Tynan Sylvester (diamond_ace) has announced their retirement.

I'm gonna need to know who is a first gen tho...my first VHL experience was 55 seasons ago, if that counts? 😛
 
 

FREE PIZZA OF YOUR CHOOSING

I'll buy whoever a pizza. You tell me where and how to order it for you online, and I'll pay for it.

London Ontario has a large population of homeless people. So I plan to give out 1 pizza for every $5 donated and I will match the highest bidder as well.
 
If you bid $100, that will go straight to the VHL charity drive. Which means I’ll spend $100 on pizza + matching another $100 for a total of $200 of pizza. Basically whatever the highest bid is I double it on pizzas. Hope that makes sense. 

As a stretch goal, I will record and perform an Acapella cover of any song. The highest donator can choose which song. 
 
I will do literally any song provided it’s not like an hour long symphony or something unreasonable like that.

Just to recap where we are and get discussions going again before I push this to a final Blue decision:
 
Proposal:
First year - 5%
Second year - 8%
Third/Fourth year - 12%
 
Regression fighters go from:
5->4% to 8->5%
and
7->5% to 12->8% 
 
9th season regression:
Remains full 12%, TBD if we allow Jagr usage or not. I don't quite care either way as a 9 season player who has played my career very safe in terms of TPA, banking TPE and saving contract money
 
In a perfect world I'd like this to be announced next Monday at the TDL to go into effect for the S87->S88 offseason so we give everyone a season+ to prepare.

Outright International is an org that partners with local groups around the world to help advocate for queer youth and adults from fighting against conversion therapy to working with government groups. They don't accept PayPal, but seems like a wider impact (geographically) if you're wanting to support queer folks!

I am a fan of The Trevor Project but they are only in the US. Unsure if there is a Canadian equivalent, but supporting and protecting LGB+++ youth is critical, and only going to be needed more, unfortunately, judging by political trends.

Basically: if you draft Plate at 7, when Flyers is still on the board, your team gets given to someone with more of a brain and less of a baguette...

Definitely yes to this - I'd like to add I'm more in favor of the "all inactive goalies are dropped at the end of the season and re picked up after the draft" than letting a team keep the rights - I know there was a span of seasons in the early 20s where whoever had Mattias Backlund was at least in the finals, regardless of roster composition, mostly because I was one of the teams that won a cup with him (S21 Ottawa, although I also had the roster composition - Fyodorov and Keon Henderson) so I know just how uneven inactive goalies can get. Manship had Backlund the season before that, and won the cup with a mediocre Bern team, so definitely reset the inactive goalie teams each season.

Originally, @Ledge was planning to step down from Miami Marauders GM at the end of the season (along with others, which will not be announced until such time as they become relevant) but given recent events he has decided to accelerate that timeline a bit, which is of course completely understandable - we all enjoy this place and commit our varying degrees of time to it, but it is a game, so if things are happening in real life it's understandable to need to prioritize that. So we have decided (for the second time across my tenure in particular) to name an interim GM. Insert obligatory two dog gifs so that the hire doesn't appear in the preview:
 



Congratulations to @Lemorse7 - the guy is on constantly, and will be able to deal with the flow of new people coming in through the ads, given Miami is one of the teams with available space for players. Full disclosure: we had reached out to a different candidate first, who is more closely affiliated with Miami in particular, but that candidate is in his busiest time of year right now - he is definitely still viable moving forward. Should both Lemorse and that candidate be given positions in the next round of full hires, it is likely some team shuffling will occur a la the Gus-Berocka transition in Mississauga.
