Task 1 - Trivia - 3 TPE

Verification: TDZ


Task 2 - GM - 3 TPE

I think one of the best recent GMs of the league has to be FuzzSHL. Working with him personally in Los Angeles as well as seeing the hard work he put into juniors for Montreal/Carolina when he took over there is an inspiration for anyone wanting to GM. After taking over Montreal in juniors he was able to win a cup miraculously with a decimated and dead team. He took a locker room that was absolutely barren of life, literally no posts made in literal months before he got the job, and transformed it into one of the most active locker rooms in the league overall with the swap to Carolina and the subsequent drafting prowess. He has also taken Los Angeles from a middling team and continuously made us better as we continue to get better on our hunt for that elusive cup. Fresh off a game 6 loss to Texas in the western conference finals we are definitely trending in the right way because of him.

Task 6 - grab bag - 4TPE

a. I think it depends on the era of STHS comparatively too. If it is an STHS win pre broken sim with the meta then I would 100% take the STHS win over current FHM, even with the slight randomness. I would take current FHM over broken STHS though and I would probably take future cup wins over everything if we do find something to help break up the meta issue.

b. More than likely we would have seen the same final 4 as last year though Los Angeles did put up a slight fight against Texas and we were testing about 50/50 against Chicago too. Knowing how FHM goes it would have ended up the same way regardless though and the only teams who had a chance to break it up did in LAP and BAP.

c. I mean ideally Hamilton would have just been in Toronto anyways since that might as well be where they are now. If I had to choose a city though I would choose a city that has absolutely no controversy around it with how their sports teams behave and are 100% completely honest. Hello Houston Steelhawks.

d. I think the best player to not make the final has to be Ryuuji Minamino. They set the record for points this past season and had an absolutely crazy season to only fall short in the playoffs against some strong teams. It is definitely a shame to think what they could have done in the finals against a Hamilton team to just get swept anyways.

Task 13 - parity - 3 TPE

I think parity is definitely a problem the past few seasons and has been for a a bit now however I'm not sure if there is a problem with parity going forward or not. With the upcoming harsher regression changes it's tough to know how the league is going to really look until the next season really gets here and all the moves have gotten into place. A lot of teams are about to get annihilated in regression and on top of that the salary cap has been creeping up on quite a few teams as well. I think the next 2-3 seasons will be huge tells on how the parity issue is going to be in the league going forward and if we're still in the same spot come, season 65 or so, then there is definitely still an issue that hasn't been fixed at all. So yea there's a problem not but hopefully this is it.

Task 19 - groundhog day - 3 TPE

I think if I went back an entire season to redo the entire S61 and on again there would 100% be some changes made. I would be able to better predict the outcome of Los Angeles and some potential moves to make ahead of time, especially with the regression changes coming that I would then know about. I would fix my casino bets and also just bet in general for S61 because I didn't. I would also go back and change all my predictions for max TPE as well as fantasy so I could get those top payouts in that. I would know as the recruitment team head at the time which areas would work well and which wouldn't so I could better hone my plan of attack better in that situation. I would also know now that I would be in J's head office so know better about what to prepare myself for in that situation as well to help better the league. So overall it would be a mix of me helping the league where I can and definitely padding that bank account and TPE totals as much as possible.
