Well toronto has to offer a ton to any prospect out there! First of we have a great matur locker room! We have a lovely athmosphere even tough we can be chirpy from time to time! We are also in the race for being a contender with our current roster so signing with us opens a chance to win the cup!
Also you could get some great analytical analysis from Adam Barron whom loves to look at the analytical part of the game! Then there are drinking nights where you are able to drink with firstname lastname, squally, luffy reeeeechard and more!
Or step into the gaming fun in guild wars with rich, blitz, honks and juni even tough the later two aint on the team anymore!
You can also just talk to our always great and friendly tron. Or look at dog pictures from a ton of our members! Currently we even have some puppys in store!
And also we have one of the greatest galaxy brains there ever has bin in ml as a gm! And we have me who is decent
This PT is right on the edge of tampering, and I'm very tempted to post something gaudy. Daco only got suspended because his "Hey Buffalo prospects, come to Minnesota" post wasn't a PT. If I had less integrity, I might copy/paste his post here, but I don't really want to look for it, and white cornerback took it out of his sig (or stopped posting) so the text will stay comfortably in memory.
Another approach, is to tamper the one player that I'm currently allowed to tamper, which is @tommysalami. ex-co-GM and currently exposed oldhead on the roster. There is chatter of you potentially being left unprotected or potentially walking anyway, but i want to implore you to stay. I don't think you're going to find a better fit for yourself in a different locker room. No other franchise would tolerate your constant profanity. You sending naked mirror pics in the #selfies channel would get you kicked out of any other locker room. We think it's fun that you get drunk and berate the rookies at 3AM a few times a week, but other prospects might find it a turn-off. Your over-reliance on the @all tag can be annoying, especially late at night, when you just want to send the LR another picture of your poop, or a screenshot of a porno that you are enjoying. Most other locker rooms would not make a separate channel for you to link xrated videos that are on your playlist so that you don't have to save them on your bookmarks. constantly asking people to venmo you is also a trait of yours that other locker rooms might not be as welcoming to, especially after you doxxed the last person that said no to you.
We want you to be happy, tommy, but we sincerely believe your best chance at happiness is in EDM.
To the expansion GM's or Co's that read this, if you end up taking our baby, please be sympathetic to his needs.
Hamilton is one of the best SHL Franchises currently, we are winners and an organization that tries to win the challenge cup every season. If you want to win and want to have a player that will have career years or even win the scoring title. We have had the most challenge cups, most scoring titles in the past decade than every other team in the league. We want our players to have successful careers and to be winners at the end of the day. Winning at the end of the day is why we play hockey as it makes the sport fun to play. Losing sucks and we really don't tolerate losing for the most part but I know you can't go 12-0 in the playoffs or 63-0 in the regular season. Theres ebbs and flows to the sport. But at the end of the day if you want a fun locker room that wins and helps your player to be successful. Hamilton is the place to be.
The Toronto North Stars have built a strong, competitive team with a good pipeline of young players still coming up. Plus, anyone who signs here over the other Great Lakes teams instantly becomes a fan (and locker room) favorite. You would be joining the worst division to play in in the entire game. So much so that it can ruin your enjoyment of the league. But hey! It might not be like that forever! So sign a nice long term deal with Canada's favorite team (and city) and solidify yourself in the most gruesome, intense schedule the league has to offer. Constantly worrying about matchups and who other teams are playing against. Every day is exciting. The city itself is fantastic and the people are... people. The fans are die hard and borderline insane. The Toronto media is famously forgiving to newly acquired players, so it will be easy from that perspective. Come on down (or more likely, up) to Toronto, where all of your wildest dreams probably stay that way. Great locker room though.
The city of Buffalo is always quite crazy about their hockey team. So it would come to no surprised that Buffalo sports fan would be quite welcoming to any Free Agent. Buffalo should also lose some existing roster players which means that there should be a bit of money and roster spots opening up for potential free agents to get a shot at the elusive challenge cup if they were to join the Buffalo Stampede. Considering Buffalo recently acquired Rex Kirkby there will be a defender spot opening up which could be filled by that free agent defender so Buffalo wouldn't have to call up any of their S58 defender prospects. Also how could one not mention the food the city of Buffalo is quite known for: gud ol Buffalo Wild Wings. You won't find more authentic ones than here. The canadian border also isn't far if one would have a need to go up to the North.
Thank you all for the amazing sigs & player cards

Well being the newly minted general managers of one of those expansion franchises I will be looking to free agency to potentially bolster the team on top of what ever we end up with from the expansion draft. While being obviously biased I think that a brand new team is a great opportunity to many players around the league. Whether it is someone wanting to be part of a founding core who will go down in the history books of the team. Maybe a young player who wants a shot at more ice time that more established teams are not able to offer just yet or on the other hand it could be a regressing player like mine who is not quite ready to move down the lines and maybe wants one last shot at winning awards. Money is of course a deciding factor for some people and I am sure that most teams should have a little bit more lying around now that the budget pool has another $150 million in it.

I think that any free agent pitch to the Manhattan Rage would start with the location. Not only is New York City, and specifically Manhattan, one of the most prestigious places to live in the word, but as a sports market, not many cities can offer the possibilities and exposure that NYC has. Just look at the NHL, despite the Rangers being a mediocre and irrelevant team for so long (sorry corey), they're still estimated to be the richest NHL franchise at 1.65 billion dollars. This means that for players there's so many more opportunities to make money as a pro aside from their contract. There's endless marketing and endorsement avenues, and we have more money than any other team to keep our staff and facilities at the highest level. In terms of the team, it's a relaxed atmosphere and everyone gets along with each other, and the franchise has a winning history. The Rage won the Challenge Cup 7 seasons ago, and are one of only 2 non-great lakes teams to win the cup in what season like a hundred seasons.
Is playing against the great lakes bumming you out? Ever considered a life of crime but weren't sure where to start? Are you a fan of turtles?
WELL THEN THE CHICAGO SYNDICATE ARE FOR YOU.
This (former) Great Lakes team boasts a fantastic location for those wanting to enjoy the scenery of the Lakes without being beaten up by the other monsters that live in it. Now being relocated (hopefully) to the Western Conference, you can find yourself getting about as far away from the Great Lakes division while still staying right next to them!
As well, despite what the name might claim, the Syndicate are incredibly public conscious and concerned about the ecosystem when it comes to turtles, having adopted crime turtles as their mascot. Slow and steady has already seen this fantastic organization win a Challenge Cup only a couple seasons ago.
As an increasingly diverse group we future multiple feeder pipelines from Kelowna, Newfoundland and most recently, Nevada.
When you think of hockey in the US one of the cities that instantly comes to mind is Boston. New England has a long history in the SHL and while they've recently had some rough luck, they are only a few seasons removed from being considered one of the best teams in the league. The future is very bright though, they have some top tier young players to go with some top tier prospects and some rock solid veterans including and All Star this season. This team is still a few seasons away from being legit contenders but if a player like your caliber decided to join then it would certainly speed up the process. We have some open spots at multiple positions so you would definitely fit in here and fill a need. If you want to get more involved in the league we've got members who have done a bunch of jobs in the league. We have 2 current SMJHL GMs, an International Federation Head, updaters, fantasy managers and more.
Rest In Peace Dangel

Chicago is a great city and the fact that we have @O4L should be more than enough to sell any free agent by itself. If not, we could leverage a few other things.
- We won the cup a couple years ago and we're still pretty good so there's definitely a chance of it happening again
- You have direct access to bully SD whenever you feel like it
- You get to see pictures of Korra
- You get to see pictures of Fancy
- You get to have a higher shooting percentage than 2K TPE Decent Mediocre Somewhat Alright Player Ryan Shepherd
- @Kylrad will send you test sims of your player doing incredibly well, and then you never do that well
- You get direct access to @Nhamlet and his big ol brain so you can run stupid ideas past him and really just waste his time
- Jess
- Also Jess
- JURT
- Mat Smith is the best goalie in the league and will continue to be. He's also a beautiful soul.
- Jess
- Once again, Jess
- Did I mention pictures of Fancy?
With expansion coming plenty of teams will be losing players and have spots needed to fill. For a while now everyone's known that the league is run by the great lakes, all finishing at the top of the league and winning every FHM cup but one, especially with the emergence of Toronto. The downside however of being on a great lakes team is having to play all the other one's and having the risk of missing the playoffs even while being a top team in the league. That however no longer needs to be a concern as with the new divisions you can get all the benefits of being on a great lakes team with none of the downsides by coming to the Chicago Syndicate and their new division and getting free stat padding opportunities and success without worrying about the other great lakes teams at all until probably the finals depending on the playoff format.
Honestly I don't think this is even needed for a team like the Buffalo Stampede as is because it's obvious we are the best team in the league but here goes. Why should you join Buffalo? Well firstly the city is incredible to live in. Buffalo is surrounded by some great suburbs for the family, offers tons of fun activities, and is filled to the brim with great people all around! That's not even mentioning what we have to offer here at the stampede! The stampede is operated by the best gm duo in the SHL of Wannabefinn and Tomen. Both of them have led this team to great continued success year in and year out with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Besides being able to field a talented cast of guys on the ice every season, they have also successfully created an incredible locker room environment.
