Rookie camp opened today, if I find some info I will pass it on.

Kelly Kisio has pulled off some lopsided trades during his time with the Calgary Hitmen.

But the 11th-year GM might have outdone himself at last January's trade deadline.

Kisio, who was eventually selected as the WHL's top executive, was the envy of the league when he was able to get the circuit's top sniper, Joel Broda, from the Moose Jaw Warriors.

It was a rental, sure. But just getting the 53-goal triggerman for the playoff push was a huge move.

Now, seven months later, the Hitmen are dreaming about possibly having the overage forward back for a full season.

Not even Kisio thought it possible.

"With the goals he had put up, we hoped he would continue to do that for us," Kisio said. "And then, the next season, you fly by the seat of your pants."
