I've finally finished my latest WHL pet project here - tracking down which draft picks each WHL team has traded and acquired. I've done this before but this time I'm putting all the information into a spreadsheet for easy sorting, if you're so inclined.
You can see the spreadsheet here.
A few things to note...
- I do not guarantee the accuracy of this. This is my best efforts only; given the lack of information provided about many conditional trades and conditionally traded picks, I can not possibly have everything right.
- Oftentimes a team will trade a "2015 4th round pick" (for example) but they own more than one thanks to previous trades. The league rarely, if ever, specifies which of the picks they are trading. In every case on this spreadsheet, I have always assumed the first pick traded is the team's own pick, if they have it. If they don't have their own pick anymore, then I assume the next pick traded is the one they've had the longest, and so on. This is obviously not going to be correct all the time. Where it is possible they traded a different team's pick, I have tried to note that. Bottom line though, I would pay more weight to the number of picks each team owns in each round and less to which teams' picks they own as there is a good chance some of those are wrong.
- it would be nice if the WHL could start specifying which team's picks are involved in trades. The OHL does this (see their transaction page) and so does the QMJHL (their transactions page) so I would think the WHL could do this as well.
- for the most part I used the WHL transactions page to gather details of the trades over the years, and further researched some trades as necessary. There have been trades which for whatever reason are not on the WHL transactions page and so it it quite likely I am missing some. Which leads me to....
- this is a collaborative effort. As with many other things I've done here on the blog, I could not make them as accurate as possible without the help of many contributors who point out things I've missed or erred on. Thank you. And if you see something you believe is wrong or which I've missed, please do point them out. There's an email address, as well as my Twitter name, over there on the right and you can use either to get ahold of me.
Thanks to all who helped me out. Enjoy.

WHL roster breakdown
Time again this year for a breakdown of each team's roster, with average heights, weights, and ages, plus the breakdown of the number of 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 year olds on each roster and how many of the players on the roster are rookies (less than 25 games in the WHL) or imports.
I'll update this as cuts or trades are made. Last update was January 10.
I have also made this chart available in a spreadsheet, so you can go in and easily sort on the various columns, or copy-and-paste the data to your own documents if you like. There's a few extra goodies on that spreadsheet as well (career games played and goals scored) which don't appear on this chart here.
