Advantage

Calgary got better today but at least we are getting away from them. 5 points up with a game in hand.
 
Offense has been great.  Goaltending has been great.  Would like to see Kyanon do better but he's a scrub.

WHAT THE HELL BLUESBOY?!
 
I'm fucking with you.  You can PM an admin and hand it in late.  They honestly do not care.  Almost every PT I've done the last year was late.

4 – The exact amount of assets moved in the only deadline deal between the Riga Reign and Calgary Wranglers.  In what seemed a surprising move to some (not this writer) the Calgary Wranglers decided to part ways with Hans Wingate and trade for Bernie Gow, Griffin Simons and a S48 1st Round Draft Pick.  Why is this not surprising to me? Back in the off-season, I was alerted that the Wranglers put Wingate on the block asking for a significant package.  While this NY GM can confirm that the offer was Kyanon, Reencarnacion and two 1st Round Draft Picks, one has to keep in mind that the Wranglers either needed to be greatly overpaid, or be given a similar goaltender in return along with some additional assets.  That is exactly the kind of offer that the Reign could give them.  With Bernie Gow (a member that is obviously very familiar with Calgary’s GM), the Wranglers get a very good goaltender that will be loyal for them until his career is over.  Then they had an additional piece for this year in Simons, and a first rounder that could either help them stock the system or perhaps be used as trade bait.  The Reign get the upgrade they needed and get an excellent, loyal member in Cowboy.  Good trade by both teams.
 
15 – The exact number of players who will be available to be drafted in Season Forty-Seven.  I honestly cannot remember a year this weak in depth. I would like to give a number of legitimate reasons defending the VHL on why this happened, but it comes down to poor recruiting in the end.  For whatever reasons, the league has not been able to step up where they need to on this front, and while the BOG’s been discussing this issue the most, action needs to happen soon or Season 48 will follow suit.
 
118 – The combined amount of TPE for the only two Season 48 players we have so far: STZ and DGFX.  Two recreates who both have great histories with Hall of Fame players, perhaps the Season 48 draft can take this momentum and become a far better draft after some excellent recruiting efforts.  Both of these members have great potential to have players who hit 700 TPE or more.  In fact, STZ has never had less than 1100, so there is certainly a lot of promise there.  DGFX hasn’t really been the same since Anton Brekker, but he still can make great players, especially if he is consistently tapping into some source of TPE, be it welfare or PT’s.  

1.  I would love to have you back though for another year if you were interested cause I was planning to keep AVB down.

I would use the BOG pretty much all the time.  I just think it wouldn't hurt to have someone on the lead that is in here and wants to work with the whole BOG.
 
However, I would rather others share their opinion.
 
I'd want to stay on mag too.

This bastard.

The weekly cap doesn't include Rookie Profile or Biographies.  So you are all good.

Alright, not sure why I've never done this.
 
At the deadline, I am going to mass email all of the football leagues I was an admin in (five or six at minimum..probably at least 1000 members combined), and see if I can lure some here.  It wouldn't be hard to mention people like YEAH!, Streetlight, Cowboyinamerica as some of the guys who have made an extended effort in being great members here.
 
I can amp up a few recruiting techniques I used for MFA for us here.  

Any ideas? I can put whatever you guys want into action.

I gotta stop more and we gotta get more shots.  Scoring lots in comparison to shots on net, but twenty shots a game won't win us many against good teams.

Interesting to think that Trifecta is now on my team lol.

We need more of a lower value for guys in their last season.  I found with Wahl and his 4.5 million left, there wasn't anything to spend on really.

Every second off-season should instead be a huge recruitment drive with good incentives and good prizes/ideas.

Accepted!

BTW funny story, Calgary had a deal in place for both Devise and Noah.
 
 

Also congrats to YEAH! on being named captain and Fong and Ruutu on being alternates

Good stuff.

I lagged on this a bit this year but I already know the three I want to give it to.  They are by far my three most active guys inside and outside the LR for the last couple seasons and I love having all three.
 
C - Edwin Reencarnacion @XaviYEAH! Woods
A - Biggu Kyanon @tfong
A - Jorma Ruutu @jRuutu
 
Congrats to all three of you

To New York:

C - Gifford Shock (S41)
 
To Cologne:
C - Tyson Stokes (S39)
S48 NYA 1st Round Pick
S48 NYA 2nd Round Pick
 
I accept.  I know I can keep Devise around doing stuff and I upgrade at center given Stokes' triple depreciation.
