3. Written, 3 TPE, Draft Kings (150 words min.)

Pick a draft class in the SHL that you believe had the most impact on the SHL. It can be a consensus pick, like S36, 31, or 53, or an off-the-board one (S41?). Explain your reasoning to why this draft class impacted the league; Could be in a good way, or a bad way.

I am going to go with the class of S50. Right now, S50 has 25 players active in the Simulation Hockey League. Of those 25, 19 are above the 1600 TPE mark. That is a ton of players that are still active in the class after roughly two in real life years. These players include Aron Hernadivic, Karl Krashwagen, and Ryan Shepard. These players are making big impacts in the league not only for their teams, but for their fantasy owners. Of all these players, six are in the top five TPE for their positions. Three are in to top five fantasy points for their positions'. Players in this draft class are able to maintain those high numbers even with them now entering their third season of regression. There is just nothing but time that can stop this draft class. I am a firm believer that these players will headline the fantasy market next season, finally taking over from the old guard.

4. Written, 3 TPE, Biopic (150 words min.)

You've been contacted by a big film studio who wants to center the next big hockey movie around your career so far! All you need to do is supply a 150+ word explanation about what will be key scenes of moments or games in your career, the cast, and a general timeline of the film as it follows you from team to team, junior to pro. This one is open ended so how you approach it is up to you!

The movie begins with a young Japanese boy watching hockey for the first time in Nikko, Japan. He is amazed by the player's speed and agility. He knew then that he wanted to become a player of this sport. There will next be a scene of the boy taking skating lessons at a young age and showing the look on his face when he finally grasps the concept. The next scene will be of the player in pads, earning his first shutout of a member of his junior team. The camera slowly begins to show the name on the back of his jersey, "Seteki". This movie is going to be a story of a Japanese goaltender that defied all odds and took the leap to the SMJHL. After signing a free agent deal, he backs up one of the best goaltenders in the league, Yanno Rosejac. After a year as a backup, his time comes to become the bone-a-fide starter for the Raptors. The season was a success but the team loses in the playoffs. That next offseason, he is traded to the Anaheim Outlaws, where he becomes the mentor for the next generation. The movie ends with Seteki coming on to the ice for his first SHL game as a San Francisco Pride member.

14. Written, 3 TPE, Upswing (150 words min.)

What team on the outside looking in do you believe will be the next to break into the playoffs? What team will be the next new team to break into the finals (other than the core 4 listed in the above task)? Who seems to be building and earning at a rate that they will be a scary team in the future? We have already seen some successful rebuilds in Texas, Toronto, and Tampa, and some unsuccessful ones as well. Who is on the right track?

The next title contender will be the San Francisco Pride. Their core is earning at a great pace and the team is young. The Pride only have two players in regression and the majority of the players are in the S55 and younger range. This on top of an active locker room, there is no reason to believe they would not continue to earn. If, for some reason players do start to fall off, there is a prospect pool of
five active prospects to fill the gaps. They have experience spread out across all positions, leaving no one spot to be a strong or weak area of the team composition. Their goalie situation is locked down with Nicolae Antonescu (S55) about to break 1600 TPE and Senji Seteki (S60) coming in to the league to be a full time backup next season. This team is definitely right on track to be a contender in the next few seasons and remain one for seasons to come.

19. Written, 3 TPE, Pills

Love it or hate it, that Pill PT (PT 2) was wild and may I say, genius. You've partnered up with the weird trench coat pill guy to design your own pills, with powers and drawbacks to sell to your fellow SHLers! How do you go about this, do you make really good pills to help your team? Trick Hamilton into taking some really shitty pills with the promise of incredible powers? Or do what I did and make a bunch of insane pills and watch the league go absolutely crazy trying to make sense of what the fuck I'm even talking about? Or just make a bunch of jelly beans?

As a firm believer in either anti-doping or everyone doing it, I would only make the pills if all players had to take one. If they all did not, I would stick to the jelly beans, I guess. I am not a fan of jelly beans and quite frankly, the world would be no better or worse without them. So assuming that every player has to take a pill, I would make one for each type of player, in each position group. I would make the classic speed vs skill pills for skaters. Either, they have all the skill in the world but as slower than a preschooler, or, they would be the fastest skater in the world, but can't handle a puck to save their life. For the more aggressive players, I would make a pill that makes it so you win all fights but, it makes you really not want to fight. For defensemen, there would be a pill that makes them amazing at blocking shots, but they can't quite figure out how to pass the puck or be effective on offense. Essentially, giving people what they want, while taking what they take for granted.

21. Written, 2 TPE, Feed my back (its hungry)

It's been 2 seasons now and I can always use constructive criticism. What have I done right regarding PTs? What have I done wrong? Was I doing something the wrong way and fixed it? Was I doing something the right way and fuck it up? Do I even deserve 8 mil a season? Any and all thoughts are welcome EXCEPT malicious posts. Do not attack me, or my work. If you have a problem with it, explain why. Don't just say it sucks and its stupid.

I think you have been doing a fine job at PTs. The choices are very nice for when I want to either spice up my day or just get the work done. I like how they seem to follow a same story but would not mind an option that is about something other than our hockey player's professional lives. I know there have been some, but more would be nice. I want to right about how Seteki got on the wrong flight back from Japan and ended up in Amsterdam or something crazy like that. Just something to shake it up a little.
