Hitmen/Blazers deal

Not official yet but I have this from three sources now - Hitmen send '91 forward Chase Schaber and '92 defenceman Austin Madaisky (basically Calgary's 2006 and 2007 first round bantam picks) to Kamloops for Tyler Shattock, Jimmy Bubnick, and Zak Stebner.

Calgary also sends along a conditional draft pick which the Blazers will get if Shattock returns to the WHL next year as an overager.

Again, not official yet though....

So with the Hitmen loading up now, does this put more pressure on other top-five East teams like Saskatoon, Brandon Medicine Hat, Kootenay, etc to also make moves today and keep pace?
