The Broncos sent 18 year old defenseman Paul Postma and 19 year old winger Kyle Bortis to the Hitmen in exchange for 19 year old forward Keegan Dansereau and 18 year old defenseman Brett Plouffe.
Dansereau moved (http://www.whl.ca/news/?id=7551)
“We are very excited to add both Paul and Kyle to our line-up,” said Kisio. “Postma is a good, solid, puck moving defenceman who will help solidify our defence, while Bortis is a skilled forward who will provide both scoring and depth to our team.
Bortis is in his third WHL season and was the Broncos first round pick (16th overall) in the 2003 WHL Bantam Draft. He had a break-out campaign in Swift Current last season scoring 18 goals.
Postma also had a strong 2006-07 season. The mobile rearguard possesses a great shot and was drafted by the Atlanta Thrashers (7th round) in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
I must say, I am disappointed to see Keegan move on but whatever happened between the player and the team resulted in this move. All the best to Keegan in Speedy Creek. I am interested to read what Bronco fans have to say about Bortis and Postma.
