Theme Week - AJW - The Houston Bulls

[Achilles 91]

Since it is theme week I have decided to write about the only GM I have ever had so far,  @AJW

I am new to the league and do not have much experience with GM's but I can write a bit about the only GM I got to play for so far in the VHLM, AJW. I have only known him for a week but he welcomed me into his locker room with open arms. For a new player, this game can be complicated but in time it became extremely easy for me. AJW was there to help guide me through it. He has been busy this season on the trade front. Making moves to improve the team for the future. I had the honor to sit down with AJ for an exclusive interview.

 

You traded the best player on the team, the mediocre one, for a draft pick. Do you see yourself making more trades before the trade deadline? Achilles

 

At the moment I don’t see Houston needing to trade anyone else. The Mediocre One is a fantastic buy player, he leads the league in most categories this season, but I just didn’t have the right assets to win a cup with him. Most of the team is new to the league and still developing, so my thoughts were to trade him for some valuable picks to buff the team next season with everyone returning. AJW

 

Is it safe to say the bulls are in a rebuilding phase? Achilles

 

It is very safe to say that. We were hovering around the bottom of the standings before I made those trades so I figured it was the right thing to do. Last season in S85 we made a lot of trades for players and lost a lot of draft picks, so right now I am trying to get those picks back for the future of the organization. AJW

 

Do you think it would be best to trade most of your players for picks to have a better shot next year? and you can just redraft some of them? what are your plans with this current roster? Achilles

 

 

Most of our players are already coming back since they were drafted this past off season, and the rest are waiver players who’s trade value will be too low for other teams to want to trade. So at the moment I think everyone will be staying. AJW

 

What are your plans for the future of the bulls? and what are you hoping to accomplish? Achilles

 

For the short term future goals I want to build this team to be cup contenders next season. For long term future goals, I want to be in GM position of the Houston Bulls for atleast a year real life time, and I want to win GM of the season atleast once. AJW

 

Do you see any members of the Bulls possibly surprising you with their skill development? Achilles

 

Gio Naps, Shadow Thompson, and recently Thomas Matthews. Naps was drafted to the team this past off season and has shown great activity as well as earning abilities. Thompson was traded for at the start of the season and like Naps, has been great at everything and taken control of our starting goaltender position. And Matthews has been our best waiver signee by far, becoming a max earner and being one of the most active members in our locker room! AJW
