Wheaties make 2 deals

[Triton]

One they trade Leblanc and a 5th rounder to Calgary for Kohn,and trade Mike Cann to Lethbridge for a 2nd round pick.

So what is the scope on Cann? Why are the Wheat Kings giving up on him? What should we expect from him here in Lethbridge ?

[Joe Hallenback]

Cann I think for us has been a big disappointment. Hes not overly Big nor is he a great offensive defensivemen. I think we were expecting more out of first round pick. Maybe a change of scenery will elevate his game. Getting a second round pick is pretty good return for a guy who will probably never live up to his potential. Cann was expendable with the Emergence of guys like Aulie and Erb who are both bigger and more solid in there own end.

Really sorry to see Leblanc go. He was one of my favourite players but he was pretty much relegated to the third line here. Hopefully Kohn can add that offensive spark to our blueline that we are lacking especially on the powerplay.

I don't mind the Kohn deal but I think we could have got rid of Louis instead of Cann and given Cann one more year.I hope Aulie isn't a bust either.

[Joe Hallenback]

Aulie's been alot better then Cann was as a 16 year old. If his footspeed gets better he will be a solid shutdown defenseman. I think he has improved alot in the last 10 games compared to his first 10.

As you know I was not a big Cann fan. He just doesnt really do much out on the Ice and Boyle who was drafted much later has clearly surpassed him

[Dwight Schrute]

looks like you guys did quite well on the kohn deal
