Reviewing: First off, I like the idea to use one of the walk-in photos that players do where they're dressed up to the nines as a render. It didn't even occur to me to really even use those and I think from now on I might be using them more! So thank you for the inspiration. I love the direction that you were going with this too. I would have maybe put the render through a filter to maybe make him look a bit more 2d to match the graphics you used. Great work! 8.5/10

1. I’m currently reporting to everyone from Las Vegas, Nevada, where I’ll be vacationing until tomorrow! This begs the question, out of all VHL/M cities, which one would you most like to visit IRL? I would love to actually visit Davos! 2. We’re off to a rocketing 9-0-1 start as of Monday, March 17th! Did this dominance come as a pleasant surprise? Yes but not this much! 3. Between the NA and EU, which conference do you expect to be stronger this season? EU by far 4. What is your favorite active player name in the VHL currently, if you have one? Pastanap! 5. Have any of your players ever scored a Gordie Howe hat trick? Nope, don't plan to either. 6. What do you think the Utah Hockey Club’s mascot will be? Hopefully the yeti

TSUPER! I maybe should have put what date this is from....ah well. 6 tpe is 6 tpe. @Baozi getting in an amazing season with the rebuild and @Jubis getting the most incredible breakout season!

Pasta has been destined for this since being in Houston!

bro how the hell did I even come up with S48.... lmao leaving it as is fuck it im owning it

1. There has been some discourse on certain VHL awards. Do you think the Slobodzian (Most Outstanding Player) and the Campbell (Most Valuable Player) trophies should overlap? Yeah, maybe just condense them. 2. What is your main goal as a player or member for S98? Maintain current performance, if not excel more. 3. Did you sign up for VHFL? Forgot to :c 4. Getting to 100 seasons in a sim league is a tremendous feat. What do you think has been the most important factor to the VHL’s longevity? The staff and personnel who maintain the league! 5. How has being apart of the VHL impacted you positively? It introduced me to sim leagues as a whole. 6. Thoughts on the trade sending MIkko Rantanen to Dallas? Marchand to Florida holy shit im so happy king rat is in rat city

After having quite the lackluster start to his VHL career, Johnny Tsunami seems to have found his footing finally. After starting his rookie season with an abysmal -13 +/- and only 24 points recorded during the Dynamos regular season and not performing much better in their post-season, questions arose on whether Johnny Tsunami would provide the output needed to keep up with the high-flying roster. His second season was an improvement, but still not a true testament to what Tsunami thought that he was capable of. This season however would prove differently. After a slow start to the beginning of the season, Johnny would soon find himself in multiple multi-point games, maintaining above 1 PPG for a majority of the season. This would come from the chemistry developed between 2nd linemates Grimgor Ironhide and Sunset Moth. With a +/- of +19 and 81 points on the season it would be very easy to classify this season as Johnny Tsunami's breakout season. The question remains: can he consistently keep up the performance as a top 2 C through different seasons or will he fluctuate up and down? Tsunami will have different linemates this season with the departure of Ironhide to Helsinki, so it will be interesting to see if Johnny can maintain the momentum. 211 words

I sell weed. (Legally)

1. Thoughts on Davos’ first round picks: Gingy and Sidney Sheppard? Welcome additions to the team! Looking forward to them on the main roster. 2. What are you most looking forward to at the start of the season? Seeing how much our dominance starts impacting the league. 3. What is your one bold prediction for S98? All the way? 4. Predict how many recreates we’ll get for the big S100! 34 6. Are you in any other sim leagues that you may want to recommend? Can't speak highly enough of the Pro Baseball Experience (PBE)! 7. A few seasons after the VHLE’s removal, what are your thoughts on its impact on the league (positive or negative)? Sadly, its been for the better of the rest of the league. Been working out well so far.

I imagine the snap back effect from this will more than likely actually hurt parity in the near-future. As someone mentioned, we've already had quite a varied champion record recently and this seems to just force a changeup for the sake of having a changeup. @dstevensonjr had a great point that cap floor basically prevents teams from sand-bagging and making only half the league viable. These teams will be poised to scoop up star players on the cheap to help free up space and it's not going to address parity at all really if we raise the cap. In fact it'll probably have the opposite effect.

2. Where would your player’s dream vacation destination be? Probably somewhere with amazing waves, Australia? 3. Who is your player’s render for graphics, if you have one? Johnny Tsunami! 4. In your opinion, do you believe GMs should have rights to their own player (ex. Alex having the priority to be able to have his player, Deadpanda, on Davos)? ....yes and no. It certainly present a conflict of interest, but the VHL (at least I thought) wanted to separate players and GMs. So logistically it makes sense if a GM wants their own player, they should try to draft their own player. What I don't like is players 'pre-assigning' themselves to teams. Kind of ruins the spirit of the league and the whole idea of having a 'career' with a character. Its one thing to prefer being on a team and making your preference known. But like, threatening with retirement or inactivity if you don't get it is just...booooo. 5. The ProAm teams this offseason are: the Flora Vista Foxes, Winnipeg Wheelbarrows, Baie-Comeau Beavers, Pompeii Sour Grapes, and the Hartford Whalers. Which team name do you like the best? Sour Grapes, hands down. 6. Did you watch the Four Nations finale? Great game! 7. Do you have any plans for this upcoming weekend? Not particularly!
