Blades press conference

Saskatoon has called a press conference for 2pm CST (that is 2 hours before the trade deadline) to "discuss the trade deadline".

Brandon play-by-play voice Bruce Luebke is reporting that the deal is done and Schenn is to be in attendance at the press conference in Saskatoon. Guess the only thing left now is to find out what price was actually paid. I'm hearing two players and three picks. We'll see for sure I guess.

Somewhat unusual for the Blades to be holding the press conference two hours before the deadline passes though - unless this is all they're doing and they're done now.

The Blazers have something in the fire but I'm not sure it's irons..lol

I have nothing against either Brandon or Saskatoon but if league policy is to wait until the deadline has passed, why are they allowing a 2pm press conference? Isn't that a violation of league policy? Oh ya I forgot; they routinely violate their own policy. Dont they have a policy against denying reporters access to players and coaches? When money people like Giglardi tell Robison to jump, he replies "how high?". I am ashamed to say it but the Globe and Mail wasn't wrong about it's depiction of the WHL.
