MWHazard 85 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Dear VHL, With the season heading into the post-trade deadline period, it's hard not to wonder about the road ahead. Johannes will be entering this coming draft, and while players like Dragomir and Roux will surely garner more attention heading into the draft, I'd like to believe Johannes offers a valuable asset to just about any team, and would garner interest from those with the top picks in this year's draft. Nevertheless, I'm willing to play for just about any team. In terms of where I'd like to go, a few teams have stood out. Recent trades have reduced the potential places I could end up, assuming I go in the first round. The recent VHLM Magazine mock draft didn't have me in the first round. All I really have to say to that is that a GM that misses me in the first round is going to regret it. Quebec would offer me a blank slate to try to chart a course from. Beaviss seems like he's embraced the rebuild, and they are going to have a lot of selections in this year's draft. They're barebones right now, but I like the branding here and they've got three firsts in this year's draft. I could see myself going with the Riga pick, or the Seattle pick. I'd be a fan of going to Quebec City for sure. Calgary have their first as well as Toronto's. I think I warrant a higher selection than where that Toronto pick is likely to end up, so that would mean being selected at Calgary's pick. That's probably 3rd. I'm not sure where Bash is at with his scouting, but I'd definitely play for the Wranglers. There are probably other deserving players at 3, but I can say that I'm going to build a very good player here. The only reason I'm not as high in TPE as others is my creation timing. Simple as that. I don't know much about Davos. They'll probably not want me at number 2 overall, so I'll just leave that where it lies. They do have New York's 1st as well now, so there might be a similar opportunity to Calgary where I think I should go before 7th or 8th, but the GMs might not feel the same. Honestly, I'd Helsinki's out there, but I'm not sure I want to play in a place run by a GM that gets banned on occasion. Maybe I'm just asking for this thread to turn into another argument, but it's definitely something that would turn me off about the place. Ultimately, there's always free agency if I don't like it. I think my preferred landing spots at this point are Quebec or Calgary. I'm definitely used to being on the management side of things, so it's funny to talk about this draft as a player only. I have very little idea about where I might end up. I'm taking the opportunity to ham it up a bit- if any GMs want to reach out and chat about my sim league background and how I see my player working out long term, I'm happy to chat. -Haz Bushito and diamond_ace 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
