How to win a VHLM cup and lots of money and women [1/2]

[Eudaldkp 160]

Before all of you come for my throat with the knifes, this is just a post to give some insight to new members or basically anyone that might be interested in what the thought process is behind the scenes of a VHLM team. 

 

So, what do you need in order to win a VHLM cup? A lot of assets mainly. The M works in a way where assets are super key, since every season we have a dispersal draft where every player that hasn't been drafted goes to another team, picks are essential if you want to win a cup. On top of that, every player that is over 200 TPE will be going up to the major league, and you rarely find players that stick with the team for more than one season. 

 

But assets aren't everything, you also need to pay a lot of attention to the new members. Surely, the active members rate per new members must suck, but every once in a while you can find a gem and if you can find them at the start of the season you will have in your hands a 150+ TPE player that you basically got for free. However, with 11 teams, the competition for free agents is harder than ever, and you must be quik and very active to snag those new players that keep joining in.

 

Okay, so, amass assets and recruit free agents, is that it? You could say so, but obviously there's more. You also need luck, and that is no joke. Your first round pick that was looking like a stud might have real life problems and go inactive. That goalie that you thought was for sure going to be the best goalie in the M for the season might get called up to the majors. Your high pick might be an idiot and get banned. There are so many things that can and will fuck up your season... that's why I mentioned the luckyness aspect. Not to talk about the randomness of StHS, and that in a 5 or 7 game series basically anything could happen.

 

And last, but not least, trading. Trading is essential for the M, since lots of assets come and go during the season and picks are traded almost weekly, you need to be in constant search of trade partners that might benefit your present or your future. It is not easy to sell your assets at the perfect moment to get the maximum value that you could, because the conditions of the season might not be the best for it. You may have a star center (whom next year is going to go up) in a tanking team, but you have to consider that if the other competing teams have also a star center, his price might not be what it would normally be. 

 

To close this article, I would like to give some insight into what I think the right steps are for winning an M championship. Firstly, you need to consider yours and the other teams assets. Based on that, you can choose which season you want to compete. Basically, get as many assets as you can for that season and work your ass to get good free agents. The season in which you choose to compete you go all in, it doesn't matter if you only have a 4th pick in the next season, as long as you win the championship it is all worth it. Bitches and money come next

Review:

 

Nice insight on what it takes to win the VHLM, which seems to boil down to luck. With the increased competitiveness of the league, it's essential for GMs to be constantly scouting and assessing their assets. There were a few basic grammatical mistakes but overall didn't affect the flow of the read. Add a title and a picture in there to bring the presentation of your article right up there. Otherwise, it was a fully enjoyable piece! Thanks for the read @Eudaldkp !
