Major trade

Wow....and I thought Kyle Beach wasn't getting dealt. I was wrong, because Everett just sent Beach and 19 year old defenceman Mike Alexander to Lethbridge for 16 year old defenceman Alex Theriau, 18 year old forward Dan Iwanski, and Lethbridge's 2009 first round bantam pick.

Lethbridge has obviously made the decision that this is their year, because they just gave up two first round picks for Beach, basically. Iwanski for Alexander is kind of a wash, a couple decent but not spectacular players.

No mention of additional compensation for Everett if Beach returns to the WHL next year, but there probably isn't any because Theriau and a first rounder is more than fair for a year and a half of Beach.
