My point isn't so much that I am personally offended that I am not receiving pre draft scouting messages. It's moreso that if I get drafted by a GM who doesn't do his due diligence for the draft, that is likely to reflect in other areas like trades and free agency

I like this trade for London

I wouldn't be that rude about it but yea that's essentially what I would say to you lol I understand not all teams need a goalie or have picks. But by my count there are 7 teams that could reasonably draft a goalie, and 2/7 is still a low percentage unless you are using Dil math

There are 16 teams in the VHL, yet only 2 have reached out to me about the draft with one day to go leading up to it. Messaging players is solely an effort thing, and I guess a lot of GMs just don't want to do proper scouting. Without reaching out to players, how do you have any idea what their plans are? What if they plan on entering free agency after 4 years, what if they might retire early, what if they plan on making a goon, what if they really don't want to play for your team, what if they would love to play for your team? You have no way of knowing this without reaching out for some re draft scouting. It really doesn't take much effort to send out mass PMs to find this stuff out. And no, I won't be answering these questions about Malone in here. If you actually want to know if Malone wants to play for your team or might enter free agency, reach out and ask me. Otherwise you are just taking a gamble on drafting me without knowing what my intentions are because you are lazy.

moscow did a thing

Welcome back Are you purposely spelling "the" as "teh"? New trend for the youths these days?

fake news

this is a supreme media spot but everyone is only on discord

4 cup wins in 6 seasons is extremely impressive especially considering more teams now Does this put bana in the running for one of the best all time gms?

Someone Draft Me Please Malone currently sits at 226 tpe (once this update comes in), putting him towards the bottom of the 2nd round if you solely based on tpe rankings. For all GMs who might be reading this, know that I am somewhat lessening my tpe earning right now because I am planning on staying down in the VHLM at the 250 tpe cutoff. Once we get past the cutoff date I plan on writing rookie profile, biography, and donating and all that fun stuff. Back to the point, goalie is not like other positions in that you either need one or you don't, unlike other positions where you could always add a 7th forward or a 5th defensemen or whatever. Below I will look at each team's goalie situation and overall roster situation to see if I would be a draft pick fit. Calgary Wranglers - Lafontaine is clearly their franchise goaltender and as a S70 draftee he still has a long career ahead of him, so barring any unforeseen trades I don't see this being a fit Chicago Fire - They just drafted Jeane Pierre Camus, and I know Solas is a stud so they clearly have their franchise goalie. I am most likely not a fit there DC Dragons - Wolski is a franchise goalie and as a S71 draftee also has a long career ahead of him, so likely not a fit. Looks like a running theme so far here HC Davos Dynamo - The first team that could potentially make sense for Mr. Malone. They currently have two young goalies in Bruden (S71) and Poremba (S72) that are both welfare queens who don't seem to post much and aren't exactly killing it in the tpe department. Bruden at 460 tpa is okay ish, but I have my doubts either of these guys could turn into a franchise goalie. Davos could draft Malone with the plan of starting Bruden (or some other goalie) for a year or 2, before transitioning over to Malone. On a personal level, Gustav is one of my favorite members on here, so I would definitely be down with this fit. Helsinki Titans - They currently have 4 goalies on the roster, with Zamboni Driver seeming to lead the way. It would be a bold move for them to draft a 5th goalie, perhaps a big brain move in the works? London United - One of Malone's most likely destinations. They have no starting caliber goalie currently, and their goalie of the future (Friedriksen) nearly has as much tpe as me despite being a S72 draftee. I personally wouldn't have much confidence in him as my franchise goalie, and I think Malone could be a smart choice for London to hedge their bets. However, based on his previous draft rankings @McWolf probably thinks I am a 5th round pick LA Stars - Despite being drafted a year ahead of me, their top goalie prospect (Minott) already has less tpe than me. If LA does not have faith in him as their franchise goaltender then Malone could certainly become their man Malmo Nighthawks - They just drafted GyrFalcon and he is a clear franchise goaltender, so this relationship is doubtful Moscow Menace - With Bernard retiring in a few seasons Malone could become Moscow's next Bernard, in the sense that he develops behind a supremely talented starter before taking over the reigns upon retirement. My love for Moscow is well known, so this could definitely be a possibility pending what Victor's next player is New York Americans - Not happening I hate New York and would retire Prague Phantoms - This depends if they believe in S71 draft pick Woody McPine. While he is consistently earning tpe every week, he isn't what you could call a tpe whore. You could do worse, but perhaps they select Malone to hedge their bets. Diamond Ace is another GM known to have strong ties to my agency Riga Reign - Greg Eagles (S67) is going to end his reign and retire soon, and with no goalie prospects there is an opening for Malone to be Riga's goalie of the future Seattle Bears - Jacom Tom appears ready to take over when Funk retires, so they are all set here and have no current need for Malone Toronto Legion - Hextall isn't retiring any time soon, so this arrangement is not super likely Vancouver Wolves - As a S69 goalie, Spyro will be retiring in 2 seasons, which could give Malone the time to develop into a starting caliber goalie. This could make sense if Malone is agreeable to join Vancouver and sit for a few seasons. Warsaw Predators - They just drafted Krishna and he appears to be a franchise goalie so there isn't a huge need here unless they lose faith in him for some reason Overall, I am encouraged that there actually is a need for goalies as I feared this would not be the case. There are 7 teams that I could see having a logical argument to draft me, and even with Helsinki having a few potential extra goalies plus Dimmadone being ahead of me in the goalie rankings, I am confident I can find a home somewhere and be a starter within a few seasons.

a sneaky way of asking you to retire

Awesome article! Also, kind of dumb that the sim engine has so many useless or downright harmful stats These articles are a great example of why we need to find a better sim engine IMO

Yes join We are at 9/10 teams, need one more for the draft. Draft is 945 EST tonight!

I wish you could have met Caillean and Jamie that would have been a fun combo

In Smitty and Gritty's last season of their careers they had an offer in free agency from Toronto, Vancouver, and Prague. Due to a lack of players Toronto was never really in the running. Prague and Vancouver were in pretty similar positions, but the difference was Vancouver had a goalie and Prague wasn't guaranteed one. Ironically enough, both Toronto and Prague finished ahead of Vancouver in the standings, as we clearly made the wrong choice strategically. Additionally, Prague definitely would have been the most fun option of the 3 and for that reason I think we should have signed there. Prague's locker room seemed really cool when our rights got traded there and they had some cool members. Next time I am faced with a decision to sign with two pretty evenly matched teams I will choose the more fun one. Sorry Diamond Ace and if you draft me I can make it up to you

1) Very lonely this season sucked, let's Halifax has more people next season 2) I was not happy, that was very poorly handled by the VHLM considering I never received any word from Minnesota's GM and had to reach out to their AGM to even get an explanation 3) About as expected we were supposed to suck and we did 4) Forcing me to stay down 5) Because he wants me to suffer and doesn't want to try and make his one player active 6) I will be staying down in the VHLM next season because I am of the belief Halifax will win the cup next season with me in goal

Im writing in @boubabi
