The Cougars acquired 17-year-old LW Jordie Deagle, a former first-round draft choice, from Medicine Hat on Thursday for a third-round draft choice and the rights to list player Tyler Gron, 17. Deagle, who had no points in 14 games last season but had two goals and four assists in five exhibition games this year, was expected to have a breakout season in the WHL this year, according to articles in the Medicine Hat News. Deagle played bantam hockey with Dana Tyrell. Deagle, six-foot and 187 pounds, will be in town in time for tonight’s game. C Michael Iorio, 18, was released Thursday to make room for Deagle.

I'm kind of sad to see Iorio cut loose. I thought he would have ahd a pretty good shot at making the team this season.
