Admin Victor 10,940 Posted November 9, 2021 Admin Share Posted November 9, 2021 Greetings VHL/E/M/ians. We have some exciting changes to announce just before off-season as we look to rebalance the leagues a bit after the first VHLE season. With the VHLM TPE cap having dropped to 200, we have found that 12 teams is probably too many for the VHLM. At the same time, our S80 experience and current projections suggest that 6 teams is too few for the VHLE. So, the easiest solution is a very European style promotion! From S81, the Minnesota Storm and Yukon Rush will be moving from the VHLM to the VHLE. With that bombshell out of the way, a bit of housekeeping is in order. Seasoned veterans will remember the Minnesota Storm were known as the Oslo Storm for much of their existence, including as recently as S64 when they were the last European VHLM franchise. So, with their move to the VHLE the Storm are also going back home to Oslo. @Laine, Minnesota's GM and one of the many fine applicants for the inaugural VHLE GM positions, will also be making the move to Oslo. As for the Rush, the name lends itself to the Alps and the slightly underrated hockey nations of Austria and Switzerland. Geneva Rush? Vienna Rush? The final name will be announced shortly once confirmed between the VHLE Commissioners and the GM - @Brewins15, who has expressed interest in moving across the VHLE from Halifax. From a VHLM perspective, this means a job opening in Halifax. The VHLM Commissioners will also separately announce the plan on how to treat the remaining Yukon and Minnesota players in the VHLM. In the VHLE, Oslo and Geneva/Vienna will receive the 3rd and 4th pick in every round of the draft, as well as an additional 9th and 10th pick in every round of the draft - thereby getting additional players and avoiding an expansion draft.

a_Ferk 766 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 The VHLM had enough players, the problem was how they were dispersed. The top teams had full rosters and the bottom teams were nearly empty. If they were evenly distributed every team probably would've been around 6-4-1.

The top teams had full rosters and the bottom teams were nearly empty. If they were evenly distributed every team probably would've been around 6-4-1. They had the same amount of draft picks as the other teams and had the same opportunities as the other teams. That's not an issue with how it was dispersed.
