Clinching spots

With the start of February upon us, it's the time of year again when some front-running teams start clinching playoff spots. A quick look at the standings shows us that indeed, three teams in the West could/should clinch their postseason invitations in the next week or so:


 - Kamloops will clinch a spot with 3 wins or Prince George losses

 - Tri-City will clinch a spot with 4 wins or Prince George losses

 - Portland will clinch a spot with 5.5 wins or Prince George losses


(To be perfectly accurate, when I say "clinch a spot" in these cases, I mean they will clinch at least a tie for the last playoff spot in the Western Conference, and therefore at least a 1-game tiebreaker "playoff" game. If you want the number required to clinch a guaranteed playoff spot, add 0.5 games to each number.)

In the East, the spread between the 1st and 9th place teams is not as large as it is in the West, and so there are no teams that close to clinching spots yet. The closest is of course first place Edmonton, who are 10.5 wins or Red Deer losses away from wrapping up a spot.

Deadline early returns

Two weeks have passed now since the WHL trade deadline. Obviously it is very early yet and the true winners and losers of the trades that were made won't be known until after the playoffs - or in many cases, not for several years, when draft picks have turned into players that are either in the league or not.

But for fun, a quick look at how all the players traded since the Christmas break are doing with their new teams:

And perhaps more relevant, how each team has done since the deadline:

Brandon Wheat Kings: 7gp-1-5-0-1 (0.214). Before deadline: 0.561

Calgary Hitmen: 6gp-5-1-0-0 (0.833). Before deadline: 0.573

Edmonton Oil Kings: 6gp-5-1-0-0 (0.833). Before deadline: 0.702

Everett Silvertips: 7gp-3-3-0-1 (0.500). Before deadline: 0.275

Kamloops Blazers: 6gp-6-0-0-0 (1.000). Before deadline: 0.720

Kelowna Rockets: 7gp-3-4-0-0 (0.429). Before deadline: 0.476

Kootenay Ice: 5gp-3-0-2-0 (0.800). Before deadline: 0.634

Lethbridge Hurricanes: 5gp-2-3-0-0 (0.400). Before deadline: 0.375

Medicine Hat Tigers: 5gp-4-1-0-0 (0.800). Before deadline: 0.605

Moose Jaw Warriors: 6gp-3-2-1-0 (0.583). Before deadline: 0.655

Portland Winterhawks: 6gp-4-2-0-0 (0.667). Before deadline: 0.671

Prince Albert Raiders: 4gp-0-4-0-0 (0.000). Before deadline: 0.384

Prince George Cougars: 6gp-2-4-0-0 (0.333). Before deadline: 0.35

Red Deer Rebels: 6gp-2-3-0-1 (0.417). Before deadline: 0.500

Regina Pats: 6gp-3-1-2-0 (0.667). Before deadline: 0.581

Saskatoon Blades: 7gp-6-1-0-0 (0.857). Before deadline: 0.573

Seattle Thunderbirds: 7gp-1-5-1-0 (0.214). Before deadline: 0.434

Spokane Chiefs: 7gp-5-1-1-0 (0.786). Before deadline: 0.592

Swift Current Broncos: 5gp-2-3-0-0 (0.400). Before deadline: 0.440

Tri-City Americans: 7gp-2-4-0-1 (0.357). Before deadline: 0.821

Vancouver Giants: 7gp-3-3-0-1 (0.500). Before deadline: 0.634

Victoria Royals: 6gp-2-4-0-0 (0.333). Before deadline: 0.369

You can see that Saskatoon, Kamloops, Calgary, and Everett are the four most improved teams since the deadline. It's funny since only one of those teams made moves to load up their roster. The others were sellers, tinkerers, or stand-pat types.

The teams with the biggest dip in their win percentage since the deadline are Tri-City, Prince Albert, Brandon, and Seattle. Again, somewhat unexpected to see Brandon in there since they made one of the biggest splashes at the deadline in acquiring Sundher. Tri-City was a buyer too, although only in a minor way (Mychan) since Brett Connolly is still in the NHL. 

Seattle claims Wagner

Seattle has claimed overage forward Dillon Wagner after he was released yesterday by Portland.

I assume that in order to stay at 3 overagers this means the T-Birds are releasing Kyle Verdino, who was believed to be lost for the season with an injury anyway.

A few more moves

Just cleaning up some other roster moves that were made by WHL clubs yesterday. Not trades, but a number of players were released, reassigned, added from junior A, etc:

Released:

 - Everett released '93 import forward Vladimir Dolnik. I believe he is returning home to Slovakia. 5 pts in 27 games in the WHL.

 - Portland released overage forward Dillon Wagner. This move was necessary in order to add newly acquired overage forward Cam Reid to the roster.

 - Seattle released '92 forward Sean Aschim. According to the team, this was done at Aschim's request, who didn't feel he would get as much playing time the 2nd half of the season as he would like. He is headed back to the Saskatchewan Jr A league.

Reassigned:

 - Everett sent '93 forward Matt Grant to the BCHL and '94 defenceman Darian Henry to the AJHL.

 - Prince Albert sent '93 defenceman Mathew Berry-Lamontagna to the BCHL.

 - Prince George assigned '94 defenceman Josh Smith to the AJHL. Smith was Prince George's first round bantam pick, 19th overall, in 2009. I don't think they are giving up on him, just wanting him to get more ice time for the rest of this season than he would get in P.G.

 - Regina sent '94 defenceman Landon Peel to the MJHL and '93 defenceman Nathan Zimbaluk to the SJHL.

Players added:

 - Prince George added '93 forward John Odgers. (yes, he is the son of former NHLer Jeff Odgers)


 - Spokane added '92 forward Dylan Walchuk. Walchuk started the season in the NCAA with Northern Michigan but was another one of the players caught up in the alleged bike theft ring that involved several members of the hockey team - including defenceman Eric Walker, who joined the Vancouver Giants earlier this year after the incident. Walchuk was a point a game player in the BCHL and should be a good addition to Spokane for the next year and a half.


And one other note to pass along, Everett beat writer Nick Patterson reports that the Everett/Medicine Hat deal which saw Reid Petryk sent to the Silvertips for the rights to Miles Koules also includes a conditional 4th round bantam pick which transfers to either team depending on whether or not Koules reports. Presumably this means that if Koules reports to Medicine Hat by a specified date, the Tigers send the Silvertips a 4th round pick. If Koules does not report to Medicine Hat by the specified date, then the Silvertips send a 4th rounder to the Tigers.

This condition is not reported on the WHL site, but is mentioned in the Silvertips release about the deal.

Noebels to Portland

One more trade to announce and its a doozy: Seattle sends '92 import forward Marcel Noebels to Portland for '93 forward Seth Swenson and Portland's first round picks in the 2012 and 2013 bantam drafts.

Yeah, TWO first round picks for an import forward. Make that an import forward with 10 goals this year (with a -22 rating) who tried to return to Europe this year before being told by his NHL club to play in the WHL. He had 28 goals and a mere -11 last year so clearly his performance is down quite a bit this year.

Two first rounders for this guy? Has the hockey world gone insane?

Two more for the Giants

Two more deals for the Vancouver Giants:

'93 defenceman Eric Walker is dealt to the Swift Current Broncos for a 2012 8th round bantam pick.

'93 goaltender Brendan Jensen is dealt to the Portland Winterhawks for a 2013 6th round pick.

Cougars trade Brett Connolly

In what MIGHT be the biggest deal of the day, the Prince George Cougars have dealt the rights to 19 year old Brett Connolly to the Tri-City Americans. Connolly is currently with the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning, so obviously the Americans will never see him unless the Lightning decide to return him to junior this year.

In return for Connolly's rights, the Americans have given up a 2013 5th round bantam pick, plus conditional 2013 first round and 2014 second round picks. I think it is safe to say that the conditional picks only go to Prince George if Connolly actually returns to the WHL this year.

So, it's a gamble for the Americans - they are giving up a 5th round pick for nothing if Connolly stays in the NHL all year. But if he does return, that'll be a huge piece added to their lineup.

Tigers/Tips deal

Another minor deal: Medicine Hat trades '93 forward Reid Petryk to the Everett Silvertips for the rights to '94 forward Miles Koules.

Koules is with the USNTDP right now. It's interesting though that Koules' father, Hollywood producer Oren Koules, used to play for the Tigers back in the late 70's. Are the Tigers hoping a little family nostalgia will bring the younger Koules north of the border to play?

Ice/Tigers deal

One more trade just before deadline: Kootenay trades 18 year old forward Brendan Hurley to the Medicine Hat Tigers for a 2012 3rd round bantam pick.

Unless there are deals still to be announced now that the deadline is past, it was a pretty quiet day.

Lyon to Kelowna

Appears I guessed the wrong overager was on the way out of Moose Jaw: Kelowna has just announced they have acquired overage forward Brett Lyon from the Warriors.

In return for Lyon, the Warriors receive a 2013 7th round bantam pick and a 2014 5th round bantam pick. Seems.....dirt cheap for a player with Lyons' numbers and pugilistic skills this year?

The trade gave Kelowna four overagers, which they resolved by releasing defenceman Kevin Smith.

Cam Reid update

As per Gregg Drinnan, the Cam Reid-to-Portland deal has more than initially met the eye.

The 2012 8th round pick that was announced as going from Portland to Edmonton for the rights to Reid was a conditional pick. The pick turns into a 2013 2nd round pick if Reid reports to Portland. Since it definitely appears that he is reporting to Portland, we can probably assume Edmonton is getting that 2nd rounder.

Warriors add another captain

Moose Jaw has swung another big deal today, adding another team's overage captain for the 2nd time in as many days. Yesterday it was Cam Braes from Lethbridge, and today they have picked up James Henry from the Vancouver Giants for a 2012 2nd round bantam pick and a 2014 3rd round bantam pick.

The Warriors now have four overagers - besides Henry and Braes, they also have forwards Brett Lyon and Kenton Miller. I'd have to think Miller is going to be moved very shortly here.

First deal of the day is in....

....and it's a good one, involving two players and six draft picks. Prince George has traded 19 year old import defenceman Martin Marincin to the Regina Pats.

The full deal is:

To Regina:
'92 D Martin Marincin
2012 4th round bantam pick
2012 7th round bantam pick
2013 4th round bantam pick

To Prince George:
'92 D Ricard Blidstrand
2012 1st round bantam pick
2012 2nd round bantam pick
2013 5th round bantam pick

So with this deal, the Pats establish themselves as buyers this year. Which means we can take Jordan Weal off the table, he's not going anywhere today.

Draft pick status

As we head into the last few days before the trade deadline this year, here's something I did last year which proved rather popular at the time: a chart showing how many picks in each round of the next 2 drafts that each WHL team currently holds. So if you're wondering what picks your team (or possible trading partner) has available, here's the answers.

As a disclaimer, this is cobbled together from information in press releases about trades. As such, it may not be 100% accurate since the details of traded picks in those releases are sometimes fuzzy. But it should be close anyway. And as always, corrections are welcome.

More trades

The dominoes have started tumbling, it appears....we have one of the big names on the move tonight, Victoria's Kevin Sundher. The Royals have sent him to the Brandon Wheat Kings in exchange for 18 year old defenceman Jordan Fransoo, 17 year old forward Dakota Conroy, and Brandon's 2012 first round bantam pick.

Brandon, of course, had two first round picks in the 2012 draft so they could make this trade without dropping out of that round. They gave up their own pick here, but they still own Saskatoon's pick from last year's Brayden Schenn trade.

So now the question is, with the Braes trade to Moose Jaw and the Sundher trade to Brandon today, has anything changed in the minds of some other Eastern conference teams as a result? Are there now teams feeling more pressure to buy? More willingness to sell? I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Couple other deals today to make note of:

 - Moose Jaw dealt 19 year old defenceman Tyler Vanscourt to the Vancouver Giants for a 2012 5th round bantam pick. The Giants will be Vanscourt's fourth team this season alone. He started in Spokane, was traded to Prince Albert, then to Moose Jaw, and now Vancouver. The guy has played in three of the four divisions this year.

 - Tri-City dealt 17 year old defenceman Riley Guenther to the Prince Albert Raiders for a 2013 5th round pick. Making a roster spot for some planned acquisitions?

 - and in a seemingly minor deal that could be much more, Edmonton sent the rights to 20 year old forward Cam Reid to Portland for a 2012 8th round pick. Reid is (was) a sophomore at St. Cloud State University but has left school and will join the Hawks. Reid could be an impact player in the WHL for the half season he has remaining in eligibility; I can only assume the dirt-cheap price paid for him is because perhaps he wouldn't leave school for anyone else in the WHL except Portland and after tomorrow the Oil Kings would get nothing for him?

Anyway, since Portland already has three overagers (defenceman William Wrenn and forwards Oliver Gabriel and Dillon Wagner), they must trade or release one of those three by tomorrow. So the Reid deal will at least spur one more move for the Hawks for sure.

Braes to Warriors

Lethbridge and Moose Jaw swing a fairly significant deal this afternoon....Hurricanes send overage forward Cam Braes to the Warriors for a 2012 first round bantam pick and a 2013 second round bantam pick.

Yeah, a first AND a second for an overage player.

And that, more than anything, might explain the lack of trades so far. When the Hurricanes can get two primo draft picks for a half-season player, and the Raiders can get a 2nd rounder and a player who was himself a 2nd rounder (Logan McVeigh) for overager Brandon Herrod a couple weeks ago, then what might the price be for a Weal or a Pickard or a Sundher?

Another note about this deal, the Warriors now have no 2nd, 3rd, or 4th round picks in the 2013 draft. They are going to pay a price for that at some point in the future if they don't make some deals next year to reacquire some picks.

Any minute now....

The WHL trade deadline is just over 24 hours away (3pm MST tomorrow, if my memory serves me correctly) and the last two weeks since the Christmas trade freeze ended have been the quietest deadline build-up in recent memory.

By my count, only seven trades have been made in those two weeks, and none of them have been of the tip-the-balance-of-power sort. Surely there must be more to come, right? We've seen some quiet buildups before, but they always "paid off" us fans with a flurry of trades in the last day or so before the deadline.

Why is it so quiet? Well, there's a lot of possible reasons but my own personal theory is that nothing has happened yet which would encourage the league's current front-runners to make a move. The current leaders - the Edmontons, the Tri-Cities', the Portlands and the like - aren't feeling any pressure to make trades. They are already among the best of the league and if the playoffs started today, they would probably all feel pretty good about their chances of winning the title. What is needed to kickstart a trade frenzy is for a middle-of-the-pack team to make the first bold move and acquire a star, somebody whose addition immediately boosts that team from middle-of-the-pack to possible pack leader status. A Jordan Weal, a Kevin Sundher, a Calvin Pickard. When that happens, then you'll see everyone else in that conference take a long hard look at their own roster and decide if they need to do something themselves to keep up. And then the dominoes start toppling as everyone else follows suit.

In the last few years we've seen the blockbuster deals get started early - Tri-City acquired Carter Ashton before the Christmas break last year. The year before that it was Regina acquiring Ashton before the Christmas break. (I see a trend here - maybe the holdup this season is that Carter Ashton no longer plays in the league). This year there haven't been any yet and unless somebody bites the bullet and makes one soon, there might not be any at all.

Oil Kings land Samuelsson

As per a press release from his Swedish club, MoDo, '94 forward Henrik Samuelsson has decided to leave Sweden and join the Edmonton Oil Kings for the rest of the season.

This is a big add for the Oil Kings, as the 6'2" Samuelsson is one of the top Swedish prospects for the 2012 NHL draft - NHL Central Scouting ranked him #6 amongst Swedish prospects for the draft in their midseason rankings.

As an added bonus for the Oil Kings, it sounds like Samuelsson will NOT count as an import player. This is important since the Oil Kings already have their limit of two imports - forward Kristians Pelss and defenceman Martin Gernat. Samuelsson is an American citizen, grew up mostly in the United States (as he is the son of former NHL player Ulf Samuelsson) and has played for the USA internationally as part of the USNTDP.

The Oil Kings added Samuelsson to their protected list two years ago when he was living in Phoenix while his dad was assistant coach of the Coyotes. That part makes sense since the CHL uses the player's primary place of residence to determine whether or not he's an import. (This is why David Musil of the Vancouver Giants is not considered an import - because his parents moved back to Canada.) So at the time he was listed by the Oil Kings, Samuelsson was clearly a North American player and thus eligible to be listed.

But, the Samuelssons have since moved back to Sweden, where Ulf is the coach of MoDo. So, I'm a little fuzzy on why Henrik is still considered a non-import if his family's primary place of residence is now Sweden. Hopefully the details here will be fleshed out......either way though, this is a good pickup for the Eastern Conference-leading Oil Kings.

Macs wrapup
