eaglesfan036 4,595 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 There are 16 teams in the VHL, yet only 2 have reached out to me about the draft with one day to go leading up to it. Messaging players is solely an effort thing, and I guess a lot of GMs just don't want to do proper scouting. Without reaching out to players, how do you have any idea what their plans are? What if they plan on entering free agency after 4 years, what if they might retire early, what if they plan on making a goon, what if they really don't want to play for your team, what if they would love to play for your team? You have no way of knowing this without reaching out for some re draft scouting. It really doesn't take much effort to send out mass PMs to find this stuff out. And no, I won't be answering these questions about Malone in here. If you actually want to know if Malone wants to play for your team or might enter free agency, reach out and ask me. Otherwise you are just taking a gamble on drafting me without knowing what my intentions are because you are lazy. fonziGG and Jubis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostBeard 2,046 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 If I would have picks... That said, I wish you the best in the draft and I hope you will find a team that will value you and help you get that Continental cup! eaglesfan036 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubis 1,341 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I like you as a member and think your player will do great. Calgary just 100% not drafting a goalie this draft. I wouldnt want to mislead a potential draftee. All the best in the draft eaglesfan036 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by my count there are 7 teams that could reasonably draft a goalie, and 2/7 is still a low percentage unless you are using Dil math Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglesfan036 4,595 Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) My point isn't so much that I am personally offended that I am not receiving pre draft scouting messages. It's moreso that if I get drafted by a GM who doesn't do his due diligence for the draft, that is likely to reflect in other areas like trades and free agency Edited September 9, 2020 by chatfan036 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
