He seemed to play decent defense for Spokane this year, but with 8 defensemen I guess he was the odd man out. So essentially, the Chiefs traded their 6th round pick in next year's draft for the Hat's 5th round pick. Good old Speltz :spineyes:

Tigers Obtain Defenseman from Spokane
Created: Oct 25, 2007
Medicine Hat, AB – Medicine Hat Tigers this afternoon announced the acquisition of 18-year-old defenseman Patrick Kozyra from the Spokane Chiefs.
The Tigers will give up their fifth round pick in the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft in getting Kozyra.
Kozyra spend the 2005-06 season with the Red Deer Rebels before being traded to the Spokane Chiefs prior to this season. The 6' 2", 197 lbs defenseman hails from Sherwood Park, AB where he played his minor hockey at the AAA level in both bantam and midget major leagues. He was originally drafted by the Rebels in the 2004 WHL Bantam Draft in the fourth round, 76th overall.
"We're excited to get Pat in," said Tigers' gm/head coach Willie Desjardins. "He's a good player who has experience in our league. He gives us real good depth on defense. Right now, we're playing with seven guys and injuries come along you can certainly find yourself short on D. We are looking forward to having Pat in our line up in Cranbrook tomorrow night," stated Desjardins.
