Blazers acquire Herrod from Raiders

[Malc]

The Kamloops Blazers announced that they have acquired 20-year old RW Brandon Herrod from the Prince Albert Raiders in exchange for 17-year-old C Logan McVeigh and the Blazers’ 2nd round draft pick in the 2012 Bantam Draft.

“We are elated to add Brandon to our lineup. He is an experienced leader – serving as captain of the Raiders - and was voted as their playoff MVP last season. He is a proven scorer in our league and is known as a solid, character player. He will be a welcome addition to our team, and with a career spanning 314 games in the WHL to date we expect to benefit greatly from his experience,” said Blazers General Manager Craig Bonner.

a very nice deal for the Blazers but will have to add at least 1 more piece (maybe not a big piece) a deal to give them abit more size would be good.

He has already played a game, scored a goal and had a fight :)

So far so good, Brandon is going to be a big asset to this team going forward. Adding Jordan DePape when he's ready in February is like adding a 30 goal 2 way forward for nothing at the trade deadline. Should be interesting to see what the Blazers do at the deadline.
