2. GM stands for Great Man + 3 TPE

I don't have an in-depth knowledge of SHL history, so I'm working based on what I know and what I experienced in my time in the league so far. I personally think that Keygan was an awesome GM, first of all because Edmonton traded for me back when I wasn't a max earner and I had little motivation towards SHL and my experience in the Blizzard locker room has been incredible and gave me the boost I needed to become a max earner, so it wouldn't have happened without Keygan. The people he had in the locker room are all really friendly and help create a welcoming atmosphere that has yet to go away, even under new management. The basis of a good team were build by Keygan and the Blizzard is well built for a good future, but maybe that falls under Boom rather than Keygan, but anyway. I think that anyone who trades for me wins the negotiations so it tilted the scale in his favor for sure.

i wasn't around back when SHL was using the STHS sim engine, but it seems like the FHM sim engine favors only the same teams, so perhaps it's more impressive to win a cup during the STHS era rather than FHM. From what I've heard, STHS was more unpredictable in its results, so you have to factor that in a bit.

Hamilton is considered a classic sports city in Canada, but I'm really sure I know way, it has always eluded me. If you want to keep it in Canada and you don't want to change the divisions too much, I think a city like Halifax would be a good choice, because hockey is big in the Maritimes and Halifax is worthy of a franchise.

13: Parody + 3 TPE

I've been saying it for a while now (much like half of the user base or anyone not on a big four team), there's a parity issue in the SHL. It's crazy to think that ever since I joined the site in October 2020, there's been a grand total of four different teams in the Finals and that's over a span of five seasons. These dynasties have been around forever and something needs to change because rebuilds take too long and even then, it's no guarantee it's going to work. I think the regression changes could actually help in that regard, because won't be able to keep the same players for too long before regression hits, so hopefully more turnover in players means more turnover in top teams. Another thing that could help would be to change the sim engine. FHM6 as its limitations and it allows the GMs to take the hell out of their tactics, something that wouldn't be possible in say, FHM7 or FHM 8.

15: The yearly IIHF task + 2 TPE

I'm not really into IIHF or WJC, unless we're winning! Finland was pretty good last season, winning the Bronze medal, but we've lost some long time players, so that could potentially hurt our chances of winning another medal. However, we've added some new blood that could make an impact immediately. I think our chances of defending our bronze medal are good, but I don't think it's a guarantee, because there are a lot of good teams out there fighting for only three medals. We could also make a run for a gold or a silver medal, but I think the chances are slim because some teams are just too tough to beat, but I'm hoping for the best! Let's go Finland!
