Sask 6-2

Yes please

@Molholt @Kendrick @omgitshim @Bushito are we good with this?

If I'm good to pick, then I'll go Norris Stopko. Didn't want to cut the line even if the time had passed, unless someone said to do it (I'd actually been following this thread last night at work)

CGY 4-2

Same as Saskatoon just offered, Ottawa will go $1m to be backup. Starter (Asipi) is pretty firmly entrenched, but you'll get games here and there. The goalie market is weird right now.

TOR RIG NYA HEL

If we need a second faceoff guy, I could put a little into it. I don't really mind doing that

False. You can claim whatever you want about how you perceive his attitude to be, you don't have to like him (given your fandom I'd expect you not to) but "sucks" has some level of objectiveness to it, and he is objectively good.

The VHLM is pretty high scoring, mostly because the goalies aren't that developed yet and the forwards haven't started needing to put into defense (some of the defensemen haven't either, but most have at least some). The VHL is less high scoring.

Even a brand new 30 TPE guy is 30 TPE ahead of a bot, so you'll always be valuable in the VHLM even if you haven't really added much yet. Good to hear the issue we spoke about is starting to clear up a bit for you, looking forward to having you on the team for the season

@declanburns @TWalkerFC @Hoopydog @Benm2110 @CookieJo @dea5shot @Wolf Edmunds We have games now, in case you didn't yet see these

I put them in this morning, with the portal link thing that Will sent. That must not be fully working yet. I just now (as in, a few minutes ago but definitely after this sim) sent ones in with the client file the old fashioned way.

Sooo... the new lines didn't take. Guess I'll have to do it the old way

Also, for those of you comparing this to the standard player 2 project we just got rid of: I wasn't particularly inclined to make a player 2 (except for when I was just coming back, because Hrdina was essentially a half-player at that point). I'm absolutely making a VHLM Star if this becomes a thing.

Originally I was against having them go to the VHL at all (just VHLM) but you have a point about replacing the scrub inactives. I think the only thing I'd modify from your proposal is to add a rule you can't make a VHLM Star while your original player is in the VHLM, you have to wait until he's in the VHL

That's what I was saying. We were 5-0-2 in preseason. No regulation losses. So what do we do in the first game that counts...

See above

Better. I need to edit the lines to put Pajari and Ironside in, should be able to do that tomorrow night (right now I'm in the middle of my 2nd 12 hour shift on back to back days - when that happens, it's work/sleep/eat/shower/work and no time on my home computer at all). Off tomorrow

As good as we were in preseason, I did not expect that.

What, like regular guys get 75 and VHLM Stars get 30? Isn't that essentially the same thing as regular guys get 30 and VHLM Stars get 0, just without doing too much to play around with the regular guys

Yes they start with 0. I don't necessarily think 30 people will create them, nor do I think it's unreasonable for there to be more overall players in the league than there currently are. If it gets unreasonable, add a team, but I don't think it will. Perhaps they could be limited to one season post-cap (where they can't add anything) and then are auto-retired and have to make a new one. It might not be perfectly fleshed out but the skeleton of an idea is here.
