It's been quiet so far for Moscow. Do you have any thoughts on some of the huge trades made around the league? Been so many trades it's tough to keep up - crazy number so far. Which of your teammates is most deserving of an award this offseason? All of them, they all are the best. Who is your not-so-early pick to win the Stanley Cup? Hard to bet against the Jets if they stay healthy. Amazing goaltending and a deep squad. What is a regional thing (food, music, art, places, anything) from your player's country that you would want to show the rest of the team? Yorkshire Pudding What other propaganda pieces should we put out on your player to increase value? Please do the opposite - try and tank my value so I can come back to Moscow! If you could be in the stands for any hockey game in history, what game would it be? 2010 Olympic Finals.

We have two players retiring, all-time Moscow great and a true Menace to the league, David Rashford, and our newest defenseman, Montgomery Burns. Do you have any message for these guys as they move on? Been a pleasure gents, going to miss y'all! These retirements are leaving some big holes in the lineup, though we do have S97 Founders Cup champion Kazuma Satou (@Spartan), moving up and switching to C. How do you think Moscow should aim to improve for next season? Keep doing what they are doing. Are you planning to participate in any offseason tournaments? Personally no, there's not much for my very immature new player to participate in. Who is your favorite athlete outside of the NHL? Roger Federer or Lewis Hamilton. Who is your pick for MVP of the Four Nations Faceoff? Lots of candidates from Canada, hard to choose. MacDaddy and McDaddy both made strong cases, as did Crosbovski. Will Alexander Ovechkin hit 895 goals and break Gretzky's record this season? Hopefully not.

Genuinely such an honour. To be enshrined alongside a legendary member like @Beketov really puts it in perspective.

Rashford Officially Retires He knew the day was coming, he had done for a long time. Still, it did not make the day any easier. David Rashford is officially retired from the VHL - never to step foot on the ice again. It was a painful ending to an interesting career, losing a heart-breaking game 7 in the Conference Finals. Rashford really wanted to win a 2nd cup with Moscow, but some bad playoff luck meant that it wouldn't happen. Still, for an unsigned draftee he couldn't have done anymore in his career. Let's take a look and see where he nets out all time for the Menace: 5th all time in Points 4th all time in goals 7th all time in assists 5th all time in playoff goals Pretty ridiculous given how he started his career. Add in a few individual awards, including an MVP as voted by the players, a couple of Victory Cups and the all-important Continental Cup and you have someone who may not be a hall-of-famer, but certainly made a case for the hall-of-very-good, and is a slam-dunk for hall-of-surprisingly-good! Rashford is sad to be leaving Moscow but is looking forward to what the future holds. Rumour has it, his youngest cousin might make a splash in the VHL, so perhaps Rashford has a reason to stick around and still keep up with the league.

Which country do you think will win the Four Nations Faceoff? Hard to bet against Canada or US, but I'll lean Canada in this one even though goaltending is a question. Who do you expect to lead in points in the Four Nations Faceoff? Sidney Mothafucking Crosbovski! We're up against the ropes, whether we make it through to the next round or not, how do you feel about our season, reflecting on it to date? We did not make it. We got really unlucky with some, quite frankly, ridiculous ejections including our goalie 4 minutes into a game. If there's a way to prevent that @Commissioner then I'd strong suggest looking into it. Wildcard teams seem to be doing considerable damage to the league's top contenders this year. What do you think is causing this? Is it the break? There's a lot of parity among the top teams. It's not like they aren't strong teams themselves. Also, generally the younger a team is the quicker they will improve which means it's quite a different team from the beginning of the season. If you could bring back any former Moscow player for help in these playoffs, who would it be? Gotta be the legend @STZ Hard Markinson who was an absolute baller in the playoffs. Do you have any crazy offseason predictions? We see a shock retirement that shakes up the landscape of the NA Conference.

David David Signs for Mexico City It’s official, the newest phenom from the Season 99 draft has signed with the Mexico City Kings. David David will join the Kings before the end of the regular season just in time to get some reps in ahead of the playoffs. Mexico City are not expected to make much noise in the knockout stages but with the addition of David, a hulking figure from the UK, maybe they will catch some late season momentum and make a push in the first round. While it’s unlikely to happen, David is happy for the opportunity to play some meaningful games so early in his professional career. “It’s really great to have Mexico City believe in my ability to help them out on the ice. While it’s unlikely I’ll be back next year (since they’ll have to draft me) I’m going to try and make the most of this experience and learn as much as possible. It seems like they have a great group of guys who are much more comfortable than I am so hopefully they can help me settle in. I really am looking forward to playing some high intensity hockey.”

1. The trade deadline has come and gone, and no major moves were made. Do you feel that the lack of moves by other contenders impacts our Continental Cup odds? I would say we're right up there in contention, if we can sort out our defensive woes. 2. How important do you expect seeding to be in a tightly contested European conference? Honestly, historically it's proven not to be that important. Just gotta get to the playoffs and then figure it out from there. 3. If you could nominate one player on the team besides your own for an award, who would it be and what award would it be? Ruutu for MVP. Deserves one before his career is over. 4. How would you describe your player's personality in the locker room? Lead by example. 5. What would be your pregame hype song going into a playoff game? Something calm to get mentally prepared for the game. 6. Have you seen any interesting storylines this season that nobody has talked about yet? The bad teams are collectively worse than the good teams are good.

Appreciate that, happy with that resolution!

Also if anyone can help, I meant to create for the S99 draft. How do I do that?
