Pilgrim and Tribs putting assists past their own team now

Another pointless game for the CFO. In a win though, so I'll take it

If both guys continue to develop, you could always deal Asipi to whatever team is kind of mid tier at the time and doesn't need the then-700/800 TPE guy (that presumably Iseult could get to). I mean rather than sitting an active guy as a backup if a starter role is out there

Shit. Of all the people not to be able to offer anything to. I have 8 active D I would have absolutely no room - a forward I could make something work for but I can't sign another D at all. I would very much have liked to have you on the team - I can put you in the locker room if you want

I'd honestly say that every team in group D is among the top 16 teams in the tournament, and in completely even groups they'd all make the knockouts. Obviously, we don't have, nor have ever had completely even groups (outside of Uruguay, group A is full of barely good enough teams - yes Salah is on Egypt, but we've seen with Messi before, one guy can't make a team. Same is true of C outside of France, but the one man team in C is Eriksen, who isn't even Salah).

That said, it's all speculative - Portugal could easily top Spain's group, or Argentina could get knocked out by France, etc.

It would be smart for Argentina to try to finish second in their group. If they win their group, they'd have Spain in the Quarters, provided Spain also win their group

This, but Benjamin Vigilante on Miami NCAA and Joel Karttunen on Michigan NCAA

For my first guy, I did a lot of "what is he doing in his life" type of articles. He was a Swiss D, I had him looking for apartments in Calgary when I was drafted, finding new restaurants in Calgary he'd stop at, I had him take a vacation back home in Switzerland to go skiing, I had him host a party with all his teammates, I hooked him up with some Olympic gymnast that was in the news at the time, etc.

Last season I had some new guys wanting to do trivia and asked me about a few questions (and I don't do trivia specifically because I don't want to have to find them). It took no time at all for one of them, but the other one took longer to find than it takes me to write an article (granted, that might be a flawed comparison because articles don't take me as long as the average person). This was for a trivia that I didn't even do. To an extent, I think the historians among us assume trivia is easy because it's easy for them. It is, almost by design, an extension of carryover - it's basically free TPE for older members who are aware of all possible sections of the forum (if, of course, you've bothered to learn it, like I haven't). In comparison, the new guys either need to spend 5x the time or ask an older member.

Updating should definitely be paid more - I'd be inclined to take every other job available before I'd even touch updating, so we need to make it worth someone's while. However, I wouldn't exactly say trivia is quick, unless you're Victor.

Come to Calgary, we have me

You guys have been surprising me so far this series

You must be having "cup rum" right now

@Beaviss

Nope - check the release thread

Also Brendan Wilson, same is true except he hasn't been on since 15th.

Daniel Kenny and Euan Hamill. Looks like both have gone inactive, and have not been on since the 26th.

OTT gets Billy Pilgrim Varis Tribuncovs YUK gets S61 OTT 1st/2nd/3rd/4th OTT accept @Smarch

Then I can get his if he joins

Great result, good to see the new guys in the sim already (although I'll have to go in and officially put them in the lines) but how do I still have Gary Goose? I've released him TWICE.

If there's a way for me to cover your portion without having to jump through too many hoops, I could do that

@twoplayable Ottawa offers $1m. You'd be the backup, but I'll get you some games, probably against Vegas or Yukon (going to need Asipi in there against Sask and Oslo). @Gooningitup @Spade18 @Smarch @Laflamme are the other VHLM GMs, not sure what their goalie situations look like, but if Hedgehog is right I'm expecting this to be the best available spot.

I'll put out a thread to officially offer the spot

Then I'm guessing my backup spot is the best place for him
