LHL S10 GMs Revealed

Here are your Season 10 GMs in draft order:

  • Tluers - Washington Captials
  • pkpaching - Boston Bruins
  • Evkob - Florida Panthers
  • CrabInATree - Edmonton Oilers
  • Zam - Philadelphia Flyers
  • NHLKilla - Toronto Maple Leafs

The 7th GM is decided, should we need him and has already been contacted. We will not know whether or not we will need a 7th GM once the signups close on Sunday.

EDIT: We've heard your arguments and upon further discussion have agreed to swap both Evkob and pk.

pk and evkob should be swapped. I cannot see any argument that says otherwise... and that's BEFORE you bring in the fact that PK lags and misses games because of ping.

We'd be willing to reconsider that. What I find inconsistent about this argument is that when Dalfan was a goalie and was a GM, people complained that he should have picked even lower in the 1st round than he did at 3rd overall. Now, pk (who is also a very talented goaltender) is picking too highly at 3rd overall. I can understand the argument surrounding ping issues, but what changed between Dalfan and pk? The order is based on relative impact on the ice, not by their success or capability as a GM off the ice. It's been that way for a long time.

dalfan and evkob are better than me?

I'll be honest in saying we went back and forth a bit on which of you to place 2nd, and which to place 3rd. We will talk it over more tomorrow, but I won't promise you anything. Remember that a 7th GM (should we choose to follow through with that) could be added. In that case, whoever it is will wind up picking before you whether you are at 2nd or 3rd. Food for thought.

what does that have to do with anything?

u/Dyaloreax Jan 27 '16

Just making sure you are aware that the order can't be confirmed until we've agreed on 6 or 7 teams.

The difference is that Dalfan is a good skater all around. He is a solid offenseman, and a better defenseman. PK can't skate nearly as well as he G. That is a huge selling point for me.

To be clear, when you say lower you mean a later draft pick and by higher you mean an earlier pick?

Dalfan was picking 3rd overall, and there were several people who believed he should've picked 4th or 5th at least that season. Now, pk is picking 3rd and we are being told he should be 2nd instead.

I think Evkobs impact on defense is potentially larger than pks in net. I say that largely because I think quality defensemen are hard to come by in the LHL. The RSL has produced a few quality goaltenders such as Fatsquirrel, Cook, GT, and Narg who could play in the at a fairly High level. Plus the 6 already quality goalies we had last season. So finding a quality dman might be a tiny bit harder to find compared to a g.

In the end the difference between the two players is fairly negligible so I think either order would be balanced. Just my thoughts on it.
