i think we all would like to know when McQueen will be back and is Eskit on a long term IR? Three goalies of which 2 are 19? Hmm

What happened to Eskit.? Tough decision. If Eskit is out long term then likely no trade of a goalie.As far as McQueen, his injury must be similar to Cayden Lindstrom of MH who has missed a huge amount of time with a back issue. Vilardi of the Jets also had back issues in the past, and he is back better than ever. So there is hope for McQueen.

Ravendahl traded to Kamloops for a draft pick. Not really surprising as the young 16 yr old d men have passed him on the depth chart. Wish him well in Kamloops.

Not surprised they moved on from Elick, guy looked like he didn't want to be here. CBus must have had something to do with this because the guy isn't developing. But they got a nice return. Gavin will produce offense and help the powerplay and Arpin is a big body on the right side who can log some minutes with the young guys.

I think they set themselves up nicely for next year and when this team gets fully healthy they won't be an easy out in the playoffs

Team is getting healthier which is positive as they head out on an extensive road trip to B.C. Road trip could go a long way to determining where the team finishes in the standings. Good to see Murray not afraid to make trades. He is setting up the team well for next year without sacrificing his high draft picks this year. Sure would be nice to somehow obtain the # 1 pick in the draft to get Schultz from Regina Pat Canadians so he and his buddy Surkan could play together with the WK.Wouldn’t be surprised if he applies for exceptional status like DuPont did to play in the Dub next year. He is that good..

Totally agree all around here. If Gavin can pick up his game a bit along side Nguyen's speed they can be a nice duo, assuming they get put together. I like that they are both 18 so we have them for a year plus. So Elick and a 3rd for this return I feel is an A trade. I wish the best for Elick. Maybe he needed that new team outlook to help him get back to what he can do on a regular basis.

I was thinking the same thing but I doubt Regina or MJ will trade that pick. Local boy Reid Nicol would be a good one though

Problem with the draft is the WK picks will be mid round picks so even Nichol may be out of reach. Do you think Regina or MJ would take someone like Gradey Hope and both 1st rounders for the #1 pick.?
