You're put in charge of making the casino odds on the Cup winner for next season. Whom are you giving the best and the worst odds to, and what's your reasoning?

First off I expect to be paid for this when my work is blatantly ripped off for the casino next season. I will accept 1 hug as adequate compensation. I don't really understand how odds work, so I will simply list some of the top teams for next season.

1 - NOLA. That's right, the stars finally align and NOLA takes home the top odds
2 - Hamilton. Because they are Hamilton
3 - Manhattan. They are good and they should continue to be good next season
4 - NEW. I feel like they should be better than they have been?
5 - SFP - As long as they have Cleo they are virtually unstoppable
6 - Edmonton - They are still a top preforming team and they have good talent moving up their system
7 - WKP. That's right. WKP is playoff bound and the league is on notice

By now, you're probably familiar with the attributes on FHM, and you likely have some sense of what type of build you're going to be aiming for with your player. What one attribute are you going to focus on most? Of all the attributes in the game, what is your player going to strive to be the absolute best at? Why are you picking that specific attribute above all others?

When Karl was being formed he sucked. I mean, he still isn't great, but this is an opportunity for a rebirth! He managed a weak 4 points in his rookie SMJHL season, so to make himself feel better he started shooting testosterone, and hitting the gym. Slowly he turned into a little wrecking ball, and a little known fact is Miley Cyrus based her hit song off of Karl's play.
Well he is getting back to his roots and the style of play that made everyone fall in love with him. Checking, Hitting, Defensive awareness are going to be his forte. Best take this as a warning to the other teams, Karl is going to be a hard hitting, fast shutdown expert.

The Most Generic Prompt of All Time - what is your player looking forward to in the offseason? What are they planning on doing? Training? Relaxing? Testing free agency? Whatever it is, let us know!

Karl just returned from a relaxing week away at a resort. This season was a little long and physically demanding so some time away from everything did him well. He unwound. Read a book. Ate everything he was not allowed to eat by the team nutritionist, drank copious amounts of everything with an alcohol content, and worked on his bikini tan.

Later in the off season he's looking forward to heading back to Germany for a little bit of time as well to reconnect with family and old friends - being away has been tough on him especially with leaving Halifax for full time play in West Kendall this season. They have been extremely welcoming, but all the change has been gnawing at him. There are rumors about some major league structural change as well, so everything's piling on and building up to a big ball of stress.

On return to this side of the ocean, it's going to be back to the gym to prep for season 53!

The arenas in San Francisco and New York certainly don't need any gimmicks to get people into the stadium for the series, but the arenas want to make sure they're pulling out all the stops on the big stage. Help the concessions department of one of these two teams develop a new product, with marketing specifically pertaining to this finals series, to be sold at the arena during the finals. Describe the product and the marketing in 150 words or create a promotional poster showing the product, its name, the price, etc.

I am going to help marketing produce food for consumption for one teams fans based off the other team (not soylent green, the mascot). Now, unfortunately for San Fran I feel like eating Manhattan Beef is the easy road, so let's forge on ahead with our special custom made Lion Chilli, Burgers, and Hot Dogs made with 100% pure, ethically sourced, free range organic Lions. Now, we could add on sponsorships to help procure this, like maybe the Central Park Zoo? Or an Elephant Sanctuary.
There are a ton of options available to us as well for using other parts of the cat, for example: Turn the hide into expensive coats or mittens to keep your hands warm while facing the frozen pond. Or how about boots, then young, hip Manhattenites can literally walk on top of the Pride. Talk about the perfect New York disrespect.
The final piece to make this a fantastic promotion is Lion Bone Vuvuzela's (how the heck do you spell that?) - Remember the god awful buzzing horns from the South Africa world cup? Those, the city of New York will be buzzing with anticipation with these special Lion Horns!

Written, up to 5 TPE Pick up to 5 Challenge Cup related topics to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words to qualify.

Head GMs JayWhy and Grapehead have been GMing for a while, whereas Co GMs Luketd and DaftRaincloud are newer to management - which team's front office staff (including coaches) do you think will provide a strategic edge (lol as if such a thing exists in STHS) in this series?

Manhattan has been rocking a pretty evenly-distributed ice time for forwards (35-33-32) whereas San Francisco is going a bit more top-heavy (40-40-15). Which approach do you think is better for a fierce Challenge Cup series?

The Rage and the Pride have, in my opinion at least, two of the best logos in the entire SHL. Which team's logo do you like more and why?

What is your favorite player name on either of these two teams and why? (not favorite player/user, just focusing on their player name)

Would you rather: (a) a chainsaw lesson with JayWhy, (b) a private Gritty meet-and-greet for you and Luke, (c) an all-you-can-eat grape buffet experience with Grapehead, or (d) an hour session where DaftRaincloud shows you everything from his internet history?

1. I think that Manhattan has a slight edge, but as mentioned such a thing doesn't really exist. Just look at the fact that Manhattan hasn't been to the finals in my career and they have been very arguably one of the better teams consistently season after season, but continue to get the Simon screw.

2. I think San Frans heavier 2 line strategy works better with simon, but I wish durability was more of a factor over a series or even a game so that there could be debate over which is the way to go. It would also improve depth being a factor whereas right now you just want to play the big guns as much as possible. (64 Words)

3. Rage. It's unique, intimidating and the colors work very well. The pride logo I don't personally love. It is unique, but Manhattan's bull seems to jump out at you, whereas the Pride logo looks like a 2D drawing on paper. Might also just be that we play vs the Rage enough to develop a familiarity with them. (57 Words)

4. Ray Bork. It is the classic fantasy hockey play on name, and bonus points for selecting one of the best players to play in the NHL, but also using the full name. Runner ups are Reginald MacIntyre for how bloody regal it sounds. I feel like he sips tea with the Queen on a regular basis, and Scottey Fucking Crawfling because I love saying Scottey Fucking Crawfling (67 Words)

5. B OH GOD B! GIVE ME THE PRIVATE GRITTY MEETING WITH @LUKETD AND MYSELF (I also call him Gritty prime, and I can be the second for now). What an adventure that would be. We would do everything from shooting death lasers, eat hotdogs (not hotdog), win mascot races, allegedly punch children. It would be a wonderful day (56 Words)
