For Patrick: Do you have my money? JK, (sort of, I'll get it eventually), what are your goals this season is a prodigy commissioner, both in Sim and out of Sim as a participant?

For Toaster: After you toast things, do you like to see them cut triangular or rectangular? What do you like to see your hard work topped with? Why don't you like it when forks get jabbed into you? Are you more of a jif or skippy fan?

1) Which has better branding? Patroites or Habs
2) If this is such a player focussed league, why is perch still in anchorage
3) Should Vancouver rebrand?
4) What do you think of Thunder Bay's blistering start? 4d chess move to get a high draft pick? Only Troy knows for sure....
5) Who is the bestest turtle?

1) Almost 3 weeks removed from our SHL draft, what team(s) do you feel had the strongest drafts? (Outside of Texas LOL)
2) With the growth the J has seen the last couple of seasons, do you think expansion is in order? Alternatively, do you think adding 4th lines is a possibility?
3) What would you recommend to users who want to get more involved in the league, but might be hesitant to do so?
4) Please rank your S82 classmates 1-96 based on their usernames

Sig by RainDelay

What's scarier, one giant bear-sized spider or like two hundred normal-sized spiders?

Which two J teams are surprising you the most?

Can be for good reasons or bad reasons.

Question for @Toaster : Who is your favorite teammate and why is it me? I'll hang up and listen.

Nevada and Thunder Bay are towards the bottom of the J right now despite being in a spot where they, in theory, should be able to take at least a step up this season,

HOW THE FUCK CAN WE STOP THE BLEEDING!?

You didn't ask for questions but I'm giving them anyway:
1) can we please have a public shaming of the teams who ruined Thunder Bay's perfect record?
2) If you were a gm of a team in a competitive window, would you trade a discord active but low TPE earner for a 425 with no discord presence?
3) I just found out that whalers used to take tortoises on their boats to eat while they hunted and killed whales. Once their boats were full of dead whale they would toss extra tortoises to drown. Given the level of historic violence to current players species, how can the whaler branding be justified?
4) answer Sandman question in full

Here's a hot take question:

Right now the J is full. Like very full with actives falling through waivers. We'll have about 50 people age out, and I know there's hope that with expansion, there will be more call-ups. But generally, the past few classes have been fairly large, perhaps more than the 50 or so call-ups. already scheduled

Do you think the J will remain full still next season?

My perspective:

Each SHL team will lose 3 players in expansion. In some cases, they were already planning and expecting to call up their s80s. So they're likely already prepared to lose a few slots then. Then there's multiple teams which currently have less than 3 prospects in total, some of which I don't think will get called up due to being recent picks. For Buffalo's perspective, we have expected s80 call-ups already, enough to, in theory fill most those slots taken (or all). Outside of them, the main prospects would be me, Wal Rus, and whoever we'd pick this draft. The most ready would be me, but in a position with only two slots and I'm hoping to finish my time in Nevada before going to Buffalo to ensure I'm at a higher TPE. Wal Rus would not be high enough in TPE to be ready, same with the latest draft picks. I can't speak for every team, but I don't think there would be more than 10. 

I think there will be some early call-ups regardless, but it may not be enough to open up space after the next class, even if it is a lighter class.
