Davos, Switzerland Riga, Latvia Helsinki, Finland (seriously, how are you not 100% sure Helsinki is in Finland, it's the easiest one on the list, easier even than Cologne) Stockholm and Vasteras, Sweden Cologne, Germany Bern, Switzerland Bratislava, Slovakia Oslo, Norway Kolari, Finland (this is the only one I've had to look up) Turku, Finland And now, for something completely different: Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso Khartoum, Sudan Bloemfontein, South Africa (as well as the more known three cities: Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria) Asuncion, Paraguay Montevideo, Uruguay Belmopan, Belize Andorra La Vella, Andorra Valletta, Malta Windhoek, Namibia Tashkent, Uzbekistan

I'm not entirely sure either (and I think it's old enough I couldn't look it up if I wanted to) but I think my entire top line in S21 was around there or better. Rasmussen was the only inactive, and therefore the only one with many seasons, but Evgeni Fyodorov had a hell of a goal scoring year (pretty sure he held the record for a while), Keon Henderson racked up the assists with him, and Rasmussen was their center. Rasmussen, I'm sure was the lowest of the three, so he may not have nipped 170 but I think Fyodorov was mid 200s or something. It helped that the best goalie that year was 86 TPE, and he was on my team, so these guys were racking up the points against 40-50 TPE inactives

It'll end up being 3, if @StamkosFan does it like he said he will

From the sound of it, I won't be!

Jeevan Samuelsson must be the Lars Rasmussen of the later era. Rasmussen was fantastic in the early 20s.

I thought he was, now that it's in between seasons. I could have sworn I saw that somewhere

Then I'm definitely on board staying. Whichever you'd rather - I've been in Calgary for probably 30ish seasons out of the 40ish I've been on the site, so this is home, I'll never turn that down.

So it'll just be me and the new kids for a bit. That's fine with me, it's basically VHLM GMing extended a few seasons. @Bushito if you need to ship me I'm good with that, if you want to keep me around, I'm obviously good with that too.

SO THIS IS THE POST WHERE I'M HIRING. I really do think all three guys are great picks, but the thing I need the most is that afternoon availability. The life of an overnight worker. Hiring @Esso2264 As for the other two guys, I know @Peace is about to be the main guy, not sure with @Reives, but if they're taking steps up, they might be in the market to hire?

See I would do this, but I don't think the numbers go up to 162

Seemed like you were saying she was the first to do it ever. I don't think there were any before last season (the active people were recreates and knew the best times to make a new guy)

You offer to do them for money, and just get a laugh. I offered back in S20 to do them for Nagger for free and got fucking reported.

Didn't @oilmandan do this the season before

Ottawa Lynx I see you there

Guy in the general sense, although I really should stop doing that

I know in my case, I'm mostly fine without, but we have so many new guys and I'd like to see them get their foot in the door. Plus it doesn't hurt to have a guy around to talk to the new guys who sign up just after I'm asleep

Pens. I'm 33, so I was a 5 year old watching with my dad for the 90 cup, and 6 for the 91. Grew up on Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, Ron Francis, Kevin Stevens, Paul Coffey, Rick Tocchet, Tom Barrasso, etc.

Agreed. Now the first round vs Vegas, I think we'd have won that about half the time, anywhere in the 40 to 60 range - we picked up so many guys right at the deadline that we were definitely a stronger team going into the playoffs than we were for the average of the regular season. The Yukon one though, we had no business winning that. I was honestly happy when it got to game 6, let alone 7 and the winner.

@omgitshim the King of All 3rd Period.

Hi. You're technically not a free agent. The playoffs just ended in the VHLM (minors) and are in the finals in the VHL (bigs). The VHLM draft will be within the week, and you will be eligible to be selected in the draft. If by some chance you end up not selected (you'll be selected, I'm a VHLM GM and I'm noticing you being active and interested in the league, so one way or another you'll be selected) you'd then become FA. If in any given season, you joined after the draft but before the start of the playoffs, you'd be a waiver, which works essentially like FA. You'd choose a team for that season, then go into the following draft. Given when you joined, you can't sign somewhere for the current season (since it has ended), and will then be in the draft, which is looking like Sunday or Monday at this time but still waiting on confirmation from a few other GMs.

No such thing as a silly question, for someone just getting into the league. This place can be a little hard to figure at the beginning.

If you were applying, you'd fit in the group at the bottom. You're not specifically listed but I feel like people who are some of my favorites from over many years know who they are... Basically I'm just trying to divert people of similar level to these three (which is a pretty high level, to be fair) or people who I'd be less inclined to hire than them. I hate saying no to people; it's why I've only once ever gone to FA and even that was jokingly, it's why I wanted to quickly sign on with a brand, and it's why it's going to be hard enough to say no to two of the three.
