This is fucking obvious and we shouldn't be stupid with voting when shit like this actually matters to people.  Campbell AINEC.

Frank also went inactive as a vhlm GM. So screw frank

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.

Sure and I don't mind guys like Cote, Stropko, etc. being included but when there is a 70 TPE difference between an active and someone who hasn't been here in eight months..I think it should go to the active.
 
I mean, the more actives included the better.  But I'm not suggesting benching a 700 TPE guy like Cote for someone with 150 TPE.
 
However, I am glad to see @fever95 made the change.  Certainly didn't want to come off as rude or anything..just thought it made sense.

Up 2-1.
 
Who is back on the team next year?
 
I'll be back in net (sitting at 140 TPE without achievement tracker but I'll make sure I'm good to be back here)..
 
We should easily be the favorites with me in net, as long as we have some returning guys.

Well, I'd also love to have some games this next week to look for but it's ok for me to sit out. The team won't get any better with Free and it's fever's team so there's that.

I claimed for this week and got my scoring to 87    

That's what a free doubles week usually is yeah.

Doubles Week = Doubled PT that is finished
Free Doubles Week = Doubled for doing nothing

Merry Christmas everybody! Hope you all have a great day.
 
Welcome back YEAH! and Bana as well.

Just so no one is surprised, YEAH will be taking over GM this off-season.  We will be waiting till the draft to make the switch, so that my player can still come here for free.  I know he has some pretty awesome stuff planned and he and I will be working together to improve this team going forward.
 
So congratulations to him and I know he will do a great job.  He pretty much is the one who taught me how to GM and stuff in these leagues.
 
As for why we are doing the switch.  I always said if I start to dislike it or I start ignoring duties, then I will step down.  It just has been so long as GM that I think I need some time where I'm just focused on my player.  I've been GM'ing since S33 and accomplished a lot but now I think it's time for another great member to get a shot at doing the same.
