1. As Vrzala goes on longer and longer into his years unfortunately the expectations are slowly going lower and lower. At this stage, Vrzala realizes his role on the team and is taking strides in order to fulfill his job on the team with helping the newer talent come up and surpass him on the line. He's not overjoyed with his season all though he has transitioned to score more goals it is not what he signed up for, but it is what is being asked of him. Next season will be a pretty rough one as far as Vrzala knows, he full expects to give his everything he can on the ice, however the skill is starting to fade from these bones and as a player who wants nothing more than to win with his team it can only be seen as frustrating. This really all stems from the fact that Vrzala is old as hell now.

2.The expansion draft was one major point of concern for Vrzala. Starting with the fear that he would be left on the open and possibly taken from his new home in Calgary would be something that was stuck in his mind whenever there were issues with his on ice performance. The coaching staff and GM were all more than positive and supportive of Vrzala through this time, built by his own personal calculations there would be no real reason to protect him as there was too much upcoming talent in the system that is more valuable for sustaining the cup window. Outside of those fears, Vrzala is excited to get to play in new cities and see the rest of these beautiful places. He expects the competition to be tough but more or less is excited to be part of the fun and games and hopes to see some traditions form and start during these early years.

3.Let me introduce you to this little known country of Czechia. Czechia is a hockey capital in the world of the sport and there are more and more famous players coming from that country. The capital of the country is the best spot for the possible expansion and the location is perfect for the eastern european countries to be able to travel into the city set up and get to see some of the best talent on that side of the globe. With a full supporting of the Czechia team from the IIHF, there is no reason for the league not to expand to the greatest country on Earth.

4.The Toronto team really stands out to me. Look they might not have been the best team on the ice in terms of actuarial product that they put on the ice. But what is more important than winning? Memes. Toronto top to bottom is world renown throughout the league for the memes that it produces on the ice. The forwards? Memes. The Defensive Core? Memes. Winning? That's the biggest meme that they can field and the best thing you can ask for them to do. Nothing is more important than the memes and that's the one thing we can constantly rely on Toronto for!

5. The IIHF is the best competition other than the finals and the playoffs, that any sport can produce. With that, and the aforementioned above that comes from the need of an interactive international team in the form of Czechia. There is no international squad that wants it more or that is hungrier than the Czechs. The Czechs are one of the scrappiest and one of the best looking teams on the ice. They have scoring depth, a stud defensive core and a goaltender to lock it down. They are pretty angry from one of the last one of these international tournaments and they are coming back to this year with full guns blazing. With the big names like Thompson, Vent and all the young guns that you can think of, the talent is there and with the all star coaches behind the benches and figuring out the rosters, they are the team to watch.
