I wrote a media spot wooooooooooooooo

This will be a series in which I look at the reign of every GM of every VHL franchise and decide which GM is the best in team history, which is the worst, and which is the most forgettable.

-------------------------------------

The Calgary Wranglers are one of the VHL's most esteemed franchises. With an impressive seven cup wins, Calgary has also been extremely stable, with only five General Managers in their thirty-six seasons of existence (easily the least of any of the original eight franchises). They have had a VHL record three GM's hold the position for at least eight consecutive seasons (for reference, only one other VHL team can boast having two such GM's). All things considered, this franchise has been a model of consistency in the league. But of course, with the constant ebb and flow of the league, there have been some down times in the franchise's history, much like any other VHL team, so here's a primer on some of the performances of the General Managers that have led the Wranglers in years past and present.

Best GM in Franchise History: Scott Boulet (S3-S10)

Record: 388-156-32 (67.4%)

Cup Wins: 2

Although many would argue that Brett Slobodzian should get this spot for an insane two-year run to start the franchise that saw Calgary win more than 80% of its games, I personally side with Boulet just because of the sustained success he had throughout his entire run. Boulet inherited a cup winning team from Slobo, and although most would attribute his first cup win in Season 3 to the building of the past GM, Boulet was able to keep his team in constant Cup competition with his masterful building.

Boulet was one bad mother fucker.

Boulet's consistency was truly a feat to behold. He led Calgary to seven consecutive 40-plus win seasons, only missing the playoffs once in that run in a Season 4 that saw division rivals Seattle and Hamilton both top 50 wins on the year. Boulet finally succumbed to a rebuild in his last year, picking up 56 of his 156 losses in Season 10 before passing the team off to Matt Bentz. It was the end of an era that saw Calgary dominate the VHL for the first nine seasons of the league's history.

Worst GM in Franchise History: Matt Bentz (S11-S19)

Record: 302-302-44 (47.6%)

Cup Wins: 2

It's very strange to see a GM with two Cup wins be called the worst in a franchise's history, but that's a testament to just how good Calgary GM's have been throughout team history. Bentz's run at the helm of Calgary finished with the biggest bang possible, as a huge free agency coup that saw the team court stars Alexander Sauve, Matt Bailey and Ryley Dawson in a two year stretch helped the GM end with two consecutive Continental Cup wins. With such a big finish, how can Bentz be called the worst GM in team history?

His main issue was his very slow start. Yes, he was leading the best franchise in league history up to that point through its very first rebuild, and yes, he did have to deal with the Bentz Curse, which described the surprising tendency of top Calgary prospects and players to retire on Bentz unexpectedly. However, it took Bentz until his seventh season in Season 17 to finally finish with a record above .500. He made the playoffs a couple times in his first six years, but those were extremely weak years in the North American Conference. Bentz won 112 games in his last two seasons as Wranglers GM, meaning that his teams averaged less than 30 wins in the other seven seasons he held the position. He was still an overall good GM, but for a franchise loaded with great ones, Bentz holds the spot at the worst one.

Most Forgettable GM in Team History: Jardy Bunclewirth (S20-S25)

Record: 177-230-25 (41.0%)

Cup Wins: 1

Somebody had to lose here. After Brett Slobodzian, Jardy Bunclewirth is the second-shortest-tenured GM in team history. He also boasts the worse winning percentage in team history. So why did he not go into the worst GM category then? The answer is simple: he had a couple years of strong success after taking over a team with essentially no assets, and then finished his tenure with one more rebuilding year. Unlike Bentz, it didn't take Bunclewirth seven seasons and a monumentally fruitful free agency run to win his cup. Rather, Bunclewirth put his team together through drafting and trades, and led the Wranglers on a fairly quick turnaround by winning a Cup just three seasons after the Bentz reign was over.

So what's so forgettable about Jardy then? Nothing really, but someone had to take this spot. He's sandwiched between the two longest running GM's in team history in Bentz (nine seasons) and Jason Glasser (eleven seasons and counting). Not only that, but Jardy's run of success was pretty short, and the aforementioned GM's he's sandwiched between have just been more buzzworthy in their runs than Jardy was (Bentz for the Curse, Glasser for his long-sustained success). Bunclewirth will go down as one of the better GM's in VHL history, but unfortunately, also finished his run in Calgary as the most forgettable one the team has ever had.

Muffins.

With his unusually high levels of testosterone, it's hard for him to find one that fits. Those that do are excessively expensive.

Thank you Boom, that's exactly what it is.

Everyone can do with some sassing now and then. How have you been?

I've been okay, you?

Don't sass me boy!

"I'll make a QB, TE, OT, DE and Safety for us when time comes."

 

I lost your post in the 4 pages somewhere along the way sorry about that.  We do need a OC and if you still want to make players and do this for real then I have no problem with that.  I don't know who you are though I completely thought you were Munk when I first seen you post.  I'm not sure how GLB version 2 works but we could run 2 QBs where 1 does mobility and the other runs pocket passer.  In the original when I stopped playing mobile QBs were all the rage and nearly impossible to stop.  Also at the end of the day whoever becomes more reliable and is in it for the long haul is what we need so even if you both made pocket QBs its one of the most important positions and worth taking 2 if we do want to do this and we fear someone might flake out eventually.

 

Yeah, I said earlier I was interested in OC'ing as well. I have some experience with it on GLB.

Also, I'll add making an LB as well since Trifecta has the QB.

I gave you exact positions.

I'll make a QB, TE, OT, DE and Safety for us when time comes.

I actually committed to QB before Trifecta, but it's whatever.

I got House Baratheon.

I'll make a QB, TE, OT, DE and Safety for us when time comes.

Is there a way to transfer your flex points from an account on the previous GLB? I have thousands upon thousands of them from waaaaaaaaay back when.

EDIT: Never mind, got it. I have 22,000 flex points. I can make a couple players and possibly OC for our team if we get it going.

Still pulling for SF. I like the makeup of the team, they're fun to watch. Plus Seattle "fans" don't deserve a Super Bowl, so fuck that team.
