3. There’s a lot of good auction items list year, and theres a couple I want to win. First is Kelowna Ice. For my last season in Kelowna, I would love to give us piss ice in order to show the rest of the J that we mean pissness. Second is the sig by Micro. I’ve been meaning to try and find a new sig for Jennifer, particularly a Calgary one to go with my Jove KEL one. Finally, the Winnipeg goal horn. I always like winning the goal horn ones so I can mess with people (Giving Edmonton Pink Venom and Short Kings Anthem was pretty good). I don’t know how I would mess with Ace and Winnipeg yet but I can cook something up. (125 words, +2)

13. I think overall pipelines aren’t as strong as they used to be, and I think there’s benefits to both spreading out the team you acquire your prospects from and drafting from the same team to bring friends to the same spot. Some pipleines back in the day used to be really egregious. NL to CHI, ANC to HAM/PHI, and CAR to LAP were all really strong pipelines and I know NL to CHI in particular became a pretty big meme for anyone who was on Newfoundland. But as GM’s in both the SHL and the J have shifted you can see from the data that there are only a couple strong pipelines that remain. CHI has kept a bit of the NL pipeline but also added NBB due largely to Schwarz and Isa’s influence. STL to MIN made a lot of sense due to Jay, and it will be curious to see if a lot of STL players go to TEX now. VAN to HAM with Aleks being former VAN GM and now current HAM cox, and then ANC to PHI. But overall I think its good to have a mix, of certain teams pulling from strong J connections, and other teams being more open and branching out across J teams for their prospects. (214 words, +4)
