Kennewick, WA – The Tri-City Americans today have traded 18-year-old defenseman Phil Magistrale to the Saskatoon Blades for a 7th round bantam draft choice in the 2006 WHL bantam draft. The Blades immediately shipped Magistrale to the Spokane Chiefs in a separate deal for a 7th round pick in 2007.
The 6’2”, 180 pounder is from Tsawassen, British Columbia and appeared in 32 games for the Americans and had two goals, seven points and 45 penalty minutes. He was a -10 defensively.
“We were faced with a surplus of defenseman with the addition of Knudsen and this allows Phil an opportunity to continue his career in the WHL,” said Americans governor/general manager Bob Tory.
