well Ive mentioned before how the draft impacted me. I had no idea where I was going to go in the draft. I knew that I was a good prospect with the potential to go first overall because I was a high earning prospect with a good history in the league (also a history of staying with one team) and I am playing in a position that is not very attractive to a lot of people so not many people there. so I wouldn't have been surprised if i went first overall to the orange county otters, but there was another really good prospect before me - jeffie. I won't come close to him in career tpe earnings so he is living up to his hype. But also, I think this is most important, I made certain demands and didn't hold back in telling the league what I wanted out of Blackstone's career. and part of that will be asking for a little more money and also moving around periodically. As a GM I understand that that's not very easy to hear. Lucky for me the Yeti decided to draft me anyways. And I say Lucky for me because (1) they were on the top of my list, but also (2) we ended up winning the Ultimus in my second year on the team. So hopefully the Yeti's risk has paid off.
