Another trade by the Americans tonight - the last deal was with the Prince George Cougars yesterday, and tonight they swing a deal with the new team in the Cougars' old locale.
Victoria has sent 18 year old defenceman Mitch Topping to the Americans, and in return the Americans send 16 year old forward Justin Spagrud and a 2013 2nd round bantam pick to the Royals.
The deal lands the Americans a pretty good defenceman - Topping was Victoria's 1st round pick in the 2008 bantam draft - but at the price of a 2nd round bantam pick and a pretty good prospect - Spagrud was Tri-City's 3rd round pick in the 2010 bantam draft.
For Victoria, they had 7 defencemen aged 18 or older on the roster and obviously feel they can get by with one less, which also opening a spot for a younger player and acquiring some good pieces for the future. Could be a deal which helps both teams here.
