Admin Victor 10,935 Posted April 3, 2015 Admin Share Posted April 3, 2015 So with that, Matt Bentley has played his last VHL regular season game. The fight for a fourth championship beckons but it's been a pretty decent run regardless. The usual high personal expectations mixed in with a healthy dose of Conner Low made parts of the career a bit meh but the first four seasons were alright when I knew he'd be average and these last two have been nice too. After all, I did make a defenceman for the good of Davos and Davos was good. Don't think I'll be revisiting defence in the foreseeable future but I would recommend the position to anyone who wants to leave their mark on VHL history. It's a pretty shallow pool; if Matt Bentley can be a top 10-15 all-time defenceman then so can you! I shall see you with my recreate at the S43 trade deadline.

BOOM 8,740 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Good stuff. Not the retirement....the career. Pleasure playing alongside you, albeit briefly. I'd wish you luck with the new player....but you don't need it. Caillean and Victor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgins 3,618 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Too bad you won a Labatte trophy, you could have really went down in history with some of the greatest defensemen if you didn't... Better luck next time. diamond_ace and Victor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowboyinAmerica 2,887 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I remember when Bentley was created and thinking, "Damn, there goes my chances at best defenseman." Olsen's career didn't exactly turn out that way, but a pleasure competing with you for a bit nonetheless. Victor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Tortorella 2,653 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Was a scrub, but not a scrubby scrub. Congrats on the career. S44 draft IMO. Victor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boubabi 4,725 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 But why retiring now if you want to recreate only at the S43 deadline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboyinAmerica 2,887 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 But why retiring now if you want to recreate only at the S43 deadline? Because he's S35 and doesn't have a choice. (Unless he also wants to fight the power.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Victor 10,935 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Admin Share Posted April 3, 2015 I did this at the end of Lars Berger's career in S24 (then with the added bonus of playing in an additional World Cup) before creating Chershenko at S25 deadline. Jardy was so impressed that he did likewise between CAL G and Young. Now we have colluded to do so simultaneously. It's a nice refreshing break and is worth it. Start stacking up those S45 picks.

(Unless he also wants to fight the power.)no, I get that, but he could be still gaining tpe during the playoff. I guess there's nothing special this off season but he could have been part in a super cup or a WC Edited April 3, 2015 by boubabi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
