    COUGARS TRADE WISHART, FULLER
    (Breaking News) Monday, 07 January 2008, 13:41 PST
    Jim Swanson

    The Prince George Cougars have traded defenceman Ty Wishart and winger Evan Fuller, both 19, to the Moose Jaw Warriors.

    Along with them goes the team's third-round choice in the 2008 WHL bantam draft.

    In return, the Cougars get 16-year-old centre Justin Maylan, a native of Calgary who played for Team Pacific in the World Under-18 Hockey Challenge, 18-year-old centre Brad Riege, and Moose Jaw's first-round choice in the 2008 WHL bantam draft.

    More details to come. The WHL trade deadline is Thursday, 2 p.m. local time.

    Is this supposed to be humour? Or Sarcasm? Or an insult? I'm leaning towards the insult.

    Default Sorry Guys

    Thompson is on record as saying that Tyrell is the only intouchable on the team. Cyr will likely graduate a Cougar because their doesn't seem to be many teams humting for a goalie right now, so the return likely wouldn't be that great.

    Hey smiley, you're probably right. Not to many teams looking for a 20 yr old goalie. As for the Tyrell's...if the offer is right, maybe. What do you think?

    Default There's a price for everything.....

    Dana Tyrell would cost someone a ton, as he's got a couple years left in the league. Cory Tyrell is marginal and I'd think they'd maybe like to keep the brother happy so he probably stays.

    Cyr - nice if he could go to a contender, they could call up Danyluk and give Tommy more ice cause' that's probably the tandem for next year. Another hitch here though is if he goes to a contender they likely have a number 1 already, relegating Real to a backup/insurance policy role. While he seems like a team guy who would probably be OK with it, a true contender would be likely to spend one of their 20yp spots on a backup goalie.

    Others unlikely to be moved will be their younger guys with upside (Art Bidlevskii, Cam Cumming, Ryan Kowalski, Dale Hunt).

    Guys I could see moving - Dudas (could go as a power play specialist type to a contender), Deagle, McLean, Haas, maybe Stanfield but he's got some upside. Gardner and Sagert could both go for the right price, but it's tough to get anything for a 20yo and they could both help any team so giving them up for a mid-round pick would be a tough call.

    I do expect more action over the next couple of days, and I expect the team will make up some ground on Kamloops. Schoeneck is a pretty good young coach and if he can get some eager young coachable guys in the room then who knows. At least maybe we'll have fun watching some effort.

    I'm trying to offload someone we don't want...but I see you are too sharp. Should have tried to make the deal with Thompson...he would have went for it.

    Giants have a bit of situation in backup. While Barnstable played very well in Seattle, he is still a 17 year old rookie. What if god forbid (knocks on all wood in reach) something happens to Sexsmith in the playoffs? Need someone of Cyr's experience who can take control. But does Bonner fill an O/A spot for an insurance goalie?

    That and I would like to see Cyr finish his career with dignity and not getting slighted by Dallas Thompson in the papers.

    Default What do the Giants have for 20's??

    That might not be such a bad deal.

    Palazzo's got a couple of years left, we'll need some depth on the blueline with Wishart gone.

    What's the bus like???
