We see many players that are moving up to VHL next season from VHLE and to me there are few on Bratislava Watchmen that should be especially recognized. 

Jannik Nylen @DreMin15is returning to VHL. He spent a season down and made sure it was extremely memorable for us in Bratislava. He dominated defensive game and was one of the most interesting players I have ever had a chance to GM.
Sven Eightnine @BarzalGoat is a beast of a player. I feel like the potential for this player is truly unlimited and with Seattle team there is just huge potential for a cup winning, statistically dominating defenceman. I will be surprised if Sven isn't an award winning player by his 3rd season in VHL. Truly a unique player!

Jakub Brozik @Viper knows me well enough to know that I truly respect his man. He has been one of the members I remember fondly from my time as Houston GM and I will remember him as a great friend and as a person who made sure and still makes sure that everyone is feeling great and is doing great work!
Logain Ablar @Kelsier is a brilliant individual and a player built to last. I will be surprised if London future isn't based around his extremely effective scoring ability. A person I have never had an interaction with, a person I respect dearly now. Great job!
Donny Carter @TheNeonShamanis the nest VHL superstar. His dedication and willingness to be a part of this league is unparalleled. Probably the biggest shining light of my VHLE draft, a person I had no idea was this awesome and unique! 

Thank you Watchmen for being awesome and keep up the Watch in VHL! I will be watching closely your careers unfold! Cheers!

@Kelsier is my kind of goon

The accusations against Mo were so fleshed out and accurate, and ended well. Let's see what happens here.

Ohhhhh this is why you got banned from SBA. 
 
This thread looks like a debate on Covid-19 by old french canadien. (Trust me, it's not great)

Breeze Ladrian, Born Edward Ladrian, was always a multi-sport athlete.  Throughout his youth, he played various levels of hockey, basketball and football.
 
While he never excelled in the other two, he found a skill on the ice.  At the young age of 10 years old, he began to flourish.  In his small town, guided by his parents, he spent his time away from school to practice.
 
In middle school, Breeze had registered and joined a small youth league of 6 teams, and quickly grew to be the best player in the league.  As a defenseman, Breeze focused his efforts on blocking shots and getting hits, sometimes violently, to disrupt opposing offense. 
 
It was in high school, however, that the dream of playing professionally truly grew roots.  Though he remained playing basketball, starting on his varsity team by his Sophomore year, he was one of the top rated prospects in his region.
 
Joining the juniors league as early as he could, troubles began to arise.  Breeze was repeatedly and consistently noted as being conflicted. As a multi-sport athlete, his dedication to hockey was questioned openly on a regular basis.  His defense continued to be a strong suit, but offensively he never really shined. His skill on the skates left plenty to be desired, and out of high school, it is reported he was offered basketball scholarships.
 
With his dedication in doubt, his agressive playstyle causing penalty concerns, and his raw skills leaving much to be desired, it is no wonder that Ladrian slipped so far into the draft.  To this date, his commitment is questionable at times, but reportedly he's been around the Ace's facilities more and more.
 
When asked directly about it, Breeze has consistently hedged. "I want to be as great as I can be...but I don't know if I want to be great on the ice or on the court.  My coaches and managers throughout my life have always said I could be one of the best, but I just can't bring myself to believe it.".  
 
By many metrics, Ladrian underperformed in his Junior's career, and was reportedly a no show frequently.  After moving out of the Juniors, he signed with Mexico City and was later drafted by the Reapers, and both organizations openly stated he was hardly at their facilities.
 
Could this be the start of a diamond being refined? Or will he continue to be a massive question mark on his path to the professionals league?

Hey everyone, thanks for having me.
 
Since I came into the league, a few seasons ago, it's been a slow going time.  I've been in and out, working on getting better, and sometimes forgetting to do things. 
 
Times are tough sometimes, as a lot of other people are multi-league, like myself, but it's never an excuse.  I wanted to really put out this small bit to really say that I'm shifting gears.   My desires to do minimal work and still succeed have, obviously, been pipedreams.  I am, from this moment, dedicating myself and promising Moscow and Las Vegas that I'm moving forward and going to put my effort into this league.
 
I have had a wonderful opportunity, playing for Las Vegas, and having been drafted to Moscow. Both organizations have really helped and been supportive.
 
The Ace's have been very good, competitively, since I arrived, and it's not really due to my presence.  But, Spartan and Jiggly have been helping me form my dedication to this league, and now I'm driving as hard as I can to join Moscow in the VHL. 
 
So, it's a lot of words to not say much, except I am, from here in, aligning myself to a goal. I'm going to follow suit with the rest of the league and start truly working towards being a good player. That comes with taking the time to put forth work, and being in other leagues doesn't excuse my lack of effort.

1.) I can't help but feel we underachieved, especially compared to last season. But, we have a bunch of people here working their hardest, and the results are what they are.  
 
2.) I leave that kind of thinking to our wonderful front office staff. But we need to become more consistent, in my opinion.
 
3.) Santa Clause.  Keeping your children's belief alive and doing everything you can to foster that spirit hits home.
 
4.) Maybe not too many people know that, over my 9 years in the military (real life??!), I've battled with depression, anger and even alcohol abuse.  I've had a rough time, especially over the last 6 years, but things are always getting better, even if I don't know it.
 
5.) I mean, you do your job. Goalie? Keep the puck out of the net. 
 
6.) Like I said last week, seeing my son's face light up last year really melted my heart.  I'll never forget it.

1.) It's good to see trades. Vegas usually does well making trades, and it's a message to the league that we are gearing up to make a run this season.
 
2.) Honestly, I love the reactions from my kids when Santa brings what they wished for.  When my son comes down the stairs all wide-eyed and excited, it makes the entire season worth it.
 
3.) Haha I remember a lot of things.  Not one I was involved with, there was a fight in the main hallway during classes, and someone threw multiple firecrackers into the middle of the fight. School closed for the day. 
 
4.) I have no clue.
 
5.) Eh.  I'm alive, I guess. So, could be worse.
 
6.) I love sweets. I have a hella bad sweet tooth.  Cakes, cupcakes, cookies.  Crazy bad for me.

If allowed, cuz I wasn't aware this started, id like to pick mikko lahtinen
 
If not, f.

@Beketov I don't know if I think this is a good or bad idea yet; but ill certainly give it the benefit of the doubt. One thing I do recommend, as you and others have mentioned, is having the bot post a link to the current season's forum section, as that is a quik and useful way of getting people to find the threads. 
 
I have another idea. If possible, we should create some sort of automated recap thread that posts after every day of sims, that holds the results of the day (if possible) or at least all the game threads. Ideally there would be some form of content other than the links, even a rendering of the new standings or something.
 
I think this would be a really useful way of generating cross team talk- when I was active on game threads, I hardly ever commented on other team's games; the fragmentation was just as real as if it were my team's LR. This serves the point of getting people to a centralized location where you might actually engage with people outside of your team; not everyone has been in the league long enough to establish connections outside of their immediate team, especially for first gens. 

Bek already knows my opinion on this, but I'm in pretty strong support of it.
 
I just hope the general community gives it an honest try and remembers that this is a forum based league, and the sims are on the forums, not discord.
