A Negotiator- My negotiator would be @JayWhy. The man is able to keep players for long term and also bring in key free agents that he needs. JayWhy is great at getting good trades for the team and is able to easily manage the roster and get the key pieces that a team needs.

A Strategist- Obviously I am going to take @39alaska39. He has been running the lines for Manhattan for the past few seasons and has been doing a kickass job on it. He knows what it takes to win a cup and is able to adapt very well to other teams strategies.

A Scout- I am taking @luketd. Luke is so good at finding prospects from any team. Everyone knows him since he is so active on the site which helps because Luke is in almost every locker room. Luke knows what it takes to find a good prospect. It's not always about how much tpe but also who the person is and would they fit in the team well.

A Clubhouse leader- I am taking @Inf1d3l. Infidel is always super active in the locker room. He is so kind to everyone he meets and is also a great teacher for the younger players. He also streams games for everyone to watch and it helps bring the team closer as they all have a good time playing together.

Excuse me while I re-live the triple-cup-winning glory days of the New England Wolfpack and assemble a front office out of (a few of) those people, to be honest.

Hands down Eggy is the person that comes to mind as the negotiator. I've never had direct experience with anyone as good at attracting people to come play for the team for the right price for both parties - and for good reason, given all those cups.

Strategist is more difficult in this era of FHM bc I haven't got a fucking clue how it works or who's good at it. I'll give it to Storm tho bc this is a nostalgia FO.

Scout I give to lil, may she rest in peace free of this hellsite, as she did much recruiting work and also recruited me.

Clubhouse leader I think prettyburn is most suited to hands down. One of my favourite captains I've ever had - definitely fits the bill with regard to being inspiring in good times and in bad.

I can definitely tell you which front office position I wouldn't be good at and that's strategist. Based solely on the performance of my player, it's clearly obvious that I know nothing about the new sim engine and don't have the time or the inclination to learn, honestly. I probably wouldn't be a good scout either, because that requires spending time on the site, paying attention to people's activity levels and their builds, etc. And like I said, no time and no inclination. Working 60 hours a week in quarantine doesn't exactly make a girl wanna pick up a fun fake hockey job on the side. There's a ton of people on the pride better suited to all of these positions, but I'm not that keen on listing them all out and matching them with jobs. Create a front office Backseat Driver position and I'm totally in. I'll just sit there, watch the action, reap the benefits of someone else's hard work and/or complain when someone else gets it wrong.

A negotiator - I would choose @JKortesi81 for the negotiator spot because he's fantastic at convincing people to do things that they didn't even know they wanted to do. We unleashed him on free agents anytime we needed them in Calgary during his time here and he always delivered. All I had to to was slide in to wrap it up. Joe is also great in trade negotiations although I know his tactics because I taught them to him so he hasn't been able to get anything over on me despite his best efforts.

A strategist - Since we're in FHM now I'll go with @Mook because he's proven he has a great understanding of FHM builds and strategies. We talked a lot in the off-season and he taught me a few things (Sorry Wasty). Once a Dragon always a Dragon. Mook has also proved to be a great coach in LA already this season with the best record in the west through 26 games. I'd be more than comfortable with him coaching my team.

A scout - @Weretarantula has proven to be great scout for us over the years and has been a huge help in scouting and draft preparation. He has a great personality and really knows how to connect with members. He also has an excellent gut instinct of who'd be a good fit on our room and as a locker room leader he knows what we're looking for. He's also great at keeping the draftees involved and supports their development.

A clubhouse leader - This is easily @~~Mike Izzy~~ who already does this on a daily basis. He has an incredible positive and fun way about him that brings a team together like nothing I have seen before. We've been benefiting from this for years and now as co-gm he's taken it to another level. Always positive, always helping our players succeed and supporting them. He was a great team captain for us for years and is a born leader.

Markus is currently acting as an amateur scout for the Newfoundland Berserkers (R.I.P. Lions), and has been since - well, pretty much since he left Lethbridge to join Minnesota. He's still roaming North America, keeping an eye on what's going on near Minneapolis-St. Paul and elsewhere. The travel and the long hours spent at the rink felt tedious at first, but it gave him some appreciation for the different goaltending styles there can be. It has reaped its rewards - from great scouting done by @Carpy48, @"NeonLime" and myself, as well as great persuasion and draft day acquisitions from GMs @JNH and @SDCore, the Zerkers are exhibiting their furor, by being one of the stingiest teams in the SMJHL - despite depending on a rotation of two 17 year old goaltenders! This team is poised for a very deep run at the Four Star Cup, a la Montréal Militia of season 50 - at least, that's what we're hoping for. But this Detroit juggernaut...

This was a really hard one to get started but I think I got it down. For my front office team, I would assemble the best possible squad there is. AVENGERS ASSEMBLE.

A negotiator - @gurbs This one was a hard one but the possibility of being a GM has always been really intriguing to me. I think it would be a great challenge but after a few seasons, I think we could build a solid squad together.

A strategist – @ml002 who else than God Emperor ML? I think ML is doing a great job in Toronto and with what we were trying to build here. It’s going to be a process but I think ML would be perfect to my management team.

A scout - @Carpy48 consistently is facing 50+ shots per game… (sorry Carpy) so else would be better to be our scout than our best player who faces the other team’s best players.
