Also, i live in montreal, also changed my IG to razor.ramon_, didn’t like all the a’s, my cousin didn’t think i could convince people that was my name, i convinced many people.

Keith the Flames thrower has this (edited) question for you : What is the origin of his name?
Saif Answer: Which name are you talking about, Saif is what my parents named me, Sam is a simpler version of it, and Ramon is a joke i decided to take too far.
SL : Good enough for me!

When and how did you first find out about the SHL?
Sam Answer: I think my first Sim league i joined 20 years ago, then that league closed and i realized i was still facebook friends with Luc and asked him if he still played in around 2011, he referred me to this league, and i’ve been here since then, i also tired out of DHL and GVFHL but had to let those go, just as my life has been busier

You really not going to leave anything good for Blake for the expansion draft aren’t you?
Ramon Answer: There is James Neal.

Whats the real plan in Washington El Capital (love the name)?
razor.ramon_ on IG Answer: We are rebuilding clearly to get back to the mountain top again, realized our team wasn’t as close are we hoped, trying to get the team younger and hopefully back into the playoffs and contend in 2023-24.
SL : See you then!

Who is your favorite NHL team?
Answer: Habs now ever forever
SL : Anything to do with being one of the most storied franchises in the universe of sports? Having the most respected and classiest captain in Jean Beliveau (HM to Maurice Richard), the most electrifying player in Guy Lafleur and the Big 3?
Ramon Answer: Born in montreal, started liking them in 93 and we won the cup, been fans since then.

Who is your favorite player of all time?
Saif Answer: Carey Price, Lidstorm and McDavid, just the best i’ve ever seen at their positions, well hasek is the best goalie, but i like Price more obviously.
SL : No love for Patrick Roy?
Ramon : you said favorite, picked one at each position, Roy would have been second choice.

Who is the person you would like to meet (dead or alive)? Feel free to explain!
Sam Answer: Shakira, most beautiful person in world, shooters shot.
SL : Her hips don’t lie! Don’t they!

Question : If you could catch a GM asleep and steal one of his players, who would that be?
razor.ramon_ on IG: Philipp Grubauer or Chris Driedger since i have both of their 1st round picks in next draft, but really McDavid.

You get first overall to start a league, which player would you choose? And why?
Saif Answer: McDavid again, he’s easily better player in NHL, it’s not close.

What’s the best way to approach you about a trade request?
Sam Answer: Just make an offer, don’t just ask for a player and accept me to guess what’s available

What annoys you when a GM approaches you ?
razor.ramon_ on IG Answer: Basically the same, asking for a player, but having nothing of remotely close in value available.

I know the SHL rulebook is a near perfect work but if they was one rule that you would change or add, what would it be?
Ramon Answer: Eliminate draft lottery, give worst team #1, if your bad enough to finish last, you’ve earned that pick.
SL : There will be an infinite amount of teams tanking to finish last, no?
