Kendrick 4,741 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Often times draftees will chime in on where they want to end up in pre-draft interviews. Many times they do intact end up in some of the places they have high on their list. Just recently a prospect ranked some teams on where they fall on his list. It's always fun to see the rankings as a member of the team they may have near the top. Whether they fit in or not can be funny or fun depending on the prospect. However, many people don't give their post-draft rankings on why they had teams at the top or not. Tyson Kohler was drafted 4th Overall by his home countries team the Cologne Express. What teams did Kohler have on his list though? #1 This has more to do with success and the ability to think clearly in transactions. Helsinki has shown the ability to achieve success and of course make the deals that need to be done to get there. #2 I've been saying for awhile that this team is on the up and up. They chose to go in a different direction which is fine, but I see them doing well ni the near future. #3 This has little to do with the history between us and more to do with the current state of the team. They have the right pieces in place and the right attitude about building the team. Also a stud goaltender who looks to be special! #4 I've never played for New York so they get on the list out of the unknown. They don't have a bad direction currently, sometimes a little too kiss ass for my liking but it's probably not the same when you're on the actual team. #5 The only franchise I have never played for and the image is a tad better. Gone are the stupid Vasteras ways and in front are the Smarch ways. Probably have this one heavily influenced by Smarch really. #6 / These two tie because of totally different reasons. Riga is a nice place but I just have spent a lot of time in Riga over my tenure in the VHL and a change is nice. Seattle would be cool I just don't really trust management in it's current situation. #8 I won a cup here back in the day but a lot has changed and somewhat of the same stuff that I listed under New York. I like to win but not stroking each others E-Dicks to do it. #9 Watching Quebec is like watching Management that looks like a chicken with it's head chopped off. Not a fan of obvious tanking and especially if that tanking acquires some players who have fallen off a bit. Not to mention brovy is a little shit and his reactions on Cologne pretty much speak volumes on his resume. #10 It's not a bad place and Gooning is a great person to be around but I think Ahma screwed up the franchise with his first first round draft choice a season ago. It's a huge free agent killer having Robbie on your team. Don't think of this as an insult, just an opinion based on what has been shown. I'm happy to be in Cologne but like I told Greg I will probably be bouncing around a few teams in my career as I've always been loyal to a team and never had the chance to go where I want.

BluObieZ 1,125 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Lol totally expected this. That is my comment. It's funny really because I have a long track record of being great in the LR. but hey everyone is intitled to their opinion. Be it heavily slanted one way out of personal hate or not. Just ask anyone who has been on the same team with me more then 50% would say I'm good in the LR that's my proof right there.

Also Quebec has brightest future no fucking doubt. The fact Cologne is #3 is complete fucking bias.

I don't get how # is bias when I stated it had nothing to do with history and more to do with Greg and what he is building. You've been rebuilding for 4-5 seasons it seems, don't even act like you've been purposely losing either.

hedgehog337 3,483 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) 1) Kendrick's nickname color is almost blue 2) His TOP two teams are the only teams that have blue color on logo. Coincidence? I don't think so. His rank should be The Blue Ice Cube tbh.

When you have elite members like Smarch and Frank I feel they have should have some opinion on to what happens to a team considering they are both franchise players and have had players in the past that have been elite. I take opinions from my team UNLIKE you who throws them to the side. Dreaming success? You really are dumb. Just watch.

Don' act like you just sat there like a trooper, you went behind my back to go search for shit like an immature 5 year old. I find your opinion comment funny, considering you expected me to take your opinion as a 14 year old kid with little to know STHS experience.
