Special thanks to @Da Trifecta for the questions. 

[Devise 4,475]

This was a good listen. You nailed it on the head regarding SHL vs VHL in a few cases there at the end. Especially about just GMing, and building through the draft versus building other ways. I think there certainly is some getting used to how focused the VHL experience is versus some of the more balanced, realistic approaches to sim leagues. Especially for members who have experience other places, how we do things certainly can throw some off at first. But your a classic example of someone who found his groove here and is now one of our better most consistent members. 

 

The mock had me laughing. Not just because your pre draft research had you making wild picks. But also because with the capacity for trades, and even with so many wild card GM's out here realistically even some of your predictions, such as King falling, are not that outlandish. Although you had him going to Quebec who has two other goalies, but hey @Frank makes wild choices. We all know this. I think the "all over the board" nature of some of the predictions is really indicative of how interesting of a first round we have. It's certainly not as by the numbers as most would think, as after I think the agreed Ironside first overall there is a lot of questions. With Seattle rebuilding that also makes things interesting. 54 has a real "shake up" feel going into that I think is probably going to be good for the league. Yeah Stockholm and Helsinki can be considered carryovers but they are really just getting started. A lot of young up and coming teams next season and a lot of options in terms of player movement, draft as well. Really only downside is a smaller FA market, but Holik could easily shake a team up heading there. Some good possibilities heading into the off-season, I'm interested to see how it all plays out. 

 

I should probably give you three paragraphs of thoughts since that is my thing and I'm already this far in. I really appreciated some of the in depth role play talk. I realize we all kind of do our own things here but it's good to look around and see others (and I know it's not just you and me) who put a stupid amount of thought into their character builds/ideas. Even backstories, whatever, we have a good healthy amount of dumb fun that goes on here around that stuff and everyone is kind of always doing their own thing and I have always dug that. It's not just about stats a lot of the time, it's about narrative. Anyway I'll try to shoot you some questions for next weeks, I've been listening to this show when I can and always enjoyed your editions. Sadly with acquiring a new roomate I've had to adjust my schedules and that is why my comments/questions have dropped a bit here, so apologies for that. Gotta support the casts yo!

Haven't listened in a a while. Thought I would give it a go after a hiatus, hoping for old school Asian talk and low and behold 12 minutes in

Thanks for the feedback. The mock was definitely me just swinging wildly, flailing around as I did very little research on it, and frankly didn't have an order planned until I got to the point of talking about each individual pick. So yeah, very crazy mock, I'm sure. 

[ASIANBOUBABI 173]

Probably a accurate draft.
