Davos steers through cap hell, primed for season 45 By: Frank Bagonogal Throughout the offseason, HC Davos General Manager Jack Reily knew he had a difficult task in front of him. At the conclusion of the playoffs, he was aware of the situation that would face him over the next few days. Sitting at $37,5000,00 (or $5,500,000) over cap due to general player progression as well as a kid season acquisition of James Faraday, the first move Reilly was forced into was losing 3 year Dynamo player, Kurtis Hunter, who has just begun a rebirth to his career. Hunter was exchanged for the very promising Simon Valmount from Finland, cutting HC Davos salary back down to $35,250,000 and still work to do. The next player to go surprised many. As the captain for the Dynamo for the past three seasons, Gifford Shock was expected to be a Davos lifer. Shock was exchanged straight up for the S47 COL 1st. "It was tough to part with Gifford, but he was a player that fell behind our other centers unfortunately," Reilly stated, "We just had to make a move." Down to $32,250,000. The next transaction involved a couple of younger players changing teams, with Dynamo prospect Giovanni Reuel being exchanged for another prospect - Maxime Perron. Helsinki needed to unload a talented youngster due to a surprise requirement to bring up Perron, so the Dynamo were pleased to bring in a slightly more promising prospect. The Dynamo also sent a 3rd Helsinki's way. Back up to $33,250,000. The final domino to fall was defender Joshua Rubin. "This was another difficult decision to make, because Rubin has skill as an offensive d-man, and he was pretty cap friendly to boot. Davos acquired another S47 1st pick (although it likely to be a later one as it is Helsinki's) from Cologne, and the roller coaster had finally reached its stopping point. Jack Reilly had this to say: "To sum up, we exchanged some older talent for some younger, maybe less developed talent, along with some future picks which we could use and keep building the team. Overall, pretty happy with the way the offseason went."

Biography – Freedom McJustice Name : Freedom McJustice Position : Left Wing Age : 21 Height : 6'4 Weight : 225lbs Handness : Left Birthplace : Springfield, IL Team : HC Davos Dynamo Early Life Freedom was born in the heartland of America, central Illinois. Although he was born in Springfield, the McJustice family picked up their roots and moved north to the northern suburbs of Chicago just a few weeks after he was born. Although the move occurred due to a change in business and career for Freedom’s father, it also proved to be beneficial for his hockey outlook. Although we will never know how things would have panned out for this player had he stayed in Springfield, let’s just say the pools of talent are starkly different. Growing up around the excitement of the re-invigoration of the Chicago Blackhawks (and Stanley Cup wins in 2010, 2013 and 2015), McJustice laced up his first pair of skates at age 5. Soon after, he began excelling at the Youth stages, moving up from one travel organization to another, from one age group to the next. Although his father never played hockey, the sport came naturally to Freedom. His mother’s side of the family was more acquainted with the sport, his uncle playing hockey at the University of Notre Dame and his grandfather playing at Yale. McJustice was regarded as one of the more physically impressive players, stronger and faster than most his age. High School / Juniors McJustice enrolled at Fenwick Academy, a school well-regarded for its academics and hockey program. For his first few years, Freedom played on the Varsity team – a rarity for an under classman. He was able to play meaningfully with the Friars top line, leading the team deep into the IHSA playoffs and ranking among the team leaders in goals as well as assists. In his sophomore season, McJustice was named an alternate captain and led the state in goals scored. Freedom netted two goals in the state championship, including the game winner with just 43 seconds remaining in the game. After his sophomore season, Freedom participated in the AAA hockey organizations, playing for Team Illinois at an age division two years higher than his class. Playing in AAA hockey disallowed him to play at the high school level. McJustice later called the decision to leave high school hockey, “one of the toughest decisions [he’s] ever had to make.” The young forward went onto excel with Team Illinois, drawing attention around the nation in different scouting circuits. Throughout the next few years, McJustice established himself as one of the top prospects in the United States. His next move would to the USHL for some prep league action. In the USHL, he was drafted first overall by the Waterloo Hawks. “Moving to Waterloo was tough for me,” Freedom reflected, “Waterloo was a pretty small town without a ton going on. Living with the host family was a new experience; they were super nice, but it’s difficult to be away from family and friends. The only people you really know are the guys on the team and then your host family. I did a lot of growing up in those formative years.” McJustice struggled in his first season in the USHL, but grew into one of the best players in the league during his second campaign. In his final season with Waterloo, McJustice was voted as the Most Valuable Player by league coaches. Moving to the Professional Ranks, Pt I When looking at his option for a professional move, McJustice took a look at a few leagues, but settled on taking his talents to the Victory Hockey League. As a way of entering the VHL, McJustice first had to prove himself at the minor league level. During his first season, he declared shortly after the trade deadline and was able to be acquired by the Oslo Storm in the waiver wire alongside future teammate Bismarck Koenig. McJustice struggled to acclimate in the minor leagues, scoring only 4 points in 15 regular season games. The playoffs didn’t go much better, as Freedom only mustered 1 point in 6 games in a series the Storm would go onto lose. The next season, McJustice bounced back with an impressive 125 points with the Yukon Rush [2 Gud]. Unfortunately, the Rush succumbed to the Bratislava Watchmen in the Founders Cup Finals, but McJustice was able to contribute 9 points in 12 games with an overall solid series. Moving to the Professional Ranks, Part II The 21 year old was acquired by HC Davos in the S42 off-season, and came in with high expectations as a player. During his rookie season, he put up moderately respectable numbers, posting 50 points in 72 games with the Dynamo. Unfortunately, HC Davos missed the playoffs in his rookie season, but Freedom picked up some useful notes along the campaign. “I thought I had a solid first season,” he said after the year wrapped up, “Playing with guys like Sundberg and Koenig on the first line was a tremendous experience.” At the start of the S43 off-season, HC Davos parted ways with the longtime linemate of McJustice, trading Bismarck Koenig away to the Cologne Express in exchange for arguably the top defender in the game. The second-year forward had a moderate improvement in his production, posting 56 points with a +31 rating on the ice – impressive for anyone in the VHL. The Dynamo were able to make their way into the playoffs, but were taken down by the Cologne Express, who went onto sweep the Stockholm Vikings before being upset in the finals by the Seattle Bears. Heading into S44, HC Davos was expected to start making some serious noise – which they did – in one of the more competitive EU seasons in history. All three teams at the top – Cologne, Stockholm, HC Davos – were tremendous from the start of the year to the finish. The way the season finished, The Dynamo were the third seed in the regular season standings, looking up at Stockholm (2nd) and Cologne (1st). He saw an undoubted uptick in his third season, averaging nearly a point per game with 69 on the season. McJustice also had an overall solid playoffs, posting five points in seven games against the heavily favored Stockholm Vikings. The Dynamo came ever so close to pulling off the upset, and the team was able to keep their chin up as they skated once again into the off-season without a trophy. Looking toward S45, the ever-improving Freedom McJustice is viewed to be a top candidate at Most Improved player. HC Davos also had a productive off-season, maneuvering some difficult waters in cap trouble, and the Dynamo have a solid roster looking into this season. Hopefully for McJustice, he’ll get his first major trophy.

receives: S47 HSK 1st receives Joshua Rubin S47 DAV 2nd another cap casualty. thanks for the negotiations, Mr. Power. Helsinki is looking pretty good for S47, so although this is looking like a later pick, hoping some recruiting occurs between now and then.

Davos loves JP

Part 1 of 42; in all seriousness, will miss Glaciem as well. Good dude going to a good team with a good locker room. Best of luck moving forward young fella.

Thanks for the response to my PM boomer

glad we all came (!) to an agreement

i did get a PM so i will stay away

This - would be completely nonsensical to hold Quebec hostage while a "i dunno tbd" response is pending from the other team.

this one is nice

where's that explicitly stated? i would think both parties need to accept at some same point in time as information can drastically change. not fair for one team to wait. can boubabi just wait an eternity to accept this trade?

highly offensive. need new treasurer ASAP - he doesn't know what he's doing anyway
