It's Draft Day!

[Spartan 4,531]

It's finally draft day!!!!!! Maybe this time I'll keep my word count under 500 lol. But it's a very exciting day for 16 teams in the VHL and all the prospects eligible to be selected. I remember my draft day in S72, pretty sure I was moving out of my apartment at the end of my junior year in college. Now a full year forward, I've graduated college and it's the dawn on the S78 draft. Exciting times.

 

Moscow has reached out to a number of players, and so far almost all the interviews have gone very well. There are a lot of excellent users in this draft, regardless of their TPE or earning, and I wish I had more picks and roster space to be able to take them all. Difficult decisions are going to have to be made tonight, but I'm grateful for the advisors in my corner who have helped through the process. It's been a tough but fun process, and the future of Moscow has never looked brighter. Funny what can happen when you actually trade for picks, and don't trade them away, eh?

 

It's also been pretty odd to know basically how the top 5/6 picks will shake out well in advance of the draft, I've noticed a lot more communication and transparency between GM's in similar pick ranges in the VHL than in other leagues. Not a complaint at all, rather knowledge that's nice to have on hand. Benefits multiple parties in that sense, so I have a lot of respect for Gus, Ricer and McWolf for their willingness to be open and transparent. 

 

Lastly, life has just been chaotic so I wasn't able to work on VSN's S78 Mock Draft (check it out here!), but I'm planning on putting together an S79 "Way Too Early Mock Draft" sometime next week to get some hype started for the next draft. Will be a fun project to work on with the Scouting department!

 

Word Count: 329 (success!)
