This exact strategy always works for me!

Welcome! We have just started the playoffs so you won't be able to join a VHLM team just yet, but the GMs for the Junior Showcase Tournament should be announced soon, and you'll be able to compete in that to raise your draft stock! If you have any questions feel free to DM me!

welcome back buddy! best of luck on this go around!

All in all, this season should be counted as a win for Landon Wolanin. Career highs in everything that matters, working his way up the franchise leaderboard, hopefully taking Calgary to a Victory Cup and a deep playoff run. But there was so much more that could’ve come from this season. 100 points was pretty much the goal this season, with at least 40 goals. I got the goals, but it doesn’t look like I’ll be getting the points I need. I suppose the goal also should’ve been 50 goals considering how much Landon loves to shoot the puck. Only Baby Bob and Ronan Lavelle have shot more than Landon and scored more. The rest have gotten that little bit of extra puck luck that would have turned Wolanin from a star to a superstar. Although I can definitely feel for the couple of players who shot more than me and scored less. I’m thrilled about the season, but if anything it has made Landon even hungrier for next season, knowing how much was left on the table this season. If there’s a world that Wolanin could shoot ~10% he could realistically compete for a scoring title.

look mom i got a jruutu feature!!!

I think there's definitely something to be said about a system like that. If I understand the SBA system at all, it seems you can go for quite a long time, and depreciation hits you harder and harder each time, so it becomes a tradeoff of whether you want to push for records and such, or get that carryover to pump out another great player. We all just kinda plan 8 seasons into our players here, taking the hit because that's jsut expectation. It would be really cool to talk about letting players play a 10th season (considering they can technically already play 9 if done right, and take that tough depreciation again), maybe with a 15% bracket, where you truly couldn't keep up a peak build, but potentially solidify HOF, or push for 1 last cup or something before tapping out.

I honestly think more people should think like this. There's a stigma against retiring even a season early, and people can really hold that against you for players moving forward. I think a player should be seen as any other project, which you pursue so long as it remains interesting to you. Obviously you should communicate with your GM about what they should expect, but so long as everyone knows what you're planning, there should be no negative will towards you! Only reason I want to take it to 8 seasons is because I never really got to flex my building muscles with my first player, mostly because I didn't earn great, but also goalies don't really have a lot of build variation, even less than skaters. And hey Landon is off to a hot start to his career and maybe one day I'll take down some franchise records or maybe earn some awards, so may as well give it a shot while I'm here!

yeah gustav wrote a big ol article about it a while back

ah yes just what i need... more TPA you're objectively correct but also i likely won't have the spare TPE to do it just hoping the extra PIMs doesn't counteract the added DF

I talked recently about builds, and how I would be hoping to build off of the great Duncan Idaho. I hope that is still true, but it will truly come down to how much uncapped TPE I can pull together in the next couple weeks. My peak build comes in at 1260TPA, which I’m about 8-10 weeks from hitting. That is almost a whole season cycle so that leaves me heading into the next playoffs hitting my peak build. I’ll have a couple weeks to get some additional banked to hopefully survive some depreciation. The real struggle will be on money. With 5 more contracts coming in, 5 more donations and 500k sitting in the bank, I’ll have 32.5M to my name for the rest of my career. Dropping 8M and 12M on depreciation fighters and 7M more on a Jagr takes 27 from that, leaving me with a very frustrating 5.5M left. Hopefully we can scrounge up 500k and I’ll get another uncapped TPE package. With a 1260 peak build and those fighters I’ll need to a) get to 1260, and b) hold it there. Depreciation, with 2 5%s and 1 8% is 744TPE, taking off a Jagr (I’m assume order of operations means I don’t depreciate from the 8% and not the 12% although I may be wrong there) taking off another 55TPE leaves me with 689TPE to bank. Fun fact my first player, Jacob Carson only ever earned 687TPE! So from the 1104TPE I have at the moment of writing this, I have 156 TPE to earn to hit 1260, plus the 687 to keep it there which means in my career I need to earn 1947 TPE. Wow. What makes it better, is that I don’t actually have 5 seasons to earn that, because I want to keep the build up instead of earning it back through my 8th season, so I actually have 4 seasons to earn that 843 TPE, without the help of any Uncapped TPE packages or career tasks now. I don’t think that’ll be possible, and that’s pretty annoying now actually, since I didn’t have the time to really adjust my plan, because well I need to start banking pretty damn soon. If only I recreated at the TDL and got that extra TPE (plus Christmas TPE) last year. I’m also reaching the point where I’ll soon have to invest TPE into CK which I never really intended on doing, just to make any progress on the DF I really wanted. It is simply too expensive to gain it any other way, and it is a bit disappointing to be forced into either incredible inefficiency or a specific build style in order to accomplish my goals. I know you might say “You don’t have to keep building, you could just stop now” and to that I say, but what if I want to push the limits of what I can do in the stats I care about? 91DF feels like a cop out at this point, when I know I can maybe actually be a 95DF kind of player. Anyways, enough complaining. I meant for this to be a vhl.com article but here we are, and I guess that means pushing my free week back another week. One day I’ll take a break, although If I’m going to make 6 Job Pay anyways, it feels like a waste to use a free week when I could just get a couple points and be even. Oh yeah and I need to write PTs and such to max earn in other leagues anyways and I damn well can't write about basketball or football so I wouldn't be doing any less work, just losing my prime position in the approval queue as a job holder. Maybe I’ll petition to sell it next time I write something. Then maybe I could afford to reach my goals.
