Ams-Broncos trade

Small trade made tonight between Swift Current and Tri-City. The Broncos send the rights to 18 year old defenseman Scott Macaulay to Tri-City for a conditional 2009 5th round pick.

Macaulay has his eye on a NCAA scholarship and the fact that the pick is a conditional one probably means the Broncos get nothing if Macaulay never reports to Tri-City. But the Ams are hoping they can convince him to come to the WHL and possibly play with his older brother Blair, who could be one of the Americans' overagers next year. That plus every player on the Americans is from Winnipeg too (like the Macaulays) so playing there is like a minor hockey family reunion.
