Scurvy 1,549 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Well, S89 started off with a bang for former Warsaw Defenseman Brian Payne. Signed as a free agent in VHLM, drafted 26th overall by Warsaw in S82, Payne has always wanted to prove people wrong. A solid TPE earner and gritty defenseman won a cup with Warsaw in S84 and won a few defensive awards. However, all things come to an end and a re-building Warsaw club traded the dman to a very, very good Vancouver Wolves club for some draft picks. We caught up and had a sit down with the new Wolves Dman and he filled us in on the emotions of being traded: Reporter: Brian, you have always been an underdog and have found success along the way. How did it feel to be traded by the team you gave your heart and soul for? Payne: “It was tough. I love the fans, teammates, and GM. They have all been great to me. But after missing the playoffs for the first time in my career, at any level, I knew the team had to do what’s best for their future. I have no hard feelings. @N0HBDY was always up front with me and I understand completely. I wish them all the success in the world…..after the next two season of course. Lol Reporter: “How has it been with your new club? What changes if anything do you want to bring to such a storied franchise in Vancouver? Payne: “Its intimidating for sure being around such professionals. The club is active and invested in each other. They want total success, and they brought me here to help win another cup. That is all I am concerned with. I don’t care about personal stats or awards of any kind for me. I want to help the Wolves hoist the cup and feel that cold steel in my hands once more.” Reporter: “ Brian, your known for playing a physical and nasty game in front of your net. You fight, hit, and sometimes that means an abundance of PIMS. I have heard a rumor where with Vancouver, you plan to scale that back a bit?” Payne: “You heard right. I need to have a bit more disciple. I had 250 PIMS last year and only 40 minutes were from fights. Make no mistake, I love to fight and let my presence be known if needed but I took way too many minors with the Preds that cost the club in close games. I’ve matured and I don’t want to hurt the Wolves by being stupid. I can still be physical and hit and fight, but I am looking to curb the minors for @Frank. As of today, I’ve dropped 10 TPE in grit in an attempt to curb the minors with maybe more to come.” Reporter: “How do you feel about the current roster in Vancouver?” Payne: “Just wow. The team is full of true professionals and amazing talent. I mean just look at the roster. Dogwood Maple @dogwoodmaple, (future scoring champ) Henry Eagles @Greg_Di, Nico Pearce @Spartan , Oreo McFleury @JB123, FISTED ANALLY BY A CIRCUS MONKEY Analfist @STZ, and Wann Kerr @VattghernCZup front. There are some future Hall of Famers in that mix and more importantly some great people and teammates. On defense, look no further that Pierre Emile Bouchard @Gaikoku-hito. I mean between him and Jake Thunder @Thunder we're looking at the two best Dmen in the game. The new addition of Reinhard von Kongming @Kylrad and goalie, Brandt Fuht @Tate the wolves have a lot to be proud of. I will bust my ass to make them proud that they traded for me.” Reporter: Thank you 603 words Thunder, animal74, Spartan and 5 others 4 1 2 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/137262-payne-traded-to-vancouver/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaikoku-hito 2,135 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 If thing that jumped out to me is the fact that your where drafted 26th overall? One hell of steal if I am say so. And I love the answers about the team comes first as it seems that is the way of the Wolves; of course we will take awards but only if the team has been successful. As for that @Thunder guy, as long as one of us finishes ahead of him is assist and top defenseman voting than I will be happy!! LOL! Just joking as I don`t know @Thunder very well but it is great to hear you talking such regards and respect for him and myself. Cheers!! Now let us both be better behaved this season and put up some good points as we win a ton of games towards hopefully another Championship; this time together. P.S. Just looked at PIM as Bouchard took some stupid penalties so I thought I was leading the team. Nope, Payne leads in every category at the moment; okay I stretching it a bit but assists, points and yes, PIM!! LOL!! Great to have you on the team and I am extremely excited to see what we can do if both of us get going like the past two seasons.

The only reason @Scurvy would ever talk nice about Thunder is because he lowered his grit and is now afraid to fight Thunder. Dont be fooled by that jack booted thug of a teammate of yours. He’ll steal your skates, sticks, ah what am I kidding…. He’ll steal your lunch, your boyfriend, or your girlfriend too if he gets the chance. By going to Vancouver it puts him closer to better hospitals when Thunder crushes him. Vancouver is my new nemesis.

Outside BC Childrens, I don`t think I can name one that I would want to go to. Alberta has better Hosptials than BC as far as I am concerned. But I guess it is anything better than Davos has to offer. 1 hour ago, Thunder said: Vancouver is my new nemesis. Noted!! LOL!! Good thing you are European division and only play us four times, close together so you have enough time to recover your emotions from the damage we are going to cause. Hopefully for your sake, HC Davos is well with the play-off before the final six games of the season since we will try our best to eliminate you. If not I hope HC Davos makes the Finals against us so you will never recover from the crushing feeling of being swept in the finals!! LOL!!

Oh, Not looking good at the moment as you have picked me only for the Top Offensive D and I am off to a complete heater with 0 points in two games. Not even sure I have even a shot on net yet. Okay , that is too far of stretch but Bouchard is cold at the moment. But Payne, who you picked for everything else is doing okay.LOL!! I thought for a second that I had also picked you for some of my predictions but it looks like I went Voss & myself instead. I was thinking of given Payne more credit but all this talk about how he old and washed up so Warsaw needed to trade him; well that looks like bull at the moment!! LOL!

Scurvy 1,549 Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 Payne will slow down @Gaikoku-hito. He usually shits the bed for the first 20 or so games. Got lucky game 1-2. I did one TPA Recall for 10 grit but seeing his PIMS in the first game I might need to do a second 10 recall.

I know Bouchard is good one sim day and bad the next, repeat. No real consistency!! And I would wait a few sims to see really what we have this season as lines will change most likely every sim until Frank finds something he likes. I am also consider some changes to my build but I am holding off for a few more games before I am the changes. Will love to see you drop @Thunder the first time we play them!! LOL!! Wish we could increase one stat temporarily for a sim or game based on being rivals with a team or player!! LOL! Also we don`t play him until game 260 means it will be about mid-season before we have little fun!!
