Advantage

YEAH! and I are working hard to get both Denver and Winteriscoming back so we may get a bonus here soon (WIC is on SHL).

Agreed, what is that stupid shit?

I can probably work on an account too.  My roommate posts on squared circle so I could join in on that and I'm quite charming and witty as you all know, so up votes should be easy.

True lol.
 
Anyway I created a Reddit account for the league.

I was going to get some ads up here and then hand it over to sterling so he can actually pay for them to be put up.  Although, I think we should come to a consensus here.

Just some of the possibilities.

Could do 100,000 over 3 months and keep renewing if it gets results.

C - Jorma Ruutu @jRuutu
Out of all our active players, Ruutu is the Americans longest tenured player as this will be his fourth season playing for the team in the VHL. Ruutu is a terrific asset to the team, as he is incredibly consistent with his point task activity and is a frequent contributor in both the locker room and in game threads.
 
A - Biggu Kyanon @tfong
Retaining his captaincy from last season, Kyanon will be playing his third season with the New York Americans. While Kyanon is still young, Tfong has a great recent history with the Americans franchise through his previous player Xin Xie Xiao, who recently had his jersey number retired to honour his achievements with the franchise. Tfong has also been a great contributor in the locker room, especially with his tactical advice with the lines. 
 
A - Thomas O'Malley @Green
One of the two talented Free Agents we were honoured to welcome to the team for Season 47, O'Malley has been a captain for his team in every one of his previous seven seasons, so we will allow him to finish his career as an eight-time captain. O'Malley is one of the all-time great players, a first ballot Hall-Of-Famer and a much liked member of the VHL community. 
 
Congratulations to those selected, here's to a great Season 47!

Congratulations to our captains for this season!

There is my ballot because I don't put people on it that don't deserve it even if I don't hit 3 or 4 people.

The New York Americans had a tremendous run not long ago and it was due majorly to five different players who were there for considerable time.  Odin Tordahl and Conner Low both already have had their number retired, and it is time to add two more.  These two players were two major factors in why my New York dynasty worked so well and they were both guys I could turn to when I needed an opinion on anything.  It was an honour having both of these players on my team for so long and I'm really glad that they are not only in the VHL Hall of Fame, but will now have their numbers retired for New York.

I considered myself very lucky to get Fong along with Zadorov and my own player in Season Thirty-Six, and it really got me going with my rebuild.  Fong is a stand-up guy and I love that I have him back in the LR because he's the ultimate team player.  While he is very humble about XXX, there is no one that can deny his impact on New York.  It didn't take him long to pass Braxton in hits and if I was able to give him another year in New York, I think he probably would have broken the goals and points record.  Unfortunately I did have to trade him for the rebuild, but it got him a third cup so I'm pretty happy there.  He's a great dude and he earned that Hall of Fame induction, and has certainly earned his number being retired for his accomplishments with the franchise.

While Tom Slaughter never won a major award for New York, his value to the team could not just be measured in awards.  Tom Slaughter, had he stayed on for his final two seasons, would have smashed anyone else's totals due to his ridiculously consistent offensive performances throughout his career.  The fact that he is top-five in every major category offensively, despite only playing six seasons, is an absolute testament to how great he really is.  Sterling's impact is even more felt in the locker-room where he was essentially the other GM.  I would consistently bounce ideas and ask for his opinion on several moves, and I do not think I would be anywhere near as successful if not for his help.  Slaughter was a major player in the team's two Continental Cup victories, our record four straight Victory Cups and the three finals appearances.  Hats off to Tom as he is not only a Hall of Fame player but now a member of our honoured alumni in New York.

I admit that I voted for Denis. I blasted through the voting and saw Denis' massive lead on points and went with that, ignoring why he had so many points as I hadn't thought of that.
 
Seeing the points made here paint a clear picture of the mistake, and I apologize for that. Going forward, I will certainly put more consideration into my votes. Apologies again to everyone for this disappointment/frustration.

Ahh, Mein Herr, but ask me to pick one! 

1. All GMs now required to read @Advantage articles before award voting.
 
2. @JardyB10's role-playing of Sandor is great.

Am I the only one wondering how we are giving the loser of the cup finals playoff mvp..especially when we know they benefitted from playing a weaker Toronto.

Just to further my point, Denis had 13 points in 4 games vs Toronto.  He was under a point per game against New York and Helsinki.
 
Great job voting once again though.  He really carried the Wranglers the whole playoffs.....right to a five game loss at the hands of Koponen's Titans.
