Keahi Discusses Potential Draft Destinations
#1

Instead of doing an article where I rank or group teams based on where I would want to be drafted, I decided to flip it around and rank teams based on the likelihood they would draft me. Writing this was kind of fun, let me take a peek at rosters and see who is where. Interesting to see how I moved teams around, as I arranged them on likelihood to draft me first, then after writing and researching the rosters I’d move them to a different group if I realized that there would be reasons why they wouldn’t be as willing to draft me.

Will Never Draft Me or Have Me On Roster

Renegades Texas Renegades Renegades
I honestly can’t imagine a world where Texas drafts me. They have a good roster, and they have a couple people who would probably say they don’t hate me. Honestly it’s just one of those things where I burned a bridge early on with my time on the site. Weirder things have happened, but I’m not planning on seeing “With the 30th overall pick, the Texas Renegades select RW Justin Keahi.”

Panthers Los Angeles Panthers Panthers
The Panthers are another team that likely will not draft me. They have a few cool people on the team, but no one I talk with. The Panthers were the team that drafted my first player, but it never worked out. It was never an issue with management or anything like that, more just an issue of me. The team has always been a good locker room whenever I was there, sadly I just never made an effort to make it work. Another team that I think would sooner pass then draft me.

Dragons Calgary Dragons Dragons
This is an interesting one. There are times I could think they’d draft me, but it doesn’t last long. The Dragons look like a good bunch of lads, but I doubt the key people can say that of me. Not sure exactly how I’d fit with the team, or how I’d feel in the locker room. Not saying I would be opposed to being drafted there, more just saying it’d be a surprise and interesting learning experience if I was brought in. For now, I’d count them as another team that would use their late draft picks on inactives then me.

Platoon West Kendall/Baltimore Platoon Platoon
The Toonza were actually a locker room I enjoyed when I played for them. Though back then I was a pain in the ass (I still might be, I’m trying to work on it), so I doubt they’d say they enjoyed having me in the locker room. The team has a lot of good people, but looking at the roster there is a person that would for sure hate me being there. I don’t blame him for feeling that way, but I never had issues with him. Actually looking at the prospects also, they have someone that I don’t like and likely that person hates me. Well that sucks, I honestly was considering the Platoon a neat wildcard, but seeing who they have drops them into the teams that will never bring me in.

Maybe, They Could Still Just Pass Me Though

Wolfpack New England Wolfpack Wolfpack
Realistically, I don’t see the Wolfpack taking me unless I promised them I would stay active. For sure a good team and looks to be a good locker room, but I’m likely too much of a risk to bring in. Plus I’m sure previous NEW front office staff would be heavily against bringing me in. Anyways, I’m probably not someone that they are looking to bring in, and I don’t blame them. Maybe sometime down the line I’ll end up back with the Wolfpack.

Barracuda Tampa Bay Barracuda Barracuda
This team looks to have a good group. The team has a lot of good people on the team, plenty that likely make the locker room fun. Might still have one or two people that would be opposed to bringing me in, but who knows. Another team that would probably only take me if I had a written slip saying I wouldn’t go inactive, but that's the way it goes when you’ve never been fully active with a player. Be an interesting tema to get drafted too, but I’m not expecting that discord PM during the draft.

pride San Francisco Pride pride
No real reason for ranking the Pride here, just can’t imagine myself getting drafted by them. Grape’s a good dude, and they have the best person I’ve interacted with ever on the site in the form of bilbo. Good luck with the draft, but it’s another team I won’t be expecting to use a pick on me.

Specters New Orleans Specters Specters
The Specters actually have a decent amount of people that I know. Some of them I share servers with and I think are cool, so that’s good. Just comes down to them likely not wanting to draft me. They have one player that I’d probably not get along with well, so that’s my main reason for ranking them here.

Stampede Buffalo Stampede Stampede
Could Buffalo draft me? Maybe, but it’s another team where a few more influential people on the team would recommend literally anyone else. They look to have a solid group of people, though to be honest I’m not sure if I’d be able to fit in the group. They’ve a lot of interesting personalities, but it might be a case where my personality doesn’t mesh with any of theirs.

Begrudgingly Might

Chiefs Minnesota Chiefs Chiefs
After going inactive on my last player, I’m not sure how willing the Chiefs will be to draft me. I wouldn’t be opposed to being brought back. I wouldn’t blame them if they passed on me and took someone else, especially if they can guarantee they’ll be active. In the end, if they draft me I’ll have no issues, if they don’t draft me I’ll have no issues.

Steelhawks Hamilton Steelhawks Steelhawks
Hamilton is really only here because they seem to always take my player. Usually I don’t talk much in their locker room, so I probably work as a cheap roster filler who might occasionally update. The team has a bunch of cool people though. I don’t think I have any issues with the current roster or vise versa for the roster with me. If they draft me, neat, if not then on to the next team.

Rage Manhattan Rage Rage
This is the locker room I’m still the most active in. For how many seasons I’ve been in the Rage discord, they’ve never kicked me out. So that’s probably a sign that they haven’t got sick of me yet, right? I’m sure there were a few times where I was close to getting kicked out, but hopefully there won’t be anymore. Super active locker room, and a lot of good people. I’d be happy to be drafted back to Manhattan, but I understand that they would want to use their picks on people who could contribute more to the team.

Wildcards

syndicate Chicago Syndicate syndicate
I honestly don’t know where they feel about me. They have a couple people I know, but the people that I would want to talk to are likely inactive. They also have kit, but it sounds like he is inactive so maybe it wouldn’t be that bad. Really interesting team, but a true wildcard in the sense that I have no clue what they’ll do. Maybe coming up to the draft I’ll get some messages from the team, but until then I’ll say that I have no complaints if the Syndicate wanted to draft me.

Jets Winnipeg Jets Jets
Other than Kez, I don’t know much from this team. A couple people from my time with the Raptors with another player, but other than that a bunch of unfamiliar names. Honestly just another team where I don’t know how they feel about me, and I never played for them so I can’t rank them based on my previous assholeness. They’ve always been an interesting team for me, so maybe after almost 30 seasons in the league I’ll finally be a part of the Winnipeg Jets. Or they draft someone better than me, that is also a valid option.

Stars Toronto North Stars Stars
Another team I haven’t played for, so it’s hard to guess what they feel about me. Couple familiar names on the roster or prospect system for them, but they all are in the Kelwona locker room so that might not reflect well for me. I don’t think Toronto has ever been a team that I’ve thought about, or a team that has ever messaged me before. They might have looked at me, but no formal lines of communication have ever been made before a draft from what I remember. Would be interesting if I was drafted there, but for now they are a wildcard.

Blizzard Edmonton Blizzard Blizzard
The Blizzard were one of the more fun team locker rooms I’ve been in during my time on the site. It’s been a long time since I’ve actually been anywhere near the team, so a lot of the faces have changed and the structure might be different. With that new structure, I’m unsure how the team feels about me and how the GMs feel about me. For sure another wildcard team in terms of drafting my annoying ass.

The good thing about unfamiliar faces is that they can become familiar Smile Jets

Calgary management has no issues drafting Keahi if we needed the position.
Good luck at the draft.  Goal

Gotta love an article where a prospect highlights they have issues with several locker rooms. Hmm

Eh, at the end of the day we are here to have fun. People either like me or they don't, and I would make it known that I have had issues before with certain people or locker rooms so GMs don't have to deal with me being a cunt. I don't want to feel like I wasted a teams time because they drafted me and it doesn't work out due to my prior issues
