Miller Ranks Potential Destinations

[Beketov 9,103]

I would like to make something clear off the top. I don't usually write these things because it makes it seem like I wouldn't be willing to play for one team or another. Fact is, that's not the case. Even if I get drafted by the last team on this list I would still be more than willing to sign a contract and help out. This is simply how I feel right now in regards to where I would like to see Miller playing next season. So, without wasting anymore time (and since I typed this part last and shit is getting long) onto the rankings!

 

Number One

 Helsinki Titans

 

With half the first round picks in a very deep draft, the Titans have the possibility to build an impressively strong young core of players. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in being apart of that. Plus Helsinki and Quebec are the only two teams I've never played for in one way or another (never Davos but did when they were Amstel for example) so it could be cool to add another team to the list.

 

Number Two

 Cologne Express 

 

I really did enjoy my time with the Express with Chekhov and it would be interesting to go back there. In addition to that, the Express have Vlasis and my current VHLM teammate Tremblay coming up next season, I think it could be fun to play with those guys.

 

Number Three

 Riga Reign 

 

The few older members here might recall when I started performing well with Beketov, for those that don't, it's when I started playing for Mike in Vasteras. As far as I can recall I haven't played with him since and I would really like to again. The Reign look like they might be moving toward a younger team and I would enjoy being there for it.

 

Number Four

 Seattle Bears 

 

My reasoning for Seattle is very similar to my reasoning for Riga. It's been a long time since I've been a bear (at least with a player I've enjoyed) but when I was there with Beketov I had some of the best years (both in the sim and out) that I've ever had in the VHL. I would love to be able to regain that.

 

Number Five

 Calgary Wranglers 

 

Calgary comes in right in the middle for me, not because they are bad or undesirable, but more because I haven't looked into them quite enough. From what I can tell they are rebuilding though which is, in part, the kind of team I want to help out. Jumping onto a winning team is always great but it doesn't give the satisfaction of helping build a team up. I do think Calgary could actually be a good fit for me.

 

Number Six

 Davos Dynamo 

 

Starting the lower end of the list is Davos. I have nothing major against the team, which is why they aren't lower, I just have no major love for them either. Maybe it's just the grumpy old poster inside of me that remembers the days when Davos was kinda the sleazy team, finding loopholes in the rules and such. I put them at 6th because I've seen a lot of people fall in love with being on Davos and I'm plenty willing to give them a shot; they just don't fall above the curve.

 

Number Seven

 Toronto Legion 

 

I don't have any major issues with Toronto, after all my one good season with White was on the Legion. At the same time though, there isn't a huge draw for me. The team is strong and the players are nice but it just doesn't feel like they need that extra forward to help them out. I'm just not sure I would be a great fit on the Legion.

 

Number Eight

 Vasteras Iron Eagles

 

A list without Vasteras being at the bottom, how preposterous! In any case, I enjoyed the one time I was on Vasteras but just don't think the atmosphere would work for me now. I want to be able to be as active as I can be and you gotta have a certain kind of tough skin to play for Vasteras. I'm not sure the league's reaction to them wouldn't push me away.

 

Number Nine

 New York Americans

 

The Americans seem to fall under the same kind of logic that the Legion did. It's not that they are a bad team, quite the opposite is true. I just don't think I would fit in all that well with them which pushes me away a bit.

 

Number Ten

 Quebec City Meute

 

It's kinda funny, had I done one of these with Chekhov pre-draft I likely would have had Quebec at the top, yet here we are. With all due respect to Quebec I just don't see their direction right now. I think their push for excellence a few seasons ago left them a little crippled right now and things are trying to be figured out. Quebec needs players that can hop in and help with that. I have never been a VHL GM and I have no real interest in being one; therefore I don't think I would want to be counted on in that way. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, maybe I'm not. I just don't fully feel like Quebec is the place for me.

You're dead to me

[Beketov 9,103]

There were worse places for you to be ranked. Besides, as I said at the top, I wouldn't be against playing for anyone. You draft me, I'll be loyal.

[Molholt 2,185]

Victor decided it would be funny to leave me with no picks, so that's unlikely.

You're still dead to me

[Beketov 9,103]

I'd say trade to draft me first overall but historically speaking that hasn't gone well haha

Horrible GM, gotta leave your successor with 10 1sts to be considered good.

We'd love to rape have you
