Prompt 2:
One of the major tipping points of Reid's career was when he decided that he would leave the Winnipeg Jets and become a Free Agent. He asked to work with the then general manager, Kez, to be moved on, as he was wanting to take pitches from other teams. Kez decided to let Reid have an early FA, and then he would get traded to the team he chose, to recoup some assets. This was a pivotal time for Winnipeg, as they were just about to announce their rebranding to the Aurora, and they had just made the first sorta deep run to the playoffs since Reid had been drafted. In a different universe, Reid could have chosen to stay with Winnipeg, which might have delayed their collapse. Reid also had a tough choice, where he could have chosen Manhattan, as his good pal JY was in charge there. That ended up in a rebuild once Timmonen got traded, and Reid likely would have been jettisoned from there as well. Reid also could have gone to Texas or Hamilton, and likely would have won a cup or two on the way. Ulitmatley Reid chose to go to Seattle to team up with his Juniors GM and friend Tig, which has profited them greatly, building a strong team which clinched 1st in the division this season. He is now a co GM, and easily made the best chocie for his career Thanks Wasty, Carpy, JSS, TurdFerguson, Geekusoid and Awesomecakes for the sigs!
