I have 6 D at the moment so Ottawa will decline, but good luck wherever you go, and feel free to PM me with any questions

meute 3-1

I meant the GM before Eagles in Calgary (aka me)

GM before that was good though

Had to move Dimirio up so switched the shootout around while I was in there. It's you, Hamill, and Walker now

Also at the time the lines were entered, I don't think much of your scoring (or really much of anything for most of the team) was in the sim.

Not sure exactly. I know why Walker was in it (I wanted to give Edmunds some PP time, and Walker was the guy from 2nd line that I didn't carry over to PP to make room for Edmunds, so I threw Walker in the shootout to kind of offset it a bit) but the other two, not sure.

As for that, I'll likely be in touch near the deadline, but I want to see which of my new guys last until then. Ideally I want to give them as much chance as I can

I don't need a goalie. I need Sask to not have one.

aaaaaaand fuck.

Don't know what happened to Calgary, but you're the GM of Quebec so the rebuild is on you, and Sask I acted like it was a debate but it's completely Broalie being a bust. I feel like Gooning should trade for Santos or Aamo, but the longer he goes, the more the rest of us profit

So this year's VHLM has been particularly unpredictable in many ways. How things were supposed to play out is not at all how they have played out. 1. Saskatoon is the biggest surprise. This was a team that largely expected to win the league, or at least finish near the top. Having 4 of the top 6 picks and 6 of the top 10, one might reasonably have concluded that this was the team to beat - Bryce Zhields and Johannes Vilhjalmsson are two of the best players in the VHLM, and the other two Vilhjalmsson brothers as well as Bastion Logan Mac Finsceal and Beau Louth should really have made this team much better than they've been so far. There have been two major flaws, of course. Drafting Oyorra Arroyo only to see him get called up to Calgary was a big blow, and goaltender Brody Neufeld has not lived up to his draft selection at all. With arguably the worst starting goalie in the league, Saskatoon hasn't kept the puck out of the net particularly well, and the second highest goals for total hasn't been enough to compensate for it. 2. Yukon has been the opposite of Saskatoon - in fact, if you took the current standings and just swapped Saskatoon and Yukon, it would look a whole lot more normal. Yukon are the defending champions, which usually doesn't bode too well for teams in the VHLM. Unlike most defending champions, Yukon retained some of their biggest pieces, namely Billy Pilgrim, Tristan Iseult, and Varis Tribuncovs - coincidentally, one player in each phase of the roster. Yukon's depth is underwhelming, however, despite their place at the top of the standings. Presumably, when other teams' developing players get near the point Pilgrim, Iseult, and Tribuncovs are, depth could take over and be Yukon's undoing. 3. Everyone else. Ottawa and Oslo aren't too far off. Ottawa was supposed to be second and they are third, but only a single point back of Oslo with two games in hand, so effectively Ottawa is in control of their destiny as far as second. Oslo should have been battling with Yukon for third, so while they'd be inclined to be disappointed to be behind Yukon, they can offset that with the fact that they're technically second and realistically third which is a good result for them standings-wise. Las Vegas are last, as expected. They're relatively competitive though, which is promising. Should the standings remain as they are, Vegas will have the opportunity to upset preseason favorites Saskatoon in the wild card, doing the rest of the league a favor and not letting them right the ship.

Full roster, 30 TPE inactive can go.

It stands, welcome aboard

I think Eagles hasn't put in lines yet, which would affect who plays (the default sim lines are the highest OVR). However, I'd have expected the highest OVR to have been Vladislav Koradek, since his TPE is the highest among your goalies. How Woods got in there, I'm not sure. Hopefully Eagles can put in lines for you guys.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Quebec drafted BOTH Iseult and Asipi, and if they both stay active, you could potentially get in the market for one when you need one.
