Hi legend!
I think Buffalo hasn't messaged you officially about the draft right?(edited)
Legend - Today at 8:48 AM
Hey sorry about that, I've been gone all day.
Nope I haven't heard from BUF
Tomen - Today at 5:02 PM
no worries :D
Well yeah I wanted to touch base with you about the possibility of being drafted to Buffalo.
Since we basically have to decide between picking a Defender or a winger with our 2nd first round pick
and if we go to winger you are definitely an option for us. Right now it basically is between you, Langabeer and Teemu Sirius(Schultzy)
Do you have any questions?
Legend - Today at 6:50 PM
How's your LR?
Mainly on site or Discord?
Tomen - Today at 6:50 PM
95% discord
Legend - Today at 6:50 PM
Not bad, although I don't like spending too much time on here
The site takes away from my work enough haha
Tomen - Today at 6:51 PM
we usually use discord to chat and have most important stuff in the LR
like some announcement or line changes
etc
are in the LR
I mean our LR only has 11 pages but it is mostly some announcements
Legend - Today at 6:52 PM
Any questions for me?
Tomen - Today at 6:52 PM
What are your long term plans for your player?
what kind of player do you want to buidl
Legend - Today at 6:52 PM
Offensive First right now. Get my scoring, skating and puck handling up.
Bring my defense up as well
Passing will get improved when I'm ready to make the jump but will still be lower
Tomen - Today at 6:53 PM
how much TPE do you see yourself earning in the span of your career? Do you want to be a top liner offensive forward something along these lines ?
Legend - Today at 6:54 PM
I don't have an exact number but I still feel like I want to be in the Top 5 at one point. Basically earn as much as I possibly can
Tomen - Today at 6:54 PM
uh that is nice!
how important is instant success for you would you be comfortable with an inactive forward playing a line above if you if that player has 300 or more TPE than you?
Legend - Today at 6:55 PM
As long as he's producing and we're finding more success with him in that role then I'm okay with that
Tomen - Today at 6:56 PM
do you see anything in the foreseeable future that might bring your activity down?
Legend - Today at 6:56 PM
Nope. I work from home so it allows me to stay active daily.
Getting Married in May
and my coaching duites are done next month so I have some time on my plate
Tomen - Today at 6:57 PM
Congrats on that one :smiley:
Legend - Today at 6:57 PM
Thanks man
Stable as I can be right now with everything
Tomen - Today at 6:57 PM
that sounds nice and yeah family/personal life always has priority
could you see yourself playing for one team a longer period of time ?
like 5 seasons + ?
Legend - Today at 6:58 PM
Would prefer it honestly.
I'd rather by a lifer then be on 5 different teams
Tomen - Today at 6:59 PM
that sounds great
yeah just be honest with all your answer you don't neccessarily have to impress me with every answer :smile:(edited)
Tomen - Today at 7:00 PM
Do you have any preferred teams right now that you would like to be drafted to?
Legend - Today at 7:00 PM
Haha sorry about that. I'm pretty honest and easy going.
Honestly any team that wants me
You know you got picked by the right team when they make you feel wanted and like you were their main target. Truth or bullshit it doesn't matter haha
Tomen - Today at 7:03 PM
:smile: yeah , definitely feeling wanted is the best thing when a team drafts you.
How long would you like to play in the Juniors?
you would be send down for S33 definitely
Legend - Today at 7:03 PM
Depends on the the call-up situation. If I'm needed then I can come up. If not I have no problem staying with the Raiders and chasing a title there.
Tomen - Today at 7:04 PM
ah yeah you didn't get the Cup but you came close :frowning:
I mean right now it would look like this in S33 you would be playing down 100% unless you want like a ton of money in your first contract season :smile: in S34 it defintely will be a toss up between our roster situation and how much TPE/ how your build is at that point and in S35 you would play in BUffalo 100%
Legend - Today at 7:06 PM
I kinda figured. It seems alot of players play three years in Juniors here
Tomen - Today at 7:06 PM
since we would only call you up if you are on the top 9 forward lines
I mean the standard defintely is 2 years at least
after that it entirely depends on the roster but yeah recently the time in the Juniors went up a bit
Legend - Today at 7:07 PM
Man, the league almost needs expansion if that is the case
Maybe both
Tomen - Today at 7:09 PM
but yeah right now we are looking at picking kit( Viktor Vorkämpfer) with our first 1st round pick and the other pick is currently up between picking a winger (most likely you /langabeer is also in the conversation same with Teemu Sirius(Schultzy) or a defender Tommy Salami or spooked(Eero Hämäläinen)
For the winger conversation you are the favorite so far for me
we expect Tanner (Veli Kaalinpää) to be picked #1
Legend - Today at 7:10 PM
All solid choices honestly.
Tomen - Today at 7:10 PM
Basically it is only up between spooked/Salami and you I feel like
since we need a D and a winger from this draft
Legend - Today at 7:10 PM
Not to lower my draft stock... But Salami has impressed me honestly.
Seems like a really good member
Tomen - Today at 7:11 PM
hoenstly this draft is really good so far
we are trying to acquire another first round pick
to hopefully get 2 of you/Salami/spooked
but that will be a difficult task
Legend - Today at 7:13 PM
Alot of teams have multiple picks in the 1st round, so yeah I imagine it is.
Tomen - Today at 7:13 PM
basically it now only boils down to who we like the most from our conversations since we feel that you 3 are all can't miss prospects so to say
Legend - Today at 7:13 PM
Well that's good.
Tomen - Today at 7:14 PM
did the site change a lot compared to your first player?
since you had a player before if I remember correctly?
Legend - Today at 7:14 PM
Yeah it's alot different this time around.
Alot of toxic posts and thread which you have to navigate around.
Also expansion woulnd't hurt to spread things out haha
Tomen - Today at 7:16 PM
haha yeah right now is the time again of offseason drama and negativity
it usually is a bit less once the offseason is over but just like you said there is still a lot of negativity here
Legend - Today at 7:17 PM
Yup, it's one of the main reason I love being on the SBA. So chill compared to here
More friendly banter then everyone getting offended haha
Tomen - Today at 7:17 PM
haha yeah it definitely feels that people can't take too much hsit here
and you have to think about what you say
never looked into the SBA if I am honest since I am definitely not into basketball ,D
:D*
Legend - Today at 7:18 PM
I'm in love with hockey and barely think about basketball but honestly, it's a blast
I'd highely recommend checking it if you ever have time
Tomen - Today at 7:22 PM
hmmm
I might give it a lock once it is no longer offseason since offseason tneds to be a fairly hectic time for me... too many SHL jobs :smile:
Legend - Today at 7:24 PM
Haha yeah. Quicker season, and very slack. Easy to earn tpe and be a top player
Tomen - Today at 7:36 PM
:thinking: hm definitely will take a look at it once the SHL draft is gone since then I will have less work on my plate abd more time :smile:
Legend - Today at 7:38 PM
Sounds great to me
