My Random VHL Thoughts - S68 - Part 4

[Fire Tortorella 2,653]

• For starters...I missed doing a vhl.com article last week for possibly the first time with Smitty, not including weeks where I used a full free week. Just wasn't really feeling it last week, and I'm getting to the point where I don't need the TPE as much to improve my player (although I still could), but as banking for eventual regression.
• Davos has been playing strong the past couple of weeks. Up to third in the division, aka third in the conference, aka third in the VHL. Such a weird season in term of the standings. Have to imagine things stabilize in the next couple of seasons and this is just an outlier.
• Smitty is comfortably in first place for points scored right now. Going into the season, I would have been happy with a Valiq trophy, but pretty sure I should be getting the top defenseman trophy, the name of which is escaping me right now...it's almost like I've never won a trophy for one of my players before!
• Don't have any stats to back this up, but the league seems to be stabilizing in terms of number of members. From what I understand the VHLM is full again, but it doesn't seem like it's overcrowded like it has been the past couple of seasons. Most likely the result of us slowing down on reddit recruitment.

I'd have to disagree here; we've got a few full teams of players where nobody or almost nobody is active. As I understand it, the last expansion was so big simply so we wouldn't have to expand again in the future, which is a good thing to me as I was worried for a bit that we were getting a bit too volatile.

 

I'd say there's definitely some room for more members without expanding (at least at the VHLM level), but I like the fact that our numbers are finally stable for, really, the first time since I joined the league.
