We've been having a fun discussion and looking back through history since the start of S75 to see if vets are actually taking opportunities from first-gens/newer members. From S75 (or whenever @Hex Universe joined the league) to today, we've recorded 18 hirings to VHL/VHLM GM/AGM positions. We made a nice breakdown of how it shapes up:
VHL GM:
1 First-Gen - Hylands
1 Veteran - Ricer (2nd player about to get drafted)
VHL AGM:
5 First-Gens - MattyIce, Ledge, Brewins, Selsby, Domg
1 Vet - Poptart
VHL GM:
3 First-Gens: Rory, Zetterberg, Thad
2 Vets: ADV, IR
VHLM AGM:
6 First-Gens: Hex, Juice, Tina, Selsby x2 (yeesh this man be zooming around), Prout for a brief stint.
Total breakdown, from S75 onwards, 15 out of 19 GM/AGM hirings have been First-Gens. I really, really do not think this is cause for concern lol.
