(S2) - Weekend PT #4 - Drama!

[Silver Fox]

There’s one piece of drama no one has touched on yet, and that’s when Las Vegas traded picks to the original teams prior to the expansion draft for veteran players. Unfortunately, the only losers on those trades were the Legion and Liberty, as the two original teams involved were able to avoid losing any active players in the expansion draft. They then got to turn around and turn Vegas’s picks into new active players, basically avoiding the hit they’d have had to take if the expansion draft had functioned as intended. I can’t throw all the shade on the Outlaws and whatever the other original team was (can’t remember at the moment), as I’m sure had I been the GM there I’d have jumped on that deal as fast as I could, but here poor Liberty is, having lost out on 2 or 3 potentially active players. If it weren’t for the fact that we were able to trade Bojo Kicksit and Thor back to their teams for picks, our only currently active player to come out of the expansion draft is Vikian Marmeladov. Our only solace is that we managed to have a great S2 draft, while the Legion sat and watched until round 6 (though they did kill it from that point, lol).
