12. Milestones, up to 3 TPE

Milestones are folded in with CW. So just link your Milestone claim as task 12 for up to 3 TPE towards your 16 total.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post your claim in the milestones thread for tpe earned per stat, and then link that post in your CW submission. This is done because the person who grades CW will be a different person than double-checks milestones.

2. Written, 3 TPE, GM stands for Great Man (150 words min.)

There have been some good and some bad GMs in SHL history. (Mostly bad) Pick a GM you think was outstanding and explain why you think they were one of the better GMs in SHL history. Point to trades/signings/trophy wins/locker rooms to support your claim.

I want to say that Trella has been an outstanding GM for the Tampa Bay Barracuda - not only did he get a team to go 0 and 50 for a season in order to tank for the best draft picks, he then traded away draft picks to bring in players who might not have been available to Tampa Bay in order to accelerate their window. In fact, the only issue right now with the Tampa Bay Barracuda is that their peak is at the same time as many other teams such as the Baltimore Platoon, and is about to be kneecapped by head office taking away TPE from their players using the dreaded regression change method. But I am sure with the 1st overall pick in their pocket from an unexpected trade with New Orleans that Trella can still be a great GM for the Barracuda – wait what he’s stepping down? Well that was unexpected.

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

There are a lot of "could-have-been" draft picks in the SHL, but let's have some fun thinking about someone that busted hard. Write about their potential and where they were picked, and how that franchise could look *if* they had in fact panned out.

I want to say that one of the biggest draft busts would be that of Bradley Barkov, who was on pace to be a top tier defender in the S53 class before dropping off the map. He nearly broke 1000 TPE which is a significant barrier, and was a valued member of that class. If only he had stuck around, the two natural defencemen (discounting William Hartmann who converted to defence) at the top, Jukka Timonen and Magnus Liljestrom, would have had a third join them in their club. Also, Finland would have greatly appreciated having a S53 player hitting their peak right about now in order to bolster their IIHF squad. Barkov was picked in the first round by Calgary, with the 9th overall pick. There were many other players behind him who have hit that 2000 TPE mark, and if only Barkov could have joined them. Calgary would have had a franchise defender to replace Brennan Kennedy Jr.

15. Written, 2 TPE, The yearly IIHF task (100 words min.)

Write your predictions for this year's IIHF tournament or WJC if you care about that more. Will there be surprises? Will any players make their country proud? Who's gonna suck? Be bold!

What have I done to deserve the hell that is this year's IIHF? I did my best as IIHF commissioner to get everyone excited and joining into the fray, but FHM decides to shit the bed and make it so certain teams couldn’t upload. Then the schedule is revealed to be fucked, requiring a pause and the quick simming of so many games in order to get back to where we are. At this rate all I want is for a quick conclusion and then a lot of eggnog and rum combinations for Christmas so I can drown my sorrows. As to who wins I don’t know.

21. Written, 2 TPE, No take backs 100 words min

HO didn't feel like making a job posting for PT Director so they just put you in charge of picking the new one. So elect a new PT director, tag them, and explain why you think they'd be a great fit for the job. Or just someone you want to torture.

I think Brickwall35 would be a great PT director because he’s new to the league, young, motivated and not yet burnt out unlike the rest of us salty old bastards. He still has that youthful glow in his cheeks, and the drive to do things. Whereas the rest of the choices are old and tired, and have no fresh ideas. It’s time we forced people to do things that they didn’t want, like write boring stories about their so-so hockey careers, not interesting linked thematically consistent postings that could be written as a giant media piece for fun. Not that anyone has time now that COVID is a daily thing.
