My Random VHL Thoughts - S81 - Part 7

[Fire Tortorella 2,653]

• It's the eve of the beginning of the season! Well, the day before the day before I guess, but close enough. I sort of went through the motions with my last player - I'm more excited for the start of the season than I have been for a long time.
• I was thinking about this the other day (and it might be a fun thing to have the rest of the league comment on, no matter how long you've been here) - what are the VHL related changes I was right about and which ones were I wrong about?
• I'll start off with wrong - I was 100000000% wrong on the portal. I thought having to set up a separate site to do all that the portal does would be too confusing and be the death of the league/forum, which were the same thing at the time. Ironically enough, I was kind of right about the forum, but that was more to do with discord and the general movement of society at large than the portal change itself.
• The change I was "right" on was Project Player Two (or at least I think I was, since I can't find the thread in the BoG). For those who don't know what PP2 was, members had the ability to have two players at once. However, this led to a lot of burnout (and some other things) and was eventually removed. I was against it from the start...I think. I also proposed an active backup goalie salary cap exemption back in 2015, but it never gained traction until years later.
