AJW

Thank you to whoever voted for me!! Super unexpected, I’m happy I have an impact here

Looking for an AGM job, thought I should post in here.

Congrats @BarzalGoat!!

Kane holding the cup when Jay-Z said game 6 got me fired up. This is a sick vid q!

This Dakota Lamb guy is pretty good

Aberg and Williams going top 10 in the VHL draft I can feel it

I would like to apply!!

1. It’s been alright, just following along with the playoffs and improving my player still. 2. Probably center or right wing again. 3. Eggs, gotta scarf down the protein. 4. I hope to be Scotty Campbell one day but that’s physically impossible. 5. Want habs to win, lightning will probably win. 6. This forum, the VHL. 7. Started work and making money again.

It is a boring time to be an Ottawa Lynx player. There is so much excitement around the league right now with the first round of VHL and VHLM playoffs underway, but for myself I have nothing to do but watch from the bleachers. Don't get me wrong, watching the playoffs happen every day is fun, but it would be a lot more fun to participate. For the VHLM I hope that Minnesota wins, literally no reason for it except that they were the only team to sweep the first round and their logo is a ginger man. For the VHL I have to route for Warsaw. My GM @dlamb is playing and my teammate @qripll will be joining the team next year so I thought why not join them in cheering. Outside of the league there has been a Minecraft server that started up. It is so nice to play with people from the VHL that I have never even talked to. There are a lot of really good people in this community and it is a lot of fun to meet them whether it is through the discord, forum, or other games. I am counting down the days until the drafts start up, good luck to everyone who is in the playoffs right now.

This is amazing Juice, thanks for taking the time to interview me!

@Rayzor_7 Y'all are monsters

Interview me on discord!

Changed it, thank you

Hello to anyone willing to read this (hopefully VHL GMs). This is AJ Williams' (my player's) formal announcement that he is determined to play in the VHL for S79. Williams' currently sits at 170 TPE and plans to have 250 by next season in order to be eligible to play in the VHL. AJ Williams is VHL draft eligible for the S79 VHL Entry Draft. Williams currently plays for the Ottawa Lynx in the VHLM and has had an amazing rookie experience, but Williams says he is ready for the big league. Williams has had a decent rookie year in the statistics category, finishing the season with 22 goals, 34 assists, and 56 points in 72 games. After missing the S78 VHLM Dispersal Draft and starting later than the other draftees, Williams is determined to catch up and become one of, if not the best in his class. "To any VHL team that would like to draft me, I am ready. I have experienced the greatness of the VHLM but I am ready to take my talents to the VHL for S79 and hopefully this sparks the eyes of a VHL GM. I hope this does not come off as cocky, but confident. I believe I can compete in the VHL the second I enter the league." - AJ Williams Williams is a first generation right winger willing to learn and ready to compete.

Duet needs to happen

Review: This is great! Jersey swap and the text for your name fit well for me. I like the colours with the background clouds pretty much matching Davos’ purple colours. Maybe next time add more to the background, I don’t know but just a suggestion to spice it up. 9/10

Review: this isn’t bad at all, I know when I started getting back into editing it was tough to figure out everything again for me. For your graphic the jersey with logo swap is great, the background colours are flashy, and the text I’m actually a fan of. Kind of remind me of a HUT card on NHL21. 8/10

1. We have officially been eliminated from playoff contention. What, in your mind, went wrong? I think we were just a young rebuild team. Everyone did their part but we didn’t have a full solid team. 2. What is something you enjoyed about Ottawa? It was my first team and first season and I just had a blast, loved everything about it had so much fun. 3. For players likely staying (already drafted in VHLM, under 250 TPE), what do you look forward to most next season, and what do you hope to accomplish with the Lynx? For players likely leaving (waiver signings, or leaving the M), what do you hope to do with another team, either in the VHLM or VHL? I hope to move on to the VHL and get drafted. I had fun in the VHLM but I’m ready for bigger things now. 4. Which goalie should win the Vezina Trophy? Andrei Vasilevskiy, Marc-Andre Fleury, or Philipp Grubauer? The flower, wasn’t even supposed to be Vegas’ number one goalie at the beginning of the season. 5. For undrafted players, do you want to play in the North American Conference or European Conference of the VHL? For drafted players, would you rather spend your whole career with one team, or move about the league? It doesn’t really matter to me what conference I play in I just want to win. I wouldn’t mind spending my whole career with a team, I like being loyal to one. 6. Favorite car? My 2015 Honda CRV 7. Who was our MVP this season, in your opinion? Easily our captain Trunov, guy was a leader on and off the ice.

Thanks for the feedback! Didn’t even know that about Brozik, would’ve changed him out if I did.

ajwllmsn’s S79 VHL Mock Draft (First Round) To start things off I must say I have never been part of a draft myself so I am sorry if I am biased in any way. I got inspiration from other Mock Drafts and thought this would be fun to do since my first player will be part of this draft. I don’t know all the draftees personally so I’m not sure who has more impact on the community or not, but I think I have a pretty good idea. So I am sorry if I put anyone too high or low but I tried my best! Also, this is the standings in the VHL at the moment I am writing this: I will follow this order starting with HC Davos all the way to Seattle (if they have their first round picks or not). 1st HC Davos Dynamo @Zetterberg RW Tyler Reinhart With the first overall pick it is not a shock that Tyler Reinhart will be going to the Dynamo. Reinhart has racked up 125 points in 67 games so far and leads all VHLM rookies in almost all categories. The Dynamo do have Declan Wolf and Griff Mackenzie both coming up next season as Right Wingers but I don’t think it would be a good idea to pass up on a staff member in Zetterberg who also leads the draft class in TPE. Reinhart has far more potential than the two players listed as well anyways. I believe Tyler Reinhart will be Davos’ Franchise player and lead Davos to many playoffs and cups. Reinhart in my eyes could easily be top 10 in all time TPE at the pace he is going already. 2nd Vancouver Wolves @MexicanCow123 LW Jerome Reinhart This pick I do believe belongs to Jerome Reinhart who will be going to Vancouver 2nd overall. My reasoning for this is MexicanCow123 is a well known staff member through the community and also has a good Left Winger in Reinhart. 82 points in 67 games so far with 39 goals is definitely something to look at. Vancouver does have Kid Frost moving up next season but I believe Jerome Reinhart has so much more potential. Reinhart should be a great Franchise player for the Wolves and should be their top guy very soon. 3rd Vancouver Wolves (From Toronto) @scoop RW Taylor Mourning The third overall pick could go to a couple of players but I do believe Taylor Mourning will end up in Vancouver. The wolves have plenty of centers and are in need of more wingers. As stated above, Vancouver has two wingers moving up next season but Mourning has far more potential and could definitely make a good duo with Jerome Reinhart if they both end up in Vancouver. Mourning currently has 48 points in 68 games with Philadelphia. I think those stats will improve in Vancouver since Scoop is an active member and Taylor Mourning’s skill should rapidly increase to see top line minutes in the next couple of seasons. 4th Moscow Menace @ROOKIE745 C Jonathan Ori The fourth overall pick in my eyes belongs to Jonathan Ori. The highest ranked centerman in the draft would have a good spot in Moscow. Moscow has five centers at the moment but two are S72 centers who will be gone soon. I believe Ori will move his way up the depth charts for centermen in Moscow in seasons to come. Ori has put up 38 points in 69 games with Minnesota which isn’t too impressive, but performance in the VHLM is not always the same in the VHL. Ori could easily be a solid 2nd line centerman behind Paul Atreides - a Malkin/Crosby type of deal. 5th Los Angeles Stars @JardyB10 D Poopy Peepants Poopy Peepants has great potential to end up in Los Angeles. Peepants is the top ranked defenceman in this draft and has 41 points in 68 games with Miami this season. Which is very good for being on the last place team in the league. JardyB10 is an active player and known through the community. The stars will be losing their veteran Roque Davis next season and could only have one more defenceman moving up. Peepants is a fast improving player and could very easily make his way to top pairings in the future with Los Angeles. 6th Riga Reign @Beketov G Papa Emeritus This pick seriously confuses me and I could be so wrong. Papa Emeritus is an amazing goalie behind the works of the senior staff member Beketov, so I do believe Emeritus could go higher. But I am sticking him here since all the other teams ahead have two goalies who won’t be leaving soon. Riga does have two goalies on their team but Calvin Harvey is S73 and will retire soon. With a 52-8-4 record on Yukon this year, Emeritus can easily work his way to the starter spot on Riga. I believe Emeritus can stay with Riga for a long time and help to make Riga a successful team. This goalie has a lot of value and will be wanted by many teams. 7th Prague Phantoms (From D.C.) @osens C Omi Aberg This could be a stretch but I do think Omi Aberg could end up in Prague. The phantoms are in dying need of another centerman and Aberg is the second best in the draft. Prague could take Aberg with their 12th pick, but I believe he will be gone before then. Aberg has 45 points in 68 games with the Ottawa Lynx this season and has been working hard on improving. osens is a very active player who maxes capped tpe every week so it is not too shocking that he could go higher than what his ranking currently is. 8th Malmo Nighthawks @jRuutu D Erlantz Jokinen The Malmo Nighthawks should be taking Erlantz Jokinen at 8th overall. jRuutu is an active player with 68 points in 67 games in Yukon. Malmo has veteran defenceman who will retire soon so Jokinen can definitely take their place. The Nighthawks do have two defencemen ready to move up next season but Jokinen has more potential and is more active. I believe Jokinen will be Malmo’s top defenceman and leader very soon. 9th Seattle Bears (From Calgary) @SlapshotDragon RW Sigard Petrenko The Seattle Bears are dying for wingers and Petrenko would be a solid pick to be their only forward prospect. Petrenko would start playing instantly for the Bears and could possibly see second line minutes with the lack of wingers Seattle has. Petrenko joined the VHLM late this season but has racked up 32 points in 27 games in Houston. SlapshotDragon is an active member on the forums and Petrenko is not his first player, so Seattle should have trust in this solid right winger. 10th Warsaw Predators (From New York) @Donno100 G Orion D H Chiester IX The Predators have one goalie at the moment and could definitely use a second with a great pick in Chiester IX. Chiester IX has a 12-12-2 record with the Ottawa Lynx who have a losing record, so 12-12-2 is pretty impressive. Donno100 is an active member who does not max capped tpe weekly but is most definitely the next best goalie for Warsaw to choose. Warsaw’s current goalie is getting closer to retirement as well so Chiester IX could see starting minutes very soon if they stay consistent. 11th Helsinki Titans @Baby Boomer RW Baby Bob The Helsinki Titans do not need a winger but could use a solid right winger like Baby Bob. Baby Boomer is an active member and Baby Bob has been doing well with 72 points in 69 games in Mississauga, on one of the worst teams in the VHLM. Helsinki has plenty of right wingers but they are mostly veterans, so Baby Bob could eventually move their way up the depth charts once those veterans retire. 12th Prague Phantoms @ajwllmsn RW AJ Williams The Prague Phantoms could definitely use a right winger like AJ Williams. Prague currently has one right winger and none ready to move up yet. Williams could fit as a 2nd liner eventually with improvement, and then a first liner once S73 Dan Baillie Jr retires. Williams has 50 points in 68 games with the Ottawa Lynx which is not bad for being on a losing team. If the phantoms pick up centerman Omi Aberg with their 7th overall pick, Williams and Aberg could see a long career together, both being Lynx alumni. 13th Vancouver Wolves (From London) @PadStack LW Miroslav Tsarov Even though Vancouver selected a left winger earlier in this draft, I think they would be losing out on Tsarov if they did not draft them. Miroslav Tsarov is one of the last players in this draft who does not only live off of welfare. Tsarov has 55 points in 69 games with Halifax. Vancouver would then have Reinhart as a solid first line left winger, but I think Tsarov would be their definite 2nd line left winger. If Tsarov stays consistently improving, Reinhart and Tsarov will be powerhouse left wingers for the wolves. 14th Malmo Nighthawks (From Warsaw) @oilmandan G Em Em Flex In my opinion Malmo needs to take Em Em Flex with this pick instead of their 16th overall pick since Chicago will with their 15th overall pick. Malmo could use another goaltender since their backup now is in their last season. Flex is active weekly and would be a backup goalie for the Nighthawks. Flex has a tough 12-54-2 record with Miami so far but still has lots of room to improve. Malmo most likely would not get Flex to play for them right away, but I think Flex is a future good backup goalie for the Nighthawks. 15th Chicago Phoenix @Wolverine LW Jakub Brozik Chicago really could use a goaltender but their next best option is definitely Jakub Brozik. The Phoenix do not need another winger but Brozik is a solid player and would be hard to pass up. 79 points in 69 games with Mississauga speaks for itself. Brozik would be their top winger prospect and with Robin Winter retiring soon, Brozik could see top minutes very soon if they stay active and keep improving. The Phoenix have two other left wingers at the moment, but they only collect welfare, so Brozik has potential to be better than them. 16th Malmo Nighthawks (From Seattle) @Birdman LW John Baard After drafting a defenceman and a goaltender already, I think Malmo would love to pick up left winger John Baard. Birdman is active weekly and their player John Baard has played well in the VHLM putting up 41 points in 46 games with Houston. Malmo has depth in left winger prospects, but if Baard stays consistently improving, he will surpass them in no time. Baard could be a solid 3rd line winger for the Nighthawks and potentially 2nd line if put on the right wing. Conclusion I hope this mock draft was fun to read and I hope the players/people I picked enjoyed reading their potential team’s summary for them. Once again I tried my hardest to not be biased and the formula I followed was mostly: Member/Activity The VHL team’s needs Position TPE I tried my best to follow this order but in some situations I did not. AKA I am a first generation player and new to the entire VHL/M community/system, so I do not exactly know how drafts work around here or what GMs truly look for. So in the end I hope you all enjoyed the #DRAFTHYPE and let me know your feedback, I am dying to know if these rankings are totally off or somewhat accurate. Thanks for reading, and you might wonder, AJ, why are you still typing, why do you never use apostrophes when you write, why do you write do not instead of don’t? Well that is a very good question and I would love to answer it in a couple more words. Okay that is all the time I have, goodbye. This was for fun but I need my PTs lol. (2041 words, using PT for weeks July 4, July 11, July 18, July 25)

@DeeGoat has reached 100 TPE, please quote and confirm that I recruited you.

Collecting 2/2

This is awesome, colours shoot right at me with flare and it’s all blended in so nicely. Nothing about this sig is bad really I can’t see any mistakes. The fonts are nice, logo in the back is nice, your player is placed nicely, and the colours once again are great. 10/10

I would love to see more graphics like this, don’t even care about the quality of the graphic I just love seeing random stats about the league all the time. This rookie stat tracker is nice, the fonts on it could be a bit better but besides that I like this a lot. 9/10
