Between Vegas and Washington doing things barely anyone predicted it should be a good year for my NHL predictions on here haha. I think if Washington gets into their own head too much (or if Fleury keeps being unstoppable) Vegas could take this; especially since they are FAR more rested. However if Washington can play like these last two games they should be dominant.

Nice to see the new guys on the roster. Never gonna win with a third of the shots though.

Some shows also don’t have a pilot episode. Generally I find pilots to actually be worse first episodes because they try to cram too much in so that the studio heads kinda know a bit of everything. Some shows just get approved immediately or don’t actually use their pilot as episode 1. Season 1 of GoT was definitely not it’s best work but it wasn’t a dumpster fire by any means either. I’m not gonna lie @BluObieZ, it kinda sounds like you’re just being an industry pride that thinks everything needs to be Kubrick. To each their own if you didn’t like it but it’s hard to say something is awful if you wanted 1 season and everyone agrees it gets better as it goes. Ik also still curious what stuff you’ve worked on. You’ve been saying for 10 years you’re an industry guy but you’ve never once offered up a credit to check out. Not that I want proof, just that I’m curious what you’ve done.

That’s fine.

You did it perfect, it’s just a manual process. Once @Beaviss gets things updated you’ll be set up for the next VHLM draft.

@Higgins / @Will Could we please get that roster update in? We’re 3 or 4 sims removed from the deadline and the trades still aren’t processed. I’m guessing it means some new guys still not in lines as well.

That’s one of the options discussed. Keeping the VHLM cap at 175/200 but having a secondary cap around 125/150 that, once surpassed, means VHL years start counting down. So it still helps the guys who can’t reach it but if a vet wants to stay down extra long and abuse the system they are going to lose a lot off the top.

That doesn’t mean we’re going to rush a decision and let people le take advantage of it. Rushing decisions is how we have historically wound up with awful systems. This is being discussed, we’ll find a solution.

1. A massive resurgence by Saskatoon has put your Storm into second place, do you still think your team has what it takes to win in the playoffs? 2. Outside of the Storm, which team would you like to see hoist the cup the most?

1. Do you forsee a Pajodcast resurrection in the VHL or is this an ADV only run? 2. With the recent recruitment efforts we have received a lot of players who have never done something like this before. What would your best advice to these new guys be? 3. Of the current players not in the Hall of Fane, who do you think deserves to be in the most?

1. I would say our age. We have some very top-end S62 talent but we don’t have Jose veteran VHLM members that some teams have to push them over the edge. Our recent additions will help but we need to get them into the roster first. 2. Hard to say. I’ve been saying since the get go that Cast, Gate, and I were likely to be the top three and I stand by that. I think team needs are more or less going to dictate who goes where. 3. Probably Gate or Jokinen. You two and myself are all pretty close with points but the defensive stats obviously aren’t even close. I may have the most goals but that doesn’t mean I’m any better than you guys.

The league doesn’t make decisions based on “that’s their problem.” The point of this is to not ruin early careers of be guys by having the VHLM rip their years away when thhey legitimately cant make the cap. It isn’t for the sake of vets to abuse. We will find a system that fits both of those needs.

But they will retire a year sooner. And have less TPE from the get-go. Let’s assume two players both earn 100 TPE per season and both hit 200 (VHLM cap) at the same time, let’s say these guys are drafted this season so S60. Player 1 decides to stay down a season, player 2 decides to keep earning. If we just did it the easy way you suggest player 2 retires after S68 having earned 1000 TPE in his career. Player 1, however, got that extra season of earning. Therefore he retires in S69 at 1100 TPE. You see the problem? 100 TPE more in total AND he has more TPE going into his entire career. I’d love if this was as simple as just saying that VHLM years now don’t count but it isn’t that simple as here are very easy ways to abuse it if we did that.

Basically whenever the deadline was announced. This new batch of guys from the ad we agreed should be S62 to spread the drafts out. @Beaviss want to make sure they get labelled and listed correctly?

New guys are being defaulted to 62 to give them some extra time unless they want to jump into S61.

The difference is 100+ TPE; it isn’t minor.

I’ve akways said he community is what has kept me coming back all these years. I’ve been in the VHL now going on 12 years and was doing sim leagues in some regard at least a year or two before that. If it was just “post x, get y, repeat” it would have gotten very boring very quickly. The community is what keeps things interesting.

I’ll have to look into it. Maybe welfare is capped but affiliate welfare isn’t. Would make more sense. I know affiliate welfare has no cap. I would consider a cap if we could figure out a reasonable one. I have never liked the idea of multiple caps (personally I like that anyone willing to do the effort is rewarded in the VHL) but welfare is being unfairly weighted a little bit right now.
