I guess Malmo never lost their picks in the first place? 😂


Appreciate the trade talks @LucyXpher! And welcome to Prague!

So 1st overall in S98 gets you 3rd overall from S93. Bucatini and Del Rocco must be priceless.

 

Mentioning Del Rocco was a crazy thing to do here

Suddenly @LucyXpher making sure Prague didn’t get screwed in the punishments makes more sense haha.

 

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate being fair, but it was curious when it didn’t affect her team at all.

 

Also hi Malmo 👀

One does get bored of going first overall so much 😉

We just want to make your dream of being #2 become a reality. (Also, DISCLAIMER: I have no say in what Malmo does and the opinions expressed by Piffer are his own and not those of the Nighthawks organization). Also I got a question for you. I'll send in DMs.

I thought Malmo was bought in to compete?

Yeah, for S97. Keep up!

Yet Fish was saying y'all were going to keep competing in S98... curious

Competing doesn’t necessarily mean contending.  It was never the plan to be pushing all-in for S98, S99.  That would be kinda dumb and I never once said that we would be doing that.  Buying for last season meant we had options going into S98 and I’m pretty happy with how those options are working out.

I'm going to refrain from making further comments because... 

Competing for a playoff spot vs contending for a cup are generally very different things— but I guess based on recent history, maybe not so much, though you’d expect that’s not the norm.  That’s what I’m talking about when I say there’s a difference.  
 

But please, if you have more constructive criticism, I’m all ears!

idk I think in vhl there's no reason to ever just be competing for a playoff spot. irl sports there's benefits for fans/merch/ticket sales stuff like that but that's just not a thing in vhl. 

 

otherwise if you're just playing for a playoff spot you're never really good enough to win but you're also not getting top picks to work with so you're kind of stuck in a middling spot that's only decaying as players age. 

 

i don't necessarily hate this move in context of malmo. I think that obviously something has to be done and getting 1st overall is an amazing start not even for a rebuild but just having a valuable asset that can be either be committed to for competing or in 2 seasons flipped as a valuable sign and trade. depends on the rest of the off-season tbh. it does give malmo a longer time horizon instead of just being screwed in a season or two.  Just depends how the rest of the team is managed in the future because it is a key move

Half-assing anything, whether it be contending or rebuilding, is how you become Warsaw. Malmo is not in the stage of building up to a window, but prolonging a rebuild, which is just gonna hurt you in the long run. Selling then immediately buying is how you hurt a team. Dedicate either to tanking or contending. Malmo wasn't good enough to win last season, and maintaining the status quo isn't gonna help at all

Yeah this is actually my thoughts on the whole deal - I actually think this is a fantastic deal for Malmo in a vacuum. But that's not because I think that Bek/whoever can be a contributor, the windows of contention don't align. It's more because I think the true rebuild will need to start when Malmo has picks again, and Bek/whoeever will have much more value when flipped than two-seasons-from-retirement Leitner would, and it's a matter of committing to that rebuild in the meantime.
