The Manhattan Rage are not too surprised by having a surplus of income after two straight finals game 7 appearances. However, after two straight appearances and zero wins in a game 7 finals series, it's obvious that they just ran out of gas to finish the job, which makes the decision on what to spend the surplus on pretty easy: hyperbolic recovery chambers for the entire team. The team will experience full recovery after every game and take the ice every night like a fresh squad of T-1000s ready to take over the league. We'll reach the point where getting to the finals is no longer a welcome surprise, and instead be more of an expectation. Game 7s will be a thing of the past, as a fresh Rage squad will come out every night energized while other teams are starting to fade. Watch for Lev Lebedev to break all the records that he set and for the Rage to finally lift the cup.

A teams locker room and facilities have one purpose, and one purpose only: to get the absolute most out of each and every player and help them maximize their potential. In order to do that, you need to provide your players with an enviroment that they are both comfortable in and get challenged by, which can be a delicate balance to strike. You need state of the art facilities and amenities while not becoming to luxurious and indulgent, you need to provide your players with all kinds of different things they can do to try and find those few extra percentage points, without overwhelming them with options or them getting lost in dead ends and overthinking everything instead of focusing on the fundamentals that count the most at the end of the day. To do that, I think we should invest greatly into training and medical facilities off the ice to improve fitness and recovery while also proving extensive psychological assistance both to enhance players mental performance and to ensure their mental health is taking care of.

CREATIVE PROMPT: The first improvement made with the new money is to add a changing room between the locker room and the showers. In this room, players will be able to change from their game undershirt to their regular and do the same thing the other way around. It will mean they won’t have to way for the media to leave the room before they can actually remove their clothing to go take their shower. The next change will to give our equipment manager a significant budget for him to spend on everything he needs in terms of getting better equipment, improve our storage facilities and get better gear for when we pack the players equipment to go on the road. Another thing that would be improved is the players eating area. We will redo the entire area to give the player more space and redo the whole kitchen are to improve the team chef’s ability to make better and more diverse meals more efficiently.

Hockey Prompt:

As a Leafs fan, I have a hate/hate relationship with the salary cap. Obviously if there was no cap, a team like Toronto could spend as much as they wanted to get as many great players as they can. They have the financial capabilities that most teams don't so it would be a huge competitive advantage.

Having said that, I can see how that's not something the league wants. I think a cap is important to have, but I do wish the hard cap was replaced with a luxury tax system or something else that lets you go over the cap with some kind of detriment. There are a few ideas out there, like having one player not count against the cap or a luxury tax system, but I'm not sure the impact that each would have on the league. I'm hopeful they are at least researching different ways to adjust the current system. As much as it would be an advantage for Toronto without a cap, it's also not ideal that they put in a ton of work to be worth so much and not be able to use it in some way. I don't know the solution to be honest, but I'm sure there is something out there that can work for most teams.

Written Task: What upgrades and changes do you make to your team's locker room, lounge, fitness room, parking garage, whatever! Use your 3 million wisely in order to make the best facilities possible for your teammates. Are you upgrading to some fancy new future tech? Is there something old and rotten that you need to replace? Are you mad that your parking spot is too far from the ice surface? Talk about what you're changing and why! (150+ words)

Ryuuji Kawashima has only recently joined the Edmonton Blizzard, so he might not be the most entitled to call out anything about the facilities which might need a replacement. However since joining the team, there have been one or two things which have just bothered Kawashima. The first is the coffee machine in the locker room. Listen, Kawashima is not a big coffee snob, however this machine is either, broken 50% of the time or makes the most watered down coffee ever. So the first purchase would be a new fancy ass coffee machine, one that has all the options to make differnt kinds of coffee.

The second upgrade would be the massage room. After a tense game it is gone to be able to unwind a bit with a cheeky massage. However, the current massage room, which doubles a storage closet, just lacks the proper equipment. There are no massage tables, you just lay on the ground on some pillows, the masseuse.. is not even a person its just a goat that walks over your back. So Kawashima will be creating a proper massage room, with proper tables and replace the goat with a proper masseuse.

Miguel is spending $100k on the team and buying a mansion with the rest. That's ok, right? In all seriousness Miguel would put his money into a state of the art fitness and recovery center for the Aurora. Miguel has always been a fitness aficionado and he loves his free weights so there would be a first class weight room as part of it. Miguel loves to swim and its a great way to stay in shape so an Olympic sized swimming pool would be available for the players to keep their cardio up in. Plus have you seen what swimmers look like? Who doesn't want nice abs? For recovery, a nice sauna would be part of it to help those sore muscles relax. Finally, one thing that is overlooked for recovery is making sure you get plenty of sleep so some nice dark and quiet napping rooms would be available for the players to get a quick nap in between practices. After this, Miguel may never go home!
