You've got to remember there are 6 E GMs vs. the 16 in the VHL, so nearly triple.
If a lot of these guys are getting contacted by 2 E GMs, that's the equivalent percentage as if 5 or 6 VHL GMs reached out. I can tell you with certainty that most of these players did not have more than 5-6 VHL GMs reach out to them this season as well.
Not excusing the behaviour because I think the total should be more like 4-5 GMs in the E and 10-12 GMs in the VHL in an ideal world, but just trying to avoid the unnecessary shitting on the E that you mention.
