on long term salary changes as well that make more sense with 9 season careers and TPE inflation. We are also discussing how to get actives prioritized over IA's without disproportionately helping teams who commit to egregious contract lengths or values, and getting them out of cap issues of their own makings. I also don't love abolishing the IA re-signing aspects mainly because of the positional fits. I think this season's issue stems from an excess number of forwards, but we also see teams with a shortage of defensemen. I wouldn't expect forwards to be re-signed unless they were still semi-active like Robert Wilk in D.C., but I do get teams re-signing or claiming IA defensemen like Juice Box and Harkat Mulds. Mulds has been a popular player to bounce around teams as an IA D-man, but to one of your points, he was never re-signed by the team he initially went IA on. It's not a case of a GM reaping the rewards of not doing their job developing the player. It's just that teams had a need for a 4th d-man and he was a piece that got retained or moved. Also if we just dropped IA re-signing entirely and didn't have an active FA class like this, like most other seasons, it'd essentially be rebuilders claiming IA's with their high priority to flip them right back to contenders. Or a different contender might pick up the same player. I just don't think there's a reason to reactively drop that rule because of this one offseason. Overall though, your podcast was good food for thought and hopefully the above provides some clarity and transparency on where my head's at and what we're trying to do in the BoG. I think we could get some solutions out for the current and the future fairly soon, just depends on Blue approval and ease of implementation.
