Subject: Senior Canada National Team

That’s the worst game I’ve ever seen on PPM.

Thanks. I've only been in one that was worse. The game stats are gone, but the comments are still in the I.I forum for Oct 8,2019. I lost a NC game where my probability of winning was 99%.

Yeah, your string of bad luck in playoffs this season was something on its own, but this is the most unlikely game result I have seen. Sometimes we just need to brush it all under the rug and say "oh well...".

Yes, it's all history now. We're already well into prep for next season. Onward and upwards!!

Team Canada announces the retirement of Steve Cochran from the National team.
With an experience factor of 655, he is the most outstanding player this country has ever had!!
He has perennially been an invaluable member of the team.
His numbers can be seen at the site below.
Check them out!! They are amazing!!

Thank you Steve

Wow. 655 exp.

My highest is below 200 (I have a young team in my defense).

I wonder how much money he can still fetch. Probably a decent amount.

I think you will find out in about 39 hours!!??

He was the top player in PPM at one point.

So, around 30M was the answer. It was actually the upper-end of what I was willing to do, but of course I forgot to log in around that time.

Since he went near my upper limit though, it is likely I wouldn't have gotten him.

Still, he would have been an amazing mentor for my young team.

That’s pretty crazy!

Would you be interested in Ducharme? Slightly higher remaining OR, 225 Exp (which is still nothing to spit at). I just renewed his contract at 32 (well, it resets in 4 days), but I have no more use for him as it turns out (I have like 12 centers, 6-7 of which are about at the same skill level). If you are, let me know what time you'd prefer to bid and how much you're willing to pay, and I'll put him up on the market specially for you

Ducharme is a nice player, but he would go for more than I am willing to pay for sure. I was interested in Cochran as a cheap stop-gap while my younger centermen grow and as an experiment on the impact of experience, but I wouldn't pay too much for any player since my team is not ready for prime yet anyway. Still a few seasons away from that.

The UFA offer I had to pay was less than 7M, so if you were willing to put 30M for Cochrane, I think you can afford Ducharme, lol. I doubt he would go for much more than 10M, and that's if I get lucky.

Anyways, he's going up for sale as soon as I can list him, so if you're on the fence and would like a specific end time, just let me know.

We'll see. I think your undervalue how much money is available in the system now. A 2500 player, even in decline, should fetch over 20M. We'll see. I will make a bid on him, but don't make a end date for me. I constantly forget to make my bids anyway.

Thanks to all who have supported me again in the recent election! It's getting a little tougher, for now, to be competitive. The elite players of the powerhouse teams (Mighty Oil, Sanguinnaires, & Montreal Sasquatch) of the past are gone from the national team. We begin a new era, which shows promise, with 12 teams in Div.I (especially Royal City Redshift & The Manadalorians) who have elite training, managers, and academies, along with 10 teams in Div.II who have the same. The junior teams are getting better each season. We look forward to improving our world standing as our player base improves each season. Thanks again for your efforts in player training and arena development!
