I think this might be the most I've ever won.. thanks for all the rigs, boys

... but he said please..

I think the VHLM Draft is valuable for first gens and is a cool benchmark for them to see their player get some exposure early.. it would suck to lose that and it wouldn't feel right without GMs I think having a GM pick you and believe in you goes a long way for a first gen member.. I mean I can tell you my first waiver GM and draft GM in the VHLM were big reasons I got hooked on this drug.

That's true.. but that's spreading them pretty thin.. both are already VHL GMs to add on to commish duties. Makes more sense to have a "Head Member" of each VHLM Team responsible for a handful of players. Would be more productive to have more mentors responsible for less members than two commishes responsible for one or two full draft classes.. Same idea as a daycare 1 to 5 ratio lol...

To develop the players.. motivate, coach, remind, set an example, promote the upcoming prospects.. etc..

Legitimate argument with the current system in place. I wasn't calling you out, I was more making a point that winning is a focus for GMs - and more often than not, maybe not in your case, it is for the accolades rather than the players you are developing.

Right.. the point is sustained success is difficult if you're doing your job right. The days where we used the VHLM to develop GMs is gone, it should be for developing players.

It is a reward and a huge advantage to have a player at 175 TPE.. If there is incentive to get those players into the VHL how many GMs do you think will go the extra mile to get that player to do another PT? The system is broken because there are too many GMs focused on winning and there needs to be complete focus on development. Hell @tfong means well, but he admitted that he was focusing on a playoff streak. A good GM should be losing all of his quality players to the VHL every year.

Well the pay could stay at 1TPE per week and then a bonus for graduates. The idea is to reward GMs for getting players to the VHL. in the current system we are actually rewarding GMs to get their players to 175 and then go inactive...

The issue is the role of a VHLM GM should be to develop players and winning is secondary. If there was more parity to the league by restricting trades and FA then you could see more first gens realize a greater impact early on.

What would those obvious reasons be? Because the VHLM functioned just as good without pay.

In that scenario, keep the draft.. my making the pay structure that way there is an incentive not to tank, and to develop your players, rather than doing whatever it takes to win (even if that includes bombing for seasons before) A VHLM GM should not get paid if he's tanking and doesn't develop any players..

Why don't we just restrict trading in the VHLM and have waivers based on priority, and no free agents.. VHLM GM's don't get a weekly pay, instead a lump sum at the end of the year depending on how many players they graduated to the VHL.. Treat the league the way it should be - a developmental league..

Not 150 words you jackass
