The Moose Jaw Warriors have filled out their overage group with the addition of Jadon Joseph from the Vancouver Giants in exchange for a third-round pick in 2020 and a conditional fifth-round pick in 2022, that could become a 2021 pick.
Joseph is six-foot-one and weighs 180 pounds bounced around the league last year spending time with the Lethbridge Hurricanes, Regina Pats, and Vancouver Giants. In 68 regular-season games, he registered 22 goals and 23 assists.
Barring a surprise return from Justin Almeida (Pittsburgh Penguins signed prospect) or Josh Brook (Montreal Canadiens signed prospect) the Warriors appear to be entering the 2019-20 season with an overage group that will consist of Joseph, forward Luke Ormsby and goaltender Bailey Brkin. The Giants now have five overage players: forwards Milos Roman, Owen Hardy, and Brayden Watts, defenseman Dylan Plouffe, and goaltender David Tendeck. Roman and Tendeck could turn pro with the Calgary Flames and Arizona Coyotes respectively. However, at this point it is likely they will both return to the WHL so the Giants will need to make at least two more moves.
