Advantage 2,769 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I am just reading through the Community Mock Draft thread and felt like discussing some rumours/talking points.. Tyler Walker Wants to Play for Malmo, NOT DC: "This isn't really true honestly. I would love to play for Malmo as my ties are obvious, but DC was one of the other teams I definitely had some interest in. I know I have discussed this already with management there and they are very aware that I have no issue playing out my career in a Dragons uniform, especially if the team is put in a good position. I'm happy either way as the two teams with the top two picks are probably the two teams I wanted to play for the most, given the relative uniqueness of their individual team's history." Tyler Walker and Micah Adrienne are REALLY CLOSE in TPE: "Yes, we are. We have been all along. Pretty much since about the third week after creation, I've been about 10-15 ahead which still holds true now once I update this week. The interesting thing is while we are quite close in TPE, our defenders play COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ways. Adrienne is a shutdown physical defender while Walker projects more as a two-way defender who shines mostly in the offensive end." Tyler Walker Should and Will Go 1st Overall: "I'm not so sure here. I have no idea really but I don't get the warm fuzzy feelings from DC about drafting me. That isn't to say I know they won't but I have a feeling they may not go defense and may go with a first gen forward instead. Why? There is no reason to really ignore Walker unless you are going after a different position. With the current draft crop for forwards, the two that really stick out to me are Pines and Dood, so I see them maybe going with one of these 1st overall, or perhaps even trading down a few slots to select one of them. Should Walker go 1st overall? Maybe. I think he will end up top 3 in the draft in TPE at the end of his career (with Frostbeard being 1) but I do think the top few players in the draft are pretty close in stock." Walker Could Leave in FA after his ELC with DC: "One brief look into my history in this league (which expands roughly 55 seasons) will tell you that I have never been a Free Agent in VHL history (ignoring the moments I forget to sign myself as GM). I have also never asked for a trade before in the VHL. I have also never retired on a team because I don't want to play for them. Safe to say, I generally am okay with my situation as long as I trust the GM, and as already stated, I have no issues with DC or Enorama."

I took a week or two of summer vacay after the playoffs, and I'm so out of the loop. I'm hoping a dark week or two in the offseason doesn't hurt my draft stock. I know nothing I just learned who Micah Adrienne is actually.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, Condor never knew he had a brother either until Micah created Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
