Head Moderator Baozi 1,635 Posted January 12, 2014 Head Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Still have no respect for him. Lindros type move in an environment such as professional sports is totally fucked. In regards to your question, yes several people have. Martucci most recently, but pretty sure Fong did that as well as InstantRockstar and a couple others. Huh since when? I've never pulled a Lindros. Terence Fong - Drafted by Avangard, signed there. Fujiwara - Drafted by Vasteras, signed there. Kanou - Drafted by Davos, signed there. Qin - Drafted by Davos, signed there.

Admin Victor 10,550 Posted January 12, 2014 Admin Share Posted January 12, 2014 Speaking of Fong, he may be the only one with two players drafted first overall. (Fujiwara and Kanou) Oh no, Slobo too. Heidt and Rybak. And Coach with Baldwin and Moher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Moderator Baozi 1,635 Posted January 12, 2014 Head Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2014 Glad you read the whole thread.. What did I miss something? The only other thing Devil was asking about was if there was pay differences between 1st picks and the last picks. Then he asked if anyone pulled a Eli Manning ever, which you quoted a Lindros type movement which I inquired about since I shouldn't have been related to that comment.

I should mention those guys didn't refuse to sign, they just made it known they didn't want to be drafted by a certain team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Moderator Baozi 1,635 Posted January 12, 2014 Head Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) I'm pretty sure I never once said that I wouldn't want to be drafted by team X, though I think I made a fan 590 that said I'd like to goto a team that is already a contender. Obviously it didn't affect my decision to sign with NY anyways. It just seems extremely not me to do something like that, unless someone took it out of context I guess. All the teams that PMed me pre-draft I told I don't have issues with any of them and I'd gladly sign. Edited January 12, 2014 by tfong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over a long period. You'll notice most of them also have been GM's as well. Builder doesn't just relate to playing building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Builder doesn't just relate to playing building Which begs the question... is that a stupid bias? I've contributed in numerous other ways, just not as a VHL GM. Was a VHLM GM for 10+ seasons, produced a lot of material we still use in the recruiting efforts (welcome message, the VHL ad message you & others have used). Not saying I deserve it yet, just trying to gauge what is part of the acumen most builders need to get into the HOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying I deserve it yet, just trying to gauge what is part of the acumen most builders need to get into the HOF. There's no set criteria for it. I wasn't saying just being a VHL GM does it. The following get taken into consideration: VHL GM VHLM GM VHL Commish VHLM Commish Recruiting Area Rules and Idea Material BOG Various League Tasks Longevity on the Forum Activity etc... I wasn't saying just the VHL GM. Keep in mind there are tons of people not in as a Builder because of the time they've been with the league. EX. Nick Barr did some good things (I hated the guy and he was an asshole) but he also was only part of it for around 6 seasons as an active player.

Fire Tortorella 2,653 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Is a 30 person draft class large or small compared to previous seasons? It's not so much the size of the draft class, but more so the amount of players that are at least semi-active. d3vilsfire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) So far looks like 20/30 are at least semi-active! Edited January 12, 2014 by Kendrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I'll be surprised if I get taken by Cologne. Chekov still has a few more years in him. Yes but if a team was to compete, having another goaltender come along right after would allow them to stay competitive for many years, even after the retiring of Chekhov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Victor 10,550 Posted January 13, 2014 Admin Share Posted January 13, 2014 Is a 30 person draft class large or small compared to previous seasons?We've had less a few times. 30 is the minimum needed for 3 rounds and we've had 3 rounds for I'd say at least 80% of the drafts (the other 20% were 4 or more in the very early days).

Seth 92 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Salo and Olynick will battle it out to be the first goaltender drafted it seems. Blaine has the easy head start, but after finishing my biography and rookie profile, I hope to make it a far closer decision for GM's. I look forward to seeing how it plays out.
