What do you mean? It may come as a surprise to you since you think im out to get you or something but I had no hand in whatever this post had been assessed as. I thought it was your attempt at coming back with a clean slate and trying to give you support.

I mean, I'd say I'm the literal example of how it'd work no? We have a lot of people who have various conditions on where they play, who they play for, who they want to play with. Mine was to always try and be on a cup contending team and I think I generally accomplished that goal, outside the first HSK season. In sim leagues people have always controlled their narrative to some degree, folks like @Baozi and @Ahma openly state their goals for every player. Either to play for cup contenders only or Davos only. Just a couple examples of situations where these top players can control their destiny. But most prefer to be loyal and stick around (which I love from a GM perspective).
 
You mean, you will have a tougher career for picking the openly-stated tougher route, instead of the standard 8 season route that the league always expected most players to follow. I remember this being the exact discussion point when the E was introduced. Almost everyone will go through the 8 season career. A few who want to challenge themselves with a longer career will go that way. I still don't see any issue with people following career paths as was intended from the start. I get it if folks just don't like the E though. I'm getting to that point as well myself. But complaining about the E existing is a totally different argument than bashing on 9 season careers because they're as difficult/high risk as they were always made out to be. Staying down in the E to me just was never abusing a system if that's how it always worked.

Hello,
 
As you've all probably seen here, Halifax 21st GM @ShawnGlade was punished for using AI to complete tasks. @Gustav and I have discussed the situation with the Head of PT and Moderators and agree that our M GMs are held to a higher standard due to their roles in the community and the impressions they make on the newest users to our community. 
 
For this reason, we are removing Shawn's VHLM GM pay of 4 TPE for the remainder of S92. He is still able to cap out at 12 if he chooses, but he simply won't be allowed to claim his VHLM GM pay for this season.
 
As a reminder, the use of AI is prohibited in the completion of your VHL tasks. If you are unsure whether tools you use are against VHL rules, feel free to reach out to a Commissioner or an Updater. The VHL values original content and the efforts of people who put in their valuable time to engage with our league and create content for their own development and the enjoyment of others.

Tagging @Updater for awareness.

User @ShawnGlade has received a 3 week TPE ban (01/14/2024 to 01/28/2024) for violation of the VHL Code of Conduct section 1.2 in regards to the usage of AI in point tasks.

All skins have now been paid out.

This season the VSN wanted to run a Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy watch: the award that goes to the top rookie. It should be an interesting season to watch/follow the rookies as we have a total of twenty-six rookies made up of fourteen Forwards, seven defenders and five goalies so let’s look at the start of the season ranking the top ten. Later in the year we will revisit and update the top ten list based around performance.
 
Top 10 Ranking
 
1.     (S90) Goaltender – WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW @rory
     New York Americans
 
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWW spent a full extra season in the VHLE last season developing after many though he would make the jump to the Americans last season so having a extra year of development now means he is more than ready for the jump to the VHL but is he may be a bit too ripe now. I also wanted to penalize this player to breaking the portal with his name but decided for now I won`t!!
 
 
2.     (S91) Defenceman - Leif Reingaard  @Zetterberg
   Moscow Menace
 
The small, fast, smooth puck handling defender spent a season in the VHLE to further develop after being draft 3rd overall in S91 by the Menace. Reingaard will see if his smooth quick puck moving style can translate over into the VHL; which most think it will.
 
 
3.     (S91) Defenceman - Callum Gary Yannick Janser @Daniel Janser
    New York Americans
 
The second American Rookie in the top three is why there is so much hope and interest in New York this season of the Americans making the play-offs. Janser after being selected 1st overall in S91 draft spent a season developing in the VHLE with Vasteras Iron Eagles; where he actually struggled to put up huge numbers. The talent is there and it is just a matter of time that this big bruising defender gets it to come all together.
 
 
4.     (S91) Right Winger - Thor Reingaard @N0HBDY
   Warsaw Predators
 
Crazy to think this player could have been lining up for an already talented and rookie packed line-up as Moscow Menace had but a trade just before the S92 draft seen this talented prospect traded to Warsaw; where he will now make his rookie debut. Reingaard is a strong offensive talent that also struggled in Vasteras last season in the VHLE but as he develops his puck handling ability should become a bigger threat in the VHL.
 
 
5.     (S91) Goaltender - Olober Syko @Spartan
   Moscow Menace
 
Olober Syko is the second goalie to make the list so far and would have been my early favorite for the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy based on the season that he had in Stockholm last season with an impressive 0.938Sav% and 7 shutouts but a young inexperienced team has knocked him back slightly on this list but I have feeling he might steal a few games for Moscow this season and could be a huge reason they sneak into the play-off. We will see how his game translate to the next level.
 
 
6.      (S91) Left Winger - Grimgor Ironhide @FrostBeard
   Helsinki Titans
 
Has massive shoes to fill as he replaces retired Landon Wolanin @jacobcarson877 but this also means he should get a ton of opportunities to prove himself along side Daryl Dixon @Ricer13 and hopefully find similar chemistry. If he finds the Chemistry with Dixon expect him to rocket up this list. All signs point to Ironhide having himself a very nice season if he can continue the develop and production, he had last season in Stockholm.
 
 
7.     (S90) Left Winger - Eric White Jr @Mysterious_Fish
    Riga Reign
 
Traded last off-season from D.C. Dragons to Riga as part of swap of 1st round picks, White Jr has slowly developed into a stead after being selected 20th overall in S90 and spending two full seasons in the VHLM and a season in the VHLE with the Cologne Express before making the jump to the VHL this season with Riga. If he continues to put up decent numbers like he did last in Cologne than he should find himself climb up this list.
 
 
8.     (S91) Left Winger - Joshua Schwarzer @Velevra
    Chicago Phoenix
 
Another player that will be looking to fill some massive shoes left behind by Scotty Sundin @fromtheinside as Schwarzer should get a solid look at top line minutes beside newly acquired Yaroslav Trunov @qripll coming from Malmo Nighthawks during this past off season. If these two can find Chemistry than Chicago might have better than expected offense and a solid case for a Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy winner.
 
 
9.     (S90) Left Winger - Martin Kemp @leafsman
    Riga Reign
 
The second of two Riga left wingers to make the list is Martin Kemp as it has also been a bit of grind to the VHL after being drafted 10th Overall in S90 draft by Riga. Kemp sent the past two season in the VHLE with the Cologne Express as did his Rookie team mate Eric White Jr @Mysterious_Fish. Riga will hope these two forward can find re-new chemistry and start throwing down some impressive numbers. Kemp could struggle as the seventh forward on the Riga roster but we will see if he can overcome what we think might be a lack of ice time.
 
 
10.  (S91) Center - Spanish Moon Moth @Renomitsu
    Prague Phantoms
 
Spanish Moon Moth is an interesting prospect as they have dropped a lot since being drafted 4th overall in S91 Draft by the Phantoms but after lack luster rookie season in the VHLE with the Bratislava Watchmen with only 27 pts. Moth really developed nicely last season in Stockholm with an impressive 92 pts so the question most are asking what player is Prague getting this season? The Bratislava or Stockholm player? Moth should have a good look at some point this season as they are likely starting on the wing and might get some playing time beside John Jameson @Frank and Nikolas Kauppi @Tetricide on top line. If they can find chemistry with these two they will be a huge factor in the Christian Stolzschweiger Trophy discussion by season end.

I should GM a team then hire you as AGM so i can boss u around in both places.

But since I'm here, for the love of god, allow variable increment spending on the manage player page. Having to press the plus button over and over and over again is torture.

I'm probably biased and not everyone might gravitate toward this but with S100 coming up, I would like to see (and perhaps spearhead) some more gathering and presentations (graphics, etc) of the league's statistical history whether it be more team-related (Top 10 stats per team, etc.) or what have you. I realize @Victor is God in the history realm but he is but one being and there are many possibilities (I love you, Victor). Also, I think adding more (accurate) history to the portal like the Retired jerseys would be great. VSN is planning some 100-related stories and I continue to work on the All-Decade Teams but (time-permitting), there is so much more we can do to make VHL's rich history more interesting and accessible.

I'm changing my 2024 resolution. I want to engage on vote recount for VHLE top defenseman.
