Wanted to do something more meaningful, but I'm not in a condition to do so. Here's a low effort thing.

 

First and fifth overall. That's what the draft lotto did to us. The first two picks would've been something more special and it may have happened. But LA decided to collapse at the end of the draft lotto tourney so their odds never grew. I guess you don't ask for too much. Prague managed to jump to the second overall from their initial 5th spot. They didn't hold onto it for long cause rebuilds suck. Acyd handed it to Seattle for two players, his own ex AGM included. Now the Phamily included themselves into the EU playoff race and turned this conference into more respectable thing. Cool cool. Then we have Helsinki at 3 and I feel like there might be a reach for reasons some members already know. Toronto has 4 and I have no idea what is Doom thinking right now. Or he is not thinking at all. This team has been really quiet since their sad ending of S85 and all this team has are fuck ton of unanswered questions so far. Also, Seattle is having two lotto picks too as the NY pick never made it further than 6th overall. NYA is so cursed even Bana's luck is hopeless.

 

The draft is set to Monday. Kinda far away, I gotta say. Though my ideal time which is Sunday wasn't hella closer option too. My main wish was no Friday or Saturday. So it's fine. May try to not be sleepy during that time. I don't have to go to the work anyways due to something that's starting to annoy me a lot.

 

There's some trades too. Riga participated in some, but the biggest one was the three way between New York, Davos and us. The OG idea was Thad getting his own player and sending Weaver to Davos. For some reasons Alex decided to rather have picks and shopped him to me and took Bridgers in return. I also took the NYA S87 2nd in the process. Well, for Davos and NYA this trade is straight forward. For Riga, it's more interesting. Pretty much setting for the S85/86 core and sprinkles of S87. Time will tell if this is going to work. But for now let's enjoy some good looking big trades. By the way, Davos has two three ways this offseason already. I guess it will make sense if Alex can complete a trifecta of three way trades.

 

Nothing much else so far. FA is starting on Saturday though I'm likely not gonna be invested in it. Looks like it may be worse class than the last one. I think forward FA's are going to be very popular. I believe LA, Malmo and NY will gun hard for em. In Amurricans case, they'll go after about everyone outside of goaltending if they really wanna have competing chances.

 

I think I will stop here. I hope I will find a spark for something better next week. But I can't guarantee anything.

 

That's it and I'm out.
