Gaikoku-hito 2,023 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Vancouver Delays Draft & Drama Heading into the S94 Draft Vancouver Wolves had a very good idea of who they wanted to draft at the 4th and 5th overall selections in the draft but management made one mistake heading into the draft when it became obvious that one of the players that the team was interested in drafting was most likely not going to be available. Call it false hope or dumb hope; as the management never confirmed with each other what they would do if said player wasn`t available. Add in the fact that AGM (me) couldn`t be available at the start of the draft on his computer due to a family engagement (stupid Saturday school for the kids) and a bit of issues with discord on his phone deciding it wanted to do an update while trying to communicate during the draft proceedings. Luckily, picks came fast and furious so most didn`t really notice the 10min or more delay for what it was. GM & AGM trying to communicate with each other but needing to wait for a discord update. While we had discussed moving down in the draft from this spot, I am not sure that it really was on the table but we had two players as @Frank mention in his off-season review that we were considering but never confirmed it with each other what we were going to do. Panic did set in as I watch draft stream and the slow-moving bar of a download of a update but I was able to get a hold of frank just in time to have a say in who we selected. So that is why it took 10mins or more for Vancouver Wolves to make their second selection of draft day and a huge respect for Frank for waiting for this dumbass to complete his discord update and have a say in the selection. Really, he could have just made the selection without my input as I don`t think we could have gone wrong either way either selecting @mmrs617 Matteo Stefano or as we did Soju. Wish Matteo Stefano @mmrs617 all the best in Davos and not surprised @Alex seen the same potential as we did.
