Never said it was new, doesn't mean I have to like it. Seems like the kind of thing that should involve a loophole getting closed. Something along the lines of "Players signed via FA during the off-season are not eligible to have part of their contract covered via trade." Of course the commishes gain from it so it's not likely.

Well there's a way to skirt the cap, get the player you want to sign somewhere else and then trade basically nothing for them.

Had some major recording issues for my historic 25th anniversary podcast but I think I managed to get the commentary audio to sync up and work, hopefully it's not off. For the 2nd Podcast this week I decided to play some MWR while I answered questions from @Kendrick, @gorlab, and @mpclardy so enjoy! *For Sokolov

Managed to sync it at lunch (at least close enough, thank god I work with editing software) but my company's upload speed is abysmal so its going to take awhile. While we wait, why not ask some questions for next time? @eaglesfan036 @Shaka @ADwyer87 @boom @der meister @Victor @YEAH!stlemania @Phil @tfong @ChrisF @George Costanza @Molholt @Mr. Power @Draper @Banackock @gorlab @JardyB10 @evrydayimbyfuglien @Jericho @DollarAndADream @Kendrick @mpclardy

I’ll have to see if I can salvage #25. I recorded the whole thing this morning and, for some reason, my commentary is gone. I can hear it in a raw file though so maybe I’ll get lucky and be able to sync it up and get a video out. I can’t guarantee anything though; I don’t normally do any post work on these.

I actually played 1 quick game of infection after I stopped recording so that I could get to the prestige without wasting too much XP.

Another early morning CoDCast, first for this week. Answered questions from @boom and @Phil while playing Infinite Warfare. Will be recording another episode tomorrow; maybe featuring MWR. Questions will be from @Kendrick, @gorlab, and @mpclardy so if you guys want to give opinions on MWR vs. IW I'll take them into account. *For Holik

Having full carryover when most of us are 2nd player prospects doesn't hurt haha

That doesn't make any sense though? He's keeping Mexico out and making Mexico pay for it so if we're keeping Google out shouldn't Google pay for it?

First goal of my career is the team's first goal of the season; plus a win to boot. I'll take it!

Even though I couldn't stay long I will confirm that @mpclardy is a fantastic host for guests and people should go hang out with him.

Not sure when the next time you’re planning on doing a podcast is but might as well get my questions in: 1. What do you think the North American Conference playoffs in the VHL will look like this season? 2. Any teams you think will make a big push this year? 3. Do you think Podcasts are starting to take over from the more traditional Point Tasks? If so, why do you think that is? 4. Do you think people should give the same questions to multiple Podcasts or come up with original ones? Personally I like hearing different people’s takes on the same questions. 5. Would you ever consider being a guest on the CoDCast if I could ever figure out a way to do it or would the timezones be too tough?

1. What do you think the North American Conference playoffs in the VHL will look like this season? 2. Any teams you think will make a big push this year? 3. Do you think Podcasts are starting to take over from the more traditional Point Tasks? If so, why do you think that is?

1. What made you decide to join back up? Be honest, was it the CoDCast? 2. Coming from an outside perspective, what do you think the North American Conference playoffs in the VHL will look like this season? 3. Any teams you think will make a big push this year? 4. Why stop at 1 TPE? Why not make it longer and go for the full 6. 5. Do you think Podcasts are starting to take over from the more traditional Point Tasks? If so, why do you think that is?

Got a new adapter ring just in time and got my mic orientation fixed so that (lack of pop filter aside) everything sounds perfect. Gonna record 2 CoDCasts this week, 1 tomorrow and 1 Wednesday so get your questions in while there is still time!

No doubt. I'm not concerned about it not getting done really, just bringing it up as a point that would need to be watched out for. Especially given how busy updaters are at the start of every season.

Gotcha, fair point. Definitely would need policing in that case to really make sure people don't keep them since we' could potentially be talking about a fairly sizeable boost.

You said it would bump from 80->95 though which isn't true. At 15 TPE it would bump from 80->85

Doesn't leadership still follow the update scale? I thought only experience didn't. Either way I like this idea but we would definitely need a way to police it to ensure people aren't keeping their boosted leadership during seasons they don't have a letter. We would also need to make sure teams are only assigning 1 captain and 2 assistant's as there have been times teams have done more. With it doing basically nothing it doesn't matter but if it's free attributes it does. I'd also like, if this goes through, to remove the bias against goalies being captains but that's never actually been disallowed, just not normally done.

Aw come on, I'm at the top of the leaderboard and Victor's at the bottom: just let me have this one haha.

That should be plenty for 1 CoDCast this week which is great! I'll try to get it recorded tomorrow or Wednesday. If people want to leave anymore though I'll gladly move them forward and maybe have time to do 2 CoDCast's this week! Also, I will do my very best to offer questions for those that have offered them to me.
