Two seasons ago I went completely mia and now I have returned. Unfortunately because of me missing such a long period of time my stock as a player is way down. So now I have to figure out what the future of the Pope will be as his career moves forward. Let's look into what could come from free agency for the Pope.
 
1. Resigning with LA.
 
This would honestly be my preferred option, but I understand that a competitive team would likely not want to be held down be a player that may not earn as much as you would prefer a defenseman to.
 
1a. Long term
 
This is highly unlikely at this point, but I always enjoy signing big beefy contracts with teams that draft me and I would like to sign a longer 3 or 4 season contract with LA.
 
1b. Short term
 
If I sign with LA I believe this is the likely option and 1 or two season contract that would allow me to prove myself as a player coming back into the league. This is isn't my number 1 choice, but I would prefer this over moving to another team.
 
2. Signing with a competitive team
 
If I don't come back to LA I would like to play for a team that is likely to make playoffs. This deal ideally would be two seasons and again allow myself to prove myself as back. I'd say this is somewhat likely however not the most likely.
 
3. Signing with a borderline team
 
Next up I would like to sign for a team either just coming out for a rebuild or just entering one. A team that could make playoffs but it would be a bit more of a stretch. For this I would either want to sign a long term contract or a short term contract depending on if they are coming out or coming into a rebuild.
 
4. Signing with a bottom dweller
 
This would be my last choice and I would only sign a one season contract with a team in this category. I would want to be here just to play and prove that I'm back and be able to sign a longer contract the following season with a competitive team or resign if their rebuild is moving quickly. That being said if you have an offer for me I will pay attention to it and I will talk to you about what you could do to bring me in.
 
These are all the situations I see and in order of how much I would like them to happen. With that being said I have only had one person talk to me and I would love for more teams to reach out to me because I am back. I do believe that the Pope is a solid player having a fairly good season while being very low in TPA and in theory he should be very good pretty quickly. If you have any questions about my build feel free to message me and I will send you my planned build. All that said let's get talking and bring his Holiness into the fold.

TL:DR I was busy.
 
Over the last multiple months I have been in the final grind months of my working season. With that I was very busy with only Mondays being off and of course I had to continue to do things like shop for groceries and meal prep. In addition, Monday is the day of the week when my beer league plays and so Mondays become even less available. Also during the last few months I moved from my old apartment downtown to a townhome still pretty much downtown. Basically I was super busy and really didn't have a lot of time. However, I did stop working on November 1st and you may realize that today is Christmas Eve and I am just now coming back. What's the hold up? A long vacation visiting Europe in which I rarely had internet and really didn't want to spend time writing things for the VHL. That being said I am back and should be back to max earning since I don't work until March and my schedule only gets busy in July.

wearing the A for the first time in Pope Francis's career but also the first time ever while I've been in the VHL

worth a try tho

As the season has been over for the Pope for a while now there has only been waiting for the draft, awards, and next season. The Pope has no idea what he has in his future, but he knows what is in his past and the reality is he will be apart of the awards conversation at minimum.
 
During his Holiness season blessing Halifax, he led the league in SBs and was only 6 points away from being tied with the league scoring leaders. The two awards in question here are the Mitch Higgins Awards and the Ryan Sullivan Award. Currently, I view Pope Francis as the favorite to win the Ryan Sullivan Award as he was simply the most effective lockdown defenseman in the league. However, the more competitive award is the Mitch Higgins Award; The leagues MVP. The main competitors for this award are Justin Williams and Olivier Gauthier. One the leading goal scorer for the league and the other the best goaltender the league has seen in a while. I believe the fact that a defenseman is that close.to Justin Williams puts him out of contention for this particular award. Olivier Gauthier is different. If it weren't for this goalie SDM wouldn't have been so high in the standings. If you replace Gauthier with a league average goalie likely SDM falls to 5th in the standings.
 
All that is left is to ask the votes... GMs who do you like more. A star defenseman or a star goalie.
