The Bloomfield Trade: An inside look

Roughly around the end of last season, my future in Baltimore was quite questionable. The following season was going to be the last on the contract that I signed after the SHL Draft, in which I was taken 42nd Overall. I had played 2 games for Baltimore (1 Regular and 1 Preseason) before the trade, winning both with a good SV% and GAA. But I couldn't help but notice that something was afoot. It was just a hunch, but I felt like I was on my way out. No one really said anything that would imply that my departure was imminent, but I still had an inkling. I knew that @Zoone16 wanted to start 44 games a season, and that I was slightly in the way of that, sort of like a challenger. When he was appointed Co-GM, I knew I was fucked. 

Sure enough, not long afterwards I received a line from @JR95. He put it commendably nicely that my services were no longer required and that it was only a matter of time before I would get moved on. I decided to pull the plug and ask for a trade. I was quite looking forward to knowing what teams thought my value was.

I did a double take. Surely not. Wow. Every single SHL news outlet was regurgitating the news. Some called it a heist, some just plainly didn't understand. I got a few goodbye messages from the guys in Baltimore, which I found nice. However, I was still really shocked about the value of the trade. I ended up just shrugging my shoulders and getting on with it.

The hype regarding the trade died down as quickly as it came about. I'm glad I joined Edmonton, as I know that they will use me to my full potential.
