Honestly my main concern here is that it opens the door to trading things that you don't have, and honestly is just unfair for every other team. IF Vancouver wins a cup this season there's a massive asterisk next to it.

As per the rules, the current trade goes through. However, if Vancouver doesn’t acquire a S97 or S98 1/2, the trade to satisfy the condition would have to be vetoed since the 4th can’t be traded back for a S99 pick (this isn’t up for debate, it’s literally the same thing as the example). So Frank has the chance to just shit on Warsaw here. With that being said it’s not a bad trade for Warsaw since while they do take all the risk, they do get something for a player instead of just letting them retire.

I would argue that that’s essentially the exact example that’s used in the rule. Current trade would go through, but as per the rules the one in the offseason would have to get blocked.

Umm… the condition breaks the rules lol 6.3 – Trading Draft Picks Draft picks may only be able to be traded two years in advance during the regular season (before the trade deadline). During the off-season, draft picks of that off-season's draft and the two consequent drafts can be traded. (i.e. In S31, a team could not trade a S34 draft pick. However upon the completion of the season, S34 picks could be dealt along with S32 and S33 selections.) Trades found to bypass the above rule (i.e. trading a S40 3rd during the regular season and then having it traded back for a S42 2nd in the off-season.) are not allowed. If such trades are made, the 2nd trade (the one in the off-season) will be blocked by the commissioners.

With the theme being VHL lore, I decided it would be a great time to re-visit my first VHLM tenure and continue on with the rivalry that I got introduced to because of it. When I joined the league in S77, only 2 teams sent me waiver offers, Vegas and The Yukon Rush, I chose the latter strictly because it was in Canada and their message seemed more open to opportunity. Anyways, In S77 when Juice became the GM of the Rush, he made a deal with Thad, that whoever losses their season series would have to get pied. The teams would play 8 times that season, leaving the possibility for a tie open. In the first game of the season, it was neck and neck as the shots were only 1 apart at the end of the third, however San Diego’s goaltender Anime Protagonist would post a 0.913 save percentage to steal the game with a final score of 4-2 (1-0 SDM). Game #2 would occur 17 days later and would tell a different story as this time it was a great performance from Darcy Cat (Yukon’s goalie), who would answer right back with 34 saves on 36 shots as Yukon would tie the season series at 1 game a piece. Game #3 would be the first of the season where one team would dominate as the San Diego Marlins didn’t hold back in a dominating 5-2 win in a real team effort which would give them an early lead in the season series at 2-1! The 4th game of the series would take us to our mid-point of the season series and would be the first game to go to extra time! The Rush were lucky to take this one to overtime, after being heavily outshot 39 to 28. Despite this difference they would remain tied at 4 goals a piece, before a shootout winner for Yukon who would steal the game and tie the season series! Game # 5 would be a identical to game number 3 as San Diego would answer right back after the disappointing end to game number 4 on the back of a great performance from Arvid Johansson who put up 2 goals and 3 points! Sean Diego re-takes the season series lead at 3-2! Game 6 would be just a sheer show of dominance by San Diego as they would take a massive 7-4 win on the back of a real team effort as 6 different players, and 10 players would have points. This win would put San Diego up 4-2 in the season series which would mean one thing, San Diego was one win away from clinching the season series! The penultimate game in the season series would follow a similar trend to the previous three games as the shot totals would be similar, but the difference in goaltending would give the San Diego Marlins the edge and they would cruise to another win with a final score of 5-3, taking a 5-2 lead in the season series, meaning that game 8 would have no impact on the winner of the season series! With that being done, we would be left with Juice getting pied in the face! 537 words

Week 3

Syko MVP confirmed?

I think I somehow got removed from the ping list, can I be added @youloser1337?

Week 2 claim

Hi everyone! Going to keep this short and sweet, your S96 captains of HC Davos Dynamo are... CAPTAIN: Antonia Bucatini @CowboyinAmerica The 1st overall pick of the S93 draft, Bucatini has played a crucial role in Davos's return to the playoffs in recent seasons both on and off of the ice. The winner of the S94 ROTY, will continue to look to evelate their game as Davos looks towards playoffs and potentially the Cup! ALTERNATE CAPTAIN: Grimgor Ironhide @FrostBeard *Insert grunting noises here* Ironhide has played a crucial role these past few seasons serving as both a driving force and mentor to the younger players. Ironhide provides a much needed veteran presence and is always willing to put their body on the line to help the team and punish opponents! ALTERNATE CAPTAIN: Forum Content @frescoelmo Forum Content has been a fixture in Davos for a few seasons now and continues to improve at a consistent pace and has been one of the more active players in the locker room, providing some great content. Content will be looking to continue to propel the team forward while stepping into this new leadership role!

Almost ten seasons ago at the S87 VHL draft the following sentence was said "With the 10th overall pick, HC Davos Dynamo are pleased to select, from the San Diego Marlins, David Jokinen"! Over the course of their 9 season VHL career, Jokinen would become the longest tenured captain in Davos history (tied for the league's longest), and would break the record for the most games played for Davos at 648. Over the course of those 648 Jokinen would produce well with a total of 120 goals and 479 points! With their best season coming in S93 where they would break the 100 point mark for the 1st and only time in their career, earning themselves a spot on the second all-VHL team. In S89 Jokinen would lead Davos back to the Continental Cup Finals, where they would defeat the Vancouver Wolves to win the franchises 1st Cup in over 30 seasons! While following S91 Davos would enter a rebuild and Jokinen would stick around through the process and serve to mentor the young players coming through the ranks, in doing so they would play an integral role in Davos returning to the playoffs in S95 and advancing to the conference finals despite being massive underdogs. Jokinen imbodied putting the team first, and it is with great pleasure we are able to retire their number today! Congrats @Ahma!

McFleury #1!

I traded you, ironically also to Seattle with Tsujimoto.

1. Just the JST, got FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY from the WJC, and Asia got demolished because of it. 2. Not too much, mostly just keeping active in the LR 3. Syko to Warsaw seems weird to me, since of you’re going to tank having the best goalie usually doesn’t help… 4. Probably Chaz Michael Michaels, since we’re both in the same draft class. 5. It’s reasonable, wouldn’t mind going back to 8. 6. little bias, but buffalo’s goat head jerseys are amazing!

Mostly because London needs a goalie for this season to play games

How else do you establish dominance then by having your first trade ever being the former GM?

I do find it funny that only the Davos trades have the major pieces that Davos received not listed… For those of you who are curious here’s the full trades: To PRG: S96 DAV 1st (13) S96 RIG 1st (16) S96 LDN 3rd (35) To DAV: S96 VAN 1st (10) S97 PRG 2nd To SEA: S96 VAN 1st (10) Sunset Moth Marek Nowaczyk To DAV: Mina S96 2nd (22) S97 SEA 4th Overall the article is well written, however all I’m asking is that a full picture is shown and discussed. There’s also no issue with asking GMs for context around trades to ensure that you get it correct.

100%, again great season, but were you really the league's most valuable player if you failed to even make the playoffs?

No doubt it was a great season, just not a MVP type season. A genuine pre-requisite to win MVP is to make the playoffs (a really low bar in the M), it’s kind of un-written, but you can’t make an argument for someone if they missed. My main point is that in their stretch with Vegas, they weren’t good enough. They are a strong player who has a bright future.

We will riot
