STZ

I’d do this but I can’t handle the STD jokes.

Accept. Thanks for all the offers from the other GM's. I would be more than happy if any one of you drafted me in the VHLM Draft! Looking forward to joining Philly on their cup run!

Anyone here still fuckin with BRs? I could use new Apex friends?

Benny Graves Rookie Profile Height: 6’6 Weight: 200 lbs Style: Scorer with Size Draft Season: 69 Nation: USA Benny Graves is an upcoming prospect who has declared for the Season 69 VHL Draft which is in two years. While he is quite young and has a few years until he will actually play in the VHL, he is expected to be selected within the first two rounds, and likely play in the VHL the year he is drafted. Scouts have been pretty high on the young centerman, although not many expected him to join the VHL over the other top leagues around the world. Earlier this week Graves signed with the STZ Player Agency who has deep connections to the VHL - and earlier today he announced that the VHL is where he is committed to playing for the duration of his career. In this Rookie Profile we will look in depth at Graves’ strengths and weaknesses as a blue chip prospect. There have been a team of scouts who have contributed to this article. Benny Graves is coming into the VHL as a player with huge upside. There are a number of different characteristics in Graves’ skillset that has scouts very excited. First and foremost his Size and Skating Ability is going to make him able to step into the VHL immediately. He will be able to keep up to competition as well as not be pushed around. He has had a natural scoring touch since his minor league days, and has proved with the USA National Development Program to be a very exceptional scorer. It is expected that this plays translates into success at the VHLM and ultimately the VHL level. Graves comes into the league with reserved expectations as there are many high calibre prospects in the VHLM. He looks to stand out in a group who all can score, as he tries to differentiate himself. Benny has a lot of things scouts are excited for however there are a couple red flags that have scouts wondering whether or not he is a top prospect, and elite prospect, or simply a serviceable player in the league. Here is where we take a deeper look at why some scouts have reservations on Benny Graves. After having 4 consecutive VHL HOF players in Osborne, Wylde, Unassisted, and DeGrath, the STZ Player Agency lost some of their swagger in Arkander and Zhields. Many scouts wonder if Graves is in the first category or the second, as the Player Agency’s Reputation is in question. Graves has always found the back of the net but many wonder if he has the vision to be an effective playmaker, which is very important as a centerman. Graves has been able to connect to his teammates but most of the time he has showcased his sense for the back of the net with his pro-level release. In the same vein, people have questioned his positional status as center as his faceoff ability has come into question as well. Some scouts have legitimate concerns with this player, while others say that he is young and those weaknesses will naturally correct themselves in time.

1) Since it's not been too long since you've joined the league, what are thoughts on the league so far as a whole? Things have changed a lot. A lot of new faces, this place feels very active from when I left a year ago. When I left the portal was in the early stages. Will was just putting the award pages and stuff together. Today I created a player, updated and applied skills, and it was eye-opening how better this system is. Can't say enough about the work that has been put into the league, and I'm very impressed with all the guys who have stepped up over the last year and have made this league as strong as it is. 2) Are there any areas in the league that you would like to see a change/improvement? Hard to really tell at this point. I thought I'd come in and know how to maximize my player as I've created 6 already and 4 which I played 8 seasons with. Things feel fresh, it feels like there is a lot for me to re-learn which is exciting. I think there could be better connections between Discord - Portal - Forum to know which player is which and who their VHL player is though. 3) The VHLM Newsletter launched earlier this week, did you read it and was it helpful to you? I'll be hitting it up next! 4) What are your aims this season in the VHLM? This season is almost over, so I'm expecting to chip in as a depth forward. Hopefully build my stats up so that I'm not a liability on the ice. 5) With the teams starting to take shape, who do you consider to be the favourite for the VHLM Founders Cup? I will need to do more research - however, that will play a big role into where I decide to sign! 6c) If a GM were to make you an offer, what kind of player would they be getting? They are getting a member who has been multiple GM in VHLM and multiple time GM in the VHL level. I have a lot of experience in the sim in getting success in player development as well as many championships in the VHLM. I think I'm easy to get along with and all that.

Bound for Toronto with those initials AMIRITE?

This announcement may come as a surprise to some, but likely most of the GMs already have known for a while that there is a change in management as of this off-season. I’ve been a part of this community for a long time. It’s crazy to think that it has been the better part of 8 years where I’ve been super active and have almost never missed a point task. Over those past 8 years I’ve changed a lot and life has taken over. First and foremost I have an incredible 4 year old daughter who has taken over my life. On top of that I just moved into a new house that’s been under construction for the past year and a half. And now in two weeks I’m starting a new position at work that will absolutely require my full attention. I joined this site in between jobs with a lot of free time and not a lot going for myself. I can still remember the early days here vividly because at the time that’s all I really had to get excited about. These days I’m finding it harder to stay engaged and be on consistently. I’m not saying I’m leaving the site but I’ll definitely be taking a huge step back. I want to support this community as much as I can and I will continue to stay present. However, for those of you who care I figured I would provide an explanation. With that being said, there will be a new General Manager of the New York Americans effective immediately. This is an internal hire who I’ve been discussing this succession plan for the better part of three seasons. He is a first-gen player who was drafted near the start of my time in New York. He’s impressed in the VHLM GM ranks and has been an amazing member of this site since coming on. I’m excited to announce that the new GM of the New York Americans is @Spade18! Thanks to everyone who has dealt with me during my time as GM, I had a lot of fun during this run. All the teammates I’ve had that stuck with me and believed in the plan, all I can say is thank you.

NYA Selects Chase Keller @Kendrick A lot of tough choices here, and I'm sure the other NYA guys will find a spot in the ASG. However, NYA recognizes the commitment Keller has had to NYA, and he really made a conscious decision to improve his build to help the team. Not only has it helped the team, but it has elevated him into the superstar we all knew he would become. Obviously not overlooking the guy tied with him at 109 points, Bo Boeser.
