(S28) PT 3 - What If?

[PMoney]

Not many things in the league affect your experience more than your ISFL draft. For most people it’s where they spend the most of their time in the league and become some of the people they know best. My personal what if moment revolves around Patrik Money’s draft position as he ended up going to Yellowknife in round 5. However, Money was not the only Coyotes DE taken in round 5. Only a few spots before Money his teammate Ismael Sanchez was drafted to the Colorado Yeti. Ismael was a fun locker room presence and at the time fully deserving of his spot in the draft but proceeded to drop out of the league before he reached 400 TPE. Money on the other hand was higher TPE and has since become a top 15 TPE player in the league and become the GM for Yellowknife.

What effects would this have had on the league if the players had been reversed? In the second season in the ISFL we won the Ultimus and this may very well have continued in the same way as the players were at similar levels at that point. However, the S26 win may have been different if Colorado had another strong DT at that time as they only just missed the playoffs. I likely would have not ended up as a GM considering the strong GMs in Colorado at the time of my draft and since, but it would have also prevented the trade that send Honolulu legend, Immanuel Blackstone to Honolulu for a day as unlike Ismael Sanchez, my name is not that similar to Immanuel Blackstone.
