Ramblings of a Mad Hatter

[Mr_Hatter 1,608]

It's been a while since I've actually written anything from my perspective, so that's fun. The past season was another "success." We made it to the finals again, but this time fell short, and with a poor regular season and some annoying @Rayzor_7 heroics in the finals, I don't have anything to show for it other than playoff wins (nice to have, but not really that huge). I may sound disappointed, and I am to an extent, but I still had a wonderful time with the boys. I'm really looking forward to the future. This season will be interesting. It feels like a last hurrah; our forwards are on their last legs, I'm due to start depreciation soon, so this would be a wonderful time for me to have a breakout regular season. Yes, in my fifth year. No, I'm not bitter  . Really though, I'm not sure what to expect. I have half a mind to try and stick it out a full career with Moscow, force @Victor to give me a career contract with a NTC (not sure he'd accept), and try to set as high of a franchise wins record as I can. On the other hand, that would hurt a possible Moscow rebuild, and might stick me into a poorly performing team for my final seasons; so leaving eventually could be the best thing for both parties. Maybe I could win something else, give me a better shot at HOF (unlikely I think. I need to have a hell of a couple seasons here to end it). 

 

It really does feel like this is the season I am set up for though. A mid level team with some depth issues but high performing regardless, against a weaker conference, plus I am near the top of the TPA boards thanks to some depreciation and my earnings. I really might be able to make something happen. Looking ahead though, I am really happy with how our draft turned out (Both Moscow and Minnesota tbh). I think we grabbed a lot of pieces, and if they keep earning, maybe I can convince Victor to keep the ball rolling for a few more seasons. We'll see
