CoachReilly 688 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) I've voiced my frustrations on GM successions for probably 15 seasons at this point, so maybe you can understand my overreaction. You act like I'm way off base here when every other GM I've heard from, including Draper, has agreed with me that Davos is not getting fairly treated. no, I don't think you did this knowing that DGFX would fall to you or in an effort to get a better prospect for Helsinki, but you called my argument into question for saying Davos would totally ruin the draft by getting Komarov 13th. Which is complete and utter bullshit - I think that's well established. And Helsinki was a major benefactor of this, so that was my point. no sane person could argue that. i really think you looked at a draft board, looked at ranking, and took zero other factors into consideration. A much too simple solution for a complicated matter. i know I fucked Davos over and I really apologize for having a life over Christmas and New Years and not being able to draft, sign FAs, etc. when I was in goddamn Bolivia. I made a poor plan and that wasn't the BOGs fault, but this poor decision made today (a few hours before the draft) definitely falls on you Edited March 6, 2016 by CoachReilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooningitup 1,290 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Heres how i look at it, i dont know much of the past ruling on this, or the teams situations in comparison to mine. However the way i see it, well it sucks im the first step in fixing what appears to have been a broken system. Only way to fix it is to start it, someones going to get screwed over regardless. Now, if i see a future case like mine where a GM gets to use their second rounder ill be mad, but if this ends up correcting it like it should then im fine with it. Does it suck yes, id love to have added 3 good prospects to what is a very barren team. But im not going to whine about it, im going to put on my big boy pants and try to build this team into a contender no ifs and or buts Edited March 6, 2016 by Gooningitup Will and CoachReilly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachReilly 688 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 And I wouldn't expect you to do anything different because you're a good dude. But you need shit to work with, and you got a little squeezed tonight - and I do think there are some things that need to be addressed. Victor - you were around two seasons ago? You've always been BOG from what I can tell. How did your reasoning from one selection to another change? The situations are strikingly similar to SEA and TOR.

Toronto was probably done the same way because it was the same time and it wasn't worth the argument. Fuck knows what I was doing at the time, but the logic, as I said earlier, was lesser of two evils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FacePuncher 1,343 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 5th overall! I thought I might be but I figured I was a long shot with Cole and Dadonov well in front of me in TPE. I won't let it be a bad decision Victor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sterling 1,990 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Just to clarify, Davos got the 8th rated prospect at 7th overall, that's hardly a screw job- in fact teams reach every season. Seattle took a guy with less TPE at 5th otherwise the TPE difference would have been minute. So how in your logic does 8th to 7th make less sense than 8th to 13th?

One quick look at Titan Kronos' player thread and brovy would've realized the draft date of the player. I'm not sure I've ever seen a GM not look at a players thread before drafting him like that and so early in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did scout reasonably, I'd spoken to him a fair bit before the draft so it's not like he came in completely unaware. It's kinda not his fault if the guy's there on the list, regardless of whether he's not done his due diligence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A clusterfuck all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evans 305 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Draper and I are discussing our options on this. Would love to play for the team that drafted me. Only reservation I am having is regarding the years until I auto retire. With me being under 100 TPE it is safe to assume that I get sent down to the minors. Do those years count towards my retirement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
