Press Release from Blades website:
http://www.saskatoonblades.com/News/Blades_News/695/
The Saskatoon Blades have traded Chris Langkow to the Everett Silvertips for a 6th round Bantam Draft pick in 2010 and a 3rd round Bantam Draft pick in 2011.
Langkow, a 20-year-old forward, was eighth in scoring for the Blades last season with 15 goals and 34 assists for 49 points in 70 games played and added 52 penalty minutes. In 7 postseason games, the native of Vegreville, Alberta had 2 goals and 3 assists for points to go along with 2 penalty minutes. So far this season the 6’1, 190-pound Langkow has played in one game, going pointless with 2 penalty minutes.
Langkow was previously acquired by the Blades from the Spokane Chiefs along with forward Burke Gallimore and a conditional 3rd Bantam Draft pick in 2009 for forward Justin McCrae on January 7th, 2008. The Chiefs originally selected him in the 5th round (96th overall) in the 2004 WHL Bantam Draft.
“Chris was part of one of the bigger trades we have made when we acquired him from Spokane. In his time here he has been an important member of our hockey club,” commented Blades General Manager and Head Coach Lorne Molleken. “I personally want to wish him all the best in his future and in his time with Everett.”
The Blades are next in action on Wednesday against the Regina Pats at the Brandt Centre in Regina. On Friday, the Blades opened the 2009-10 regular season with a convincing 5-1 victory over the Pats.
The next home game is next Friday, September 25th, when the Blades clash with the Edmonton Oil Kings at Credit Union Centre. Puck drop is 7:05 pm. Tickets are available online at ticketmaster.ca, by calling 938-7800, or by visiting any Ticketmaster location.
I think the situation is cleared up now OA's: Hulak,Kytnar,and Wintoneak
Imports: Niemi & Kytnar.
Ok so this trade probably means that Kytnar is staying with the Blades and that Gustafsson is gone. Which is what I was kind of hoping would happen and no I did not want to see any player leave because they are all good hockey players but it is just part of hockey when you are in a situation and you need to get down to a certain number of players you are forced to do that. Molleken is doing what is best for the Saskatoon Blades. I hope that Langkow finds success with the Silvertips.
What are everyone else's thoughts?
