Task 2 (3 tpe - why isn't this shit worth 4 so we have to do less?)

If you're looking at Great Men as GM's in the SHL, there's a few guys who stick out in my mind far and above any other users. If you know me, you know that when I think of what the GM job entails, it's to keep players engaged in the league no matter what. As such, I think that the SMJHL is a far tougher job for a GM than an SHL GM will ever have. Because of that, guys like 7 and Trips instantly come to mind. However, I will say that just about every J GM deserves the Great Man award. The amount of risk that they take, and the time that they invest, in first gen players is huge. To keep the active guys interested after they're capped for a season and a half, to keep on the guys who might go inactive, and to keep trying to get the inactive guys to come back. That's dedication to the league, and to their teams. It's the hardest job in the league, and they don't get anywhere near enough respect.

Task 3 (3 tpe - why isn't this shit worth 4? cw sucks)

I feel like the draft that had Pris and Zach go 1 and 2 OA is definitely notable as a bust draft. Since I'm struggling to force myself through CW, I'm going to go into a tangent about my experiences in that draft. As Co of Minny at the time, with the 2oa pick (or was it 1? Does it matter?), we were set on drafting one of them. Then Hallsy comes in, and he wants the pick. He absolutely won't draft Pris or Zach, and after a lot of internal bullshit we finally agree to make the trade. Draft comes, Hamilton picks Pris and Zach as 1/2, or 2/1. That trade killed the league for me for a while, but it worked out because they both ended up going inactive and it didn't turn into the super draft that Hamilton wanted. One of the few times that Hammy didn't win. But hey, they're in the fucking finals again.

Task 18 (a measly 3 tpe)

With the recent mass exodus from the league, HO has decided that we can all have 5 players to try to keep the 20 team thing a real possibility. I'm going to have to be original with my names here, and go with Lefty, Righty, Backy, Backy Junior, and Stickers. They're all going to be defensemen, or defensepeople if you will, because defense wins championships. With the upcoming SHL draft, they've all spoken to scouts to make sure they end up on the same team. In reality, six teams have no management staff left because of the exodus, and the other teams are insistent that they aren't going to draft 1 of them, let alone all 5. So, I do the only rational thing that there is to do. I apply for the GM position every single team that has an opening. I apply for Co-GM spot of any team I don't get hired for. In the new SHL, though, I get a GM position. I draft my players, and that's it. Then I quickly go inactive, and the entire thing is for naught.

Task 20 (3... 3 tpe)

Screw your rules, I'm doing this one my way. I'm going to plug the best sim league to ever exist. Get On My Hockey League. People today don't know about the joy that was the GOMHL, so sit down and let me tell you about it. GOMHL was a very casual league, and it should absolutely come back. Weekly AC's were worth 8 tpe, and you could do a 200 word media about anything league or player related to net yourself 2 more tpe. That's 10 tpe a week for no real work. The league had a hard cap of 500 TPE, and your player was autoretired after like 5 or 6 seasons I think. That hard cap of 500 TPE made STHS really interesting, and while some meta's did exist, it really forced you to decide your build ahead of time. There was no weekly training, the money from contracts was used for equipment once a season but it was so expensive it wasn't worth it most of the time. Seasons took a couple of weeks because a lot more games were simmed every day. And, most importantly, with @Pris and @Slowpoke, we won the cup do do dododo
