Task 1:
Well this season was a really strange one for Matej. For some reason, it seemed like he didn’t do anything at all this year. It was like he took a leave of absence and has only recently returned to put in an outstanding performance at the WJC so far (who needs points when you can be an absolute corsi monster and play very very strong defense). Anaheim had their ups and downs which was definitely impacted Winters’ poor performances throughout the season and overall lack of effort with training and such. There’s a lot of room to improve for Winters in this next season and hopefully it’ll be something that the extra effort and renewed commitment to the game will fix. And with his overall improved performances, one has to assume that Anaheim will also be a lot stronger as Winters is expected to be one of the most important players for the team and a leader on the ice.
Task 5:
I don’t think I’ve ever really been in favor of everyone making the playoffs in the J, so I would be in favor of that changing. I know the argument has always been that it’s better for player development and member retention, but I think while maybe someone could say that it keeps someone a year longer, I think that if someone was going to quit because their team didn’t make the playoffs, then they’re definitely going to quit when their team misses the playoffs in the SHL. It’s really something that is only prolonging the inevitable. I just don’t think it’s that helpful overall.
Task 7:
There’s a zero percent chance that my career with Alex Winters would have gone worse if we had stayed on STHS. Winters 1 was an elite first line forward, first team all-star in the last season of STHS (and I didn’t even use the exploits), and then went to basically barely a replacement level player of third line ability despite having my peak TPE at the beginning of the FHM era. Add in the fact that the person that was supposed to be giving advice and helping with player builds very much did not for the team that I was on, was a full recipe for disaster with regards to Winters 1.0. I’m hoping that things will go better with my current player, Matej. It’s a little bit easier to have limited expectations as a defenseman as well, you can recognize your impact in other ways. There’s opportunities to do things like have a great corsi and that actually means more as a defenseman than a forward in my opinion.
Task 12:
C: My relationship with Buffalo has never been a particularly friendly one, something that I’m sure they know, and that’s overwhelmingly because of their on site demeanor. If things were different back when I joined the site who knows, maybe I love the Stampede, but that’s not what happened and that’s my biggest nitpick of them, attitude.
Task 13:
So all I know is that the Stampede won the Cup, which is annoying, and the only player that I know on the team is Aron Hernadivic. So he’s my pick for series MVP in the finals. Fish is a good dude most of the time, and I think that his player has been an excellent one for Buffalo over the years. It’s hard to argue with the long term overall performance, so if you really think about it, Buffalo could never have made the finals, much less won the Cup this season if it weren’t for Aron’s performances and he’s the real MVP.
Task 15:
Pumpkin
Task 16: 
Getting to keep the money from the heist would be nice, it would be great to have a huge stockpile of cash to build up my player’s savings. If I had to take Luke out in order to do so, I would be going all out on the expensive dinner. Pick something super nice, a great place to eat, and then with my plan fully enacted, I would heavily heavily heavily consider leaving him to foot the bill at the restaurant. What kind of heisting thief would I be if I didn’t pull it over on the big bad boss one more time by running away and footing the bill as I go back to my millions I stole?
