First and foremost, thanks for the questions.

 

1. What are your thoughts on the league so far?

 

I'm really impressed with the amount of effort that goes into running it. You guys are a decently organized bunch and the game has significantly more depth than I expected. Really excited to participate.

 

2. How did you come up with your name?

 

I've always liked the name Nikita. My last name is a sort of mishmash of Filatov and Shipachyov. I thought it looked hilariously unrealistic and had some flare.

 

3. Any teams you'd like to play for in the VHLM or VHL?

 

I'd be happy to play for anyone, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't pulling to spend some of my career in Ottawa and Davos. It fits well with my player.

 

4. What are your goals as a player?

 

To win a championship and score tons of goals.

 

5. Any suggestions as a new member to improve the site, make things easier, or better accommodate you?

 

Not really. The community resources are quite good and easy to find. Any questions I still have I will take to Discord tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for being so accommodating, though.

1. Was the VHLM draft experience a positive one - anything like you expected?

2. How many goals are you hoping to score on your rookie season in VHLM?

3.  What is your opinion on players celebrating wildly after scoring a goal?

4. Is the five hole the ultimate boss way to score against goalies on shootouts?

5. How would you feel if another talented goal scorer is put into the same line with you?

1. As a highly touted prospect in the draft class, is there anyone in particular you're looking to overtake in the rankings?

 

2. Do you hope to eventually play for your country in the World Cup?

 

3. What's the deadliest tool in your hockey arsenal?

 

4. Do you think you have what it takes to be a big presence in the big leagues?

 

5. After being passed over by the Lynx in the draft, what's going through your head as your first game against Ottawa approaches?
