Riege to Moose Jaw for a third rounder

[loudi94]

Here's the interesting part:

“The first is to ensure we have a capable player or players who can compete and fulfill the third and fourth line role Brad provided to us. The second goal is to give Brad an opportunity at a fresh start. We had a couple of incidents we believed compromised our program and this should send a clear message to the athletes in camp we are focused on discipline and improving our team through our habits.”
