Hoping to see you back in full force one day! Was a pleasure working with you

Loved the feature! Glad you got to talk about Landon Wolanin after this past week! Caught me the week before, and I would've had 3 points and a 2 something shooting percentage! You're right I am feeling a little sneaky, not much to worry about when your team's offense is carrying itself so I'm just continuing to grind on my own stuff and see if it works out!

Probably fair placement, but I'm excited to see how we can do not playing the 1st, 3rd and 6th team on your list exclusively! Great article!

This is incredible!

Thank you for the bonus content

What is Landon Wolanin? The only natural winger on the Calgary Wranglers has had a difficult time maintaining consistent offensive output so far in his career, having several notable stretches without goals, and sometimes even points in general. He has played with some of the best in the game. He has trained as hard as possible, sitting as the 31st highest TPA forward in the VHL. Spread over 16 teams, that leaves him as most team’s 2nd or 3rd best forward. If that is the case then he has truly disappointed expectations so far. What is the goal for Landon Wolanin? Landon was meant to be digging in the corners, breaking up passes in transition and getting to the dirty areas to work for goals. He is not a sniper or a playmaker by any means and has never had a need to be a physical presence. He has always been able to rely on his superior stickwork, IQ and discipline. His skating has fallen behind a bit compared to his peers, and perhaps the play is simply moving around him too quickly now to be effective consistently. He has been focusing on his offensive technique specifically over the last few weeks, and his skating has fallen to the wayside. Even STHS seems rather disappointed in Landon’s development. He was handed a 71 overall, the second lowest forward rating on the Wranglers, behind only the rookie Sax Justice. It sounds as though STHS would encourage Wolanin to round out his development sooner rather than later in order to be rewarded at a higher level.

The Calgary Wranglers have been doing pretty well. Worse than we expected, but about as well as everyone else expected. STHS has us 5th on the power rankings, maintaining that position from the last time around. We’ve been flying on offence recently, but definitely letting in a few too many goals in the process. As we continue to train we should see less pucks hitting the back of our net. We have been beating the teams we need to beat, and losing to the teams that it makes sense to lose to, but we will need to learn to beat the top teams in order to achieve our championship goals. We have a tough stretch of games ahead of us, facing a lot of other hopeful contenders over the stretch. A lot of great teams on paper have gotten off to sub-par starts so far this season, and we have to watch out that we don’t spark their return to form. With almost everyone on the team now firing on all cylinders we just need to maintain our form and watch the points rack up. The Marlins are hard to judge at this point. Going into their 11th and final game against Miami today, and having only played 3 teams so far this season, sitting in 4th in the conference is a good place to be after 20 games. We are just below .500 and are sitting at a not-so-great -11 goal differential. There is definitely a lot to like though, including having some success as of late against the reigning champion Las Vegas Aces. We start playing our 4th – 9th teams starting in a few days, and I assume other teams will also be having this happen, so we should begin to see how the teams actually fall. It will really be a battle in our Western Conference to make the playoffs, as there are 5 teams all deserving of a spot. With Mississauga dropping their first 20 games the East should be all but set, at least team-wise. We have been rather on-and-off as a team, either having dominant performances or really having nothing to show on any given night. As we continue to get a trickle of new waiver players into the lineup, we will look to reduce the amount of time bots are playing, and hopefully have a bit more consistency from game-to-game. It has definitely begun to feel as though the weeks are getting longer. I mean I haven’t had to do a Media Spot in 4 weeks or something but man it feels like so much time between submitting tasks. I’m doing less week to week as well, at least when it comes to submitting manually. The perks of job pay are great, but also there is much less driving pressure to create and engage with the forum. I now spend my days responding to posts about the VHLE and VHLM and putting my 2 cents out whenever I feel like it (which really depends on how bored I am, which is a lot more now than before).

Absolutely! I would assume people would drop off earlier than that but you're right I really wasn't paying attention to it pre-VHLE. It could simply feel like people are dropping off faster now? Regardless it is always sad to see someone who was so passionate and contributing so much in the VHLM disappear on us, regardless of frequency.

It seems as though right now, the stretch from 200 to 400TPE is destroying member activity at an astronomical rate. I think it will be very important to figure out why people are disappearing in this transition. Why isn't the VHLE driving activity? My VHLE experience was amazing, and that Istanbul team pushed some of the top S83 talent. VHLM teams are almost always mostly empty by the offseason (either waivers being drafted to the VHLM, or players graduating to the E), so where are those graduates going? I just went through and looked at VHLE rosters today, and so many of the most active VHLM players and even legendary returning members are now suddenly IA. I think the E should be an essential part of the process (I think I've made my thoughts on the E in theory quite clear by now), but I can agree that something is inherently wrong, and I have no idea what it is.

Good work Marlins!

Very valid nitpick. It is definitely incredibly important that our character members feel as though there is something worth coming to the site for sim-wise. Ideally that's the niche pension fills? Obviously people can just be having a good ol time before finishing 2 careers (if i remember correctly its 2 700+ careers? Which is roughly 2 welfare+ careers by my math?) and I really have no answer for that that fits my philosophy so points off there for me.
