Mr. Hickey

Ehh probably not right now, super busy at work, getting married soon and just living life. It’s is nice to come back here an reminisce. This place got me through some tough times so I’m happy it’s still around. Maybe one day I’ll make a player but as most know, I usually get bored or lazy really fast :p.

Hey guys great job! Big part of my childhood. :)

Only if that's Bratislava vs Saskatoon. And BUUURN sometimes. 

Glad to be highest riser. I think when I get updated in the sim I'll be much better

Oh please, Vincent Adultman is obviously three children stacked on top of each other in a trench coat.

Thanks baby

Review: Wow, Dermaux is a fucking bitch and Bratislava does smell like stinky pussy. That being said, I'm glad Fabio is going to make a full recovery. I like the detail you put into explain what happened, and I like that the fight had social media in a frenzy. Good grammar, length and spelling. Keep it up.

VHLM >>>>>>> VHL

I mean you won't for sure, but a) we would like you back and b) you get that big VHLM achievement tracker bonus so teams will most likely want you to be in the minors for an extra year. And most likely you will need to be at least over 175

Hello my friends. It is a time I'm sure all of you knew would come to pass. I shall be making my triumphant return. Chris and Ryan tell me that the new season deadline is next week, so I'll hold off on creating a player until then. But I have returned to you now. I've heard a lot has changed in my absence, and I have to say the site looks very very different now. I'll poke around some this week and try and reorient myself, and I'll make my new player on Monday.

Been very busy I'm sorry, plan on grading tobight

The sim feels really different this year for some reason. I mean I've never had a player with so much TPE underperform in the VHLM. I think the commissioners are tampering with settings to turn this league into boring new age NHL where dump and chase is the norm and skill doesn't matter. #Yesallcommissioners

Dan Hamhuis is an Olympic gold medalist. things will turn around Hickey

As you all know, our vhl version of fantasy has been pretty off and on. Advertising has been very lax and even full seasons have been skipped. Well, I have decided to take over as the new VHLFantasy coordinator, and it's with pleasure that I announce to you the latest and greatest VHFL Reboot in all its glory! These are the new features that this league will hold.
 
1. New Scoring System
 
Goals: 2
Assists: 1
Hits: 0.2
Shot Blocks: 0.8
Wins(Goalies): 1
Shutouts: 5
Saves: 0.07
 
This is now the new scoring system for the VHFL! What's different, you might ask? Well, let me tell you. First of all, shot block value has risen from 0.5 to 0.8, and shutout value has raised drastically from 2 to 5 points! Lastly, tiered systems for hits and save percentage have been removed because that was some serious bs! Now you get points for every hit you get for 0.2, and every save you make for 0.07 points. 
 
These would be the top 10 scorers from last season in this system:
Francis York Morgan - 237.4 Jeff Hamilton - 234.4 Phil Hamilton - 228.0 Jon Sleeman - 224.8 Edwin Reencarnacion - 219.8 Zach Parechkin - 218.4 Unassisted - 216.6 Jorma Ruutu - 212.8 Aleksi Koponen - 212.2 Hans Wingate - 212.14  
2. New system
 
currently the system isn't that conductive to conversation. You make your lineup, maybe check periodical updates, and then collect the TPE at the end. Instead, we are adapting to what other hockey leagues have done, and all entrants will be sorted into groups of 6 and have their own separate fantasy draft. This involves more work and would require more activity, but still isn't that hard. We would have a round robin draft, with 3 forwards, 2 defensemen, and 1 goalie. So let me delve into this a little more with some questions that I thought might come up.
 
a) what if people don't respond in time?
 
simple solution, have an 18-24 hour timer, and whenever a team hasn't picked in that amount of time, they get auto-picked.
 
b) do we even have enough players to do this?
 
yes, yes we do. By my count, we have 40 forwards, 22 defensemen, and 9 goalies in the VHL. That's plenty enough for a group of the size I'm proposing. With the second player proposal, this should only grow.
 
3. TPE for the new system
 
TPE for the new system
1st-5 TPE
2nd-3 TPE
3rd-2 TPE
4th-1 TPE
5th-1 TPE
6th-1 TPE
 
the top team out of everyone gets +2 extra TPE
 
now I know what you're all thinking. "We already have TPE inflation, why add more high awards?" Well, let me tell ya something. Last time for S50 VHFL, 69(hehe) total TPE was handed out. With the 6 team system 68 TPE would have been handed out. So no extra TPE would be given out, therefore no extra inflation
 
4. All New Waiver Wire
 
Is your sleeper not performing up to par? Your stud young goalie just get traded to a bottom feeder? Some rookie making an unexpected impact in the league? Well have no fear, because now that we have ridden ourselves of the salary cap system that was in the old VHFL you can make changes whenever you want! Just post in you group's waiver wire thread saying who you are dropping and who you are picking up, and from then on you will get credit for his stats instead of your old guy. Simple as that!
 
5. Introducing fantasy.vhl.com!
 
Now, quick disclaimer, this is not its own separate website haha, just a concept like VHL.com articles are. But either way, it is going to be the absolute best! So what will this new feature have that will make it so special? Well, guaranteed features will include seasonal fantasy point leaderboards for your drafting help, weekly updates for every group, and a fantasy spreadsheet updated AT MINIMUM once a week so you can see where you stack up in the standings. In the future, however, our 'site' may grow to include mock drafts, breakout candidates, and more! All of this to help keep you guys interested
 
so folks, that's the new VHFL reboot. Sign ups will be starting at the beginning of the playoffs. So I just have one question for you: are you up to the challenge of creating a fantasy powerhouse?
