New York right now, because of New England Patriots Syndrome. Nothing against them or most of their members, but it's impossible to like a team that's constantly winning. That's the only real reason I went with them. I mean Chris is the GM, so of course I'm actually pretty positively inclined to them in that regard.

Still doing Jardy's just haven't managed to do it yet

Word has just come from the VHL Predictions office that diamond_ace, agent of busts (or is that busty agent? Nah that's Boom) has selected his own player to win an award. His predictions have goaltender Martin Brookside winning the Most Improved award, which as Brookside is his own player and therefore statistically incapable of ever being successful, means that he has officially forfeited the available point for correctly predicting the Most Improved. We have reached out to diamond_ace to ask about this lunacy. "Well, I wanted to pick my player for an award, just so that he'd be in there. He's more likely to sign on with me, or to inspire other players to sign with me including Finnish defensive sensation Kerkko Hyvärinen, if he thinks I believe in him. It's bollocks of course, I don't believe in him in the slightest, but the important part is that he thinks I do. That's why I wanted to pick him for the award." "Why specifically Most Improved? Well, I'd heard a lot of other people were picking him for that, so I figured if I was going to sacrifice a point, it wouldn't hurt me as much if it was a point no one else was going to get either. It certainly has nothing to do with the fact that he's on a better team with a better defense in front of him, practiced hundreds of hours in the offseason, and is an entirely logical candidate, discounting the fact that he is my player and therefore can't. No, that would be a silly reason. Everyone in the VHL knows that jinxes are stronger than logic."

BOYCHUK!

I went to FA one time, not really even a true FA as I always intended to keep with Calgary, but even then it was horrible. Tyler made this fantastic pitch for Vasteras and it made me feel bad not signing with them. Never doing it again.

I guessed it correctly in my VHLM Mag article

Player Name: Martin Brookside VHL Team: Cologne Express Cash you have: 22 million Purchase Name: Two Attys, and PT Upgrade Cost of Purchase: 5 million and 2 million so 7 million Cash Left: 15 million

Doesn't matter had Calgary

There has to be at least one thing that proves we're different people.

Calgary, there will only ever be one right answer.

Come to Prague. Bennett Wahl has all of the money (and a commie spot) so you'll need to suck up to his agent munk to get paid, but it's easy to come to some sort of an arrangement with munk.

Quick quiz: Who was a successful GM of a VHLM team, winning multiple cups in his tenure, before taking over both as Calgary GM and as VHLM Commish? Trick question. It was me, back in the day, but it is now also eaglesfan036. It's weird to me how similar his early VHL career is to mine. The blue team changed all the things around a while ago, when they really shouldn't have until his player was here, but nonetheless this is a change everyone knew was coming, so here is the announcement.

So EVERY team in the NA? What would Calgary have in return and why would they want him?

Yu kon't be serious...

Old way before either one of them, but I like the jersey better than the players

No, 850 TPE isn't anything to scoff at, it's probably just under what I'll end up with for Brookside (With player store purchases still to come, I'll likely finish in the low 900s, going all 8, but retiring in preseason before the 8th season just to keep the player, so it's 7 seasons of TPE). When you're on, you're absolutely on, there's no denying that. The question is whether you're going to be at early-mid Olsen level with Wingate. So far, everything points to yes, but the fact that you did leave before he was done (even if only briefly and for a good reason) provides some doubt that it might happen again. Some doubt, even if it's only a small doubt, is more than no doubt. I'd say 85% or so that you end up being a great player and none of this ever matters (in fact, if forced to put money down on you either beating or falling short of Olsen's total, I'd bet on you beating it). However, that's still 15% more than people who have been here through entire cycles. It's risk reward, you're 85% going to produce a guy with 800+, and probably a 50-50 bet to be 1000. 15% of the time, you might go for a much smaller amount. Unlikely, but we at least know the possibility is there. Do you go with that, or do you go with a guy who might only end up being 700 or so, but is 97% to be there? You're the mystery box on Let's Make a Deal. The contestant knows the car is still out there, and it's usually found in things like the mystery box, so there's a good chance it turns up if they go for the box. However, the box could still have a goat on a rope, or a pair of moon shoes, some gag prize. The odds are in their favor as a lot of the gag prizes have been given away already and that means this box has a very good chance of being the car, but they already have the Hawaii vacation and would have to exchange it for the box. Most of the time, you're going to be the car. The vast majority of the times you've been in sim leagues, you've been the car. There's just the tiniest bit of doubt that you could be the moon shoes, so however small that is, it might be safer to just keep the Hawaii vacation.

As much as I want to buy into you, and you know I was your biggest supporter with Bobby Krims, you fell off quickly. Then Karsten Olsen came, looked like he was going to be everything I thought Krims would be, then he ended up falling off as well. I really hope you stay, you're a good active guy and could be a huge contributor here, but I have no actual evidence to assume it will be the case. Still, given the way this class is looking so far, Olsen alone gets you probably top 5.

We don't use teams that already exist

y u no wan calguree

They are in the draft after this, or at least the good ones are
