oof

wdym? this wasnt calgary's pick

Whether I end up losing this trade or not, It's worth the shot. Glade is ASS in davos and cant figure out why, but he excels on other teams. I couldn't sit idly by when we clearly have a scoring problem and glade wasnt making the cut needed. Yeah, i gave up a 1st too, i don't really care, I'm looking to compete NOW

Just wanna point this out.....Wasn't a choice, i was kinda forced into having to do this

Shawn Glade Jr Age: 18 Height: 6'1 Weight: 180 Hometown: Anchorage, Alaska Shawn Glade Jr grew up around the VHL, with his father, Shawn Glade, spending his 7 seasons in the league with Riga, Vancouver, and Davos. While his father was overseas in his first stint with the Davos Dynamo, Glade Jr also left home to join the USNTDP much like his father did as a teen. In his two seasons in Ann Arbor, he was the highest scoring defenseman on the team, whilst playing against men nearly 8 years older than himself. Both seasons with the team he competed on Team USA at World Juniors, however never made it to the semi-finals, coming up short both years. After his two seasons with the program, Glade Jr decided to take his talents to the WHLs Portland Winterhawks, the team he grew up cheering for. Shawn also spent two seasons in Portland, and in his second year he was named alternate captain and was again the team's leading defenseman point-wise. Both seasons the Winterhawks made the playoffs, the first season getting bounced in the second round. However, his second season saw Portland hosting the memorial cup, which meant they were guaranteed a spot in the tournament and the pressure to win the WHL was off. Despite this, Portland finished atop the WHL thanks in part to the play of 18 year old Shawn Glade Jr. The Winterhawks lost in the Western Conference finals to the eventual WHL champions, the Prince Albert Raiders in 6 games. Frustrated with their exit from the playoffs, Portland looked forward to the upcoming memorial cup as a second shot at victory. Heading into the tournament, they were underdogs against the other top tier teams in the tournament, such as the Prince Albert Raiders (WHL), Guelph Storm (OHL), and the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies (QMJHL). Through round-robin play, Glade Jr showed off what he can do on a national stage. Through their first three games, the Winterhawks went 2-1 and Glade Jr recorded 3 goals and 4 assists for 7 points in 3 games, which tied the lead for points. The semi-final matchup saw the Winterhawks match up against their old WHL foe, the Prince Albert Raiders. This time however, Portland got the better of their rival, beating the Raiders 4-1, with Glade Jr contributing 2 goals, including the eventual game winner. The final was set as the Portland Winterhawks would square off against the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies for the Memorial Cup. Yet, hope was dashed when the cinderella story run came to an abrupt end in Double OT, as the Huskies scored from the top of the circle to win the cup. This marked the end of Glade Jr's major junior career, as he decided to forgo the NHL draft and follow his father's footsteps, and declare for the VHL draft. We're about a year out from his VHL draft, so in the meantime he'll sign with a VHLM team and rise his draft stock in the next season to hopefully be noticed by scouts from the big league and make his way onto a VHL roster.

dumb gm rule

I guess this is finally it, what a ride it's been with the first player I ever made on this site. Today marks the day where I am no longer a first gen member Let me get some sappy thank yous out of the way @Smarch: Thank you for signing me the day i joined the site. Joining the Yukon Rush for that cup run was something i'll never forget, even if we did let it slip away... @hedgehog337: Thank you for drafting me and giving me a chance when everyone figured I'd bust. Winning the cup my rookie season was a great feeling and I'd be happy to play for Riga with any future player @Beaviss: Thank you for countless trades and trade talks, and then giving Glade a chance to succeed. Capturing my second continental cup with you to lift the curse was something i wont forget. Hopefully I end up on your team again in the future @Tagger: Thank you for making a podcast just all about me when i complained To my fellow GMs: Thank you for being an awesome group of people that were willing to work with me and show me the ropes when i joined Let's hope my next player is even more successful!

I'll sign for whoever can give good ice time and be competitive everyone is in the running

im about to lose my shit

Every team's can't: Defense Davos's Can: Defense *Still out of a playoff spot*

nah, Glade legit just sucked in Davos and I felt like at the time I got a fair deal. Obviously looking back it was a fuck up, but i mean at least he got a cup?

Trade with vancouver.......play vancouver 3 times in a row. seems good

I have no shame in admitting that I will 100% send Glade to a good team for personal gains

very GRITTY win here

yeah, thats fair, but im not overly worried about winning faceoffs, just producing offense

unless im missing something, gritty is a center

@Sullvino Tough, heartbreaking decision to make, but we're in a win now mode and your production unfortunately wasn't cutting it. i was very willing to stick it out and have you be our 1C, but you just sadly came as the odd one out in terms of this trade. Thank you so much for the past 2 seasons! I never had a negative experience with you, i hope vancouver treats you well, and if they dont then hit me up @eaglesfan036 Welcome aboard! Decided to reunite the Gow brothers! Excited to have you aboard the wild Davos ride that never ends

Do we just have Riga's number?

dammit, another former Davos player is a leader on his new team

broooo

wow, dont see that scoreline often
