The Night Before Day 1 of the Raiders' Training Camp
Raiders Management Office
Norkodsav, Ontorisa
8:28 PM
General Manager Jakob Verilyier
Verilyier looked at the various files of the free agents and recently drafted players in the KMHL Entry Draft. He leaned back in his chair and puffed, looking at the ceiling now. His first training camp as the General Manager of the Raiders, and to be fair, he was only realizing he was not in Kansas, or in this case the OJL, anymore. Some of the resumes that were being brought to camp were either lack lustre, unproven or limited in information. For instance, Visia Jorksiamen was returning from a 4-year stint in the SHL, posting a career SV% of .892 over there with HV71 while Emmanuil Usmanov's time with the MJL's Qatajumi Comets was more along the lines of meh than the future star of the Raiders' defensive core. In 57 games played with the Comets, Usmanov had posted 16 points, only one of them being a goal.
According to Verilyier's three scouts he had employed (two of them were at least 75 years old), The Raiders, despite being absolutely terrible for the past few KMHL seasons, had a terrible prospect pool, with the majority of them and picks being traded away by the previous General Manager for aging veteran players, busts or mainly fringe KMHL players. Yeah, it was a busy off season for Verilyier, who had either bought out or traded the majority of these players acquired by the previous GM. Of course there was that pretty big trade right before free agency started, with the Syeir Wizards, where he was nearly steal foreigner Lennox School from the Wizards in return for only a 2017 3rd Round Pick.
There was a knock at the door. Verilyier called for the person to enter. Nearly falling out of his seat, Verilyier stood up to stand face-to-face with Ilrisk Frisejak, owner of the Norkodsav Raiders. Frisejak warmly smiled at his new General Manager before taking one of the two empty seats in front of Verilyier's desk.
"What can I do for you Mr. Frisejak?" Verilyier asked his boss, leaning back in his chair.
"I want to tell you my expectations for this season." Frisejak smiled, keeping his positive attitude. "Contend for the playoffs this year. I've invested a ton of money into your off season plans, so I'm expecting a very good run this year."
"With all due respect sir, this team is not ready. We're in a rebuilding stage, where we need to get talent through the draft. I can't fully expect us to contend for the Grajoser Cup this year, not yet." Verilyier answered, astonished at the ridiculous expectations. "Maybe in the next two years we might start to contend for the playoffs, never mind the cup itself."
"Doesn't matter, why did I hire you?" Frisejak asked Verilyier, who shuffled nervously. "Exactly, to win as many Grajoser Cups as possible."
"Mr. Frisejak-"
"Call me Ilrisk, there's not too much formality here." Frisejak leaned back, a smug look beginning to form on his face.
"Ilrisk, again, the team is not ready. If we push our young players too hard, they might crack underneath the pressure. At least consult with your hockey experts: your coaches, scouts and myself." Verilyier quickly replied. "Again, we're not ready for this year, it's not our year yet."
"Whatever." Frisejak got up, scoffing at what Verilyier said. "Contend for the cup."
He left, shutting the door behind him. Once Verilyier was sure Frisejak was out of earshot, he cursed his name. Who did he think he was? Obviously Verilyier had been hired to fix this shitty situation, but he was being treated like shit, and being given shit expectations. He huffed, before tapping the keys on his laptop, sending multiple emails out to the foreign players he had signed earlier. He knew that a few of them would make the roster right away: Bill Blanc, Johan Lindley, Lennox School, so he needed them to get settled.
