Big day at WHL head offices today as the WHL's Board of Governors hold meetings today. They are expected to approve the sale of the Portland Winter Hawks to Calgary oilman Bill Gallacher, and they will also award the 2010 Memorial Cup hosting duties to Brandon. (I'm just guessing on that last one but it seems pretty likely)
Two trades yesterday, Kamloops sent 18 year old defenceman Mark Schneider to Brandon for a 2009 7th round draft pick, and Brandon sent 19 year old goalie Joe Caliguiri to Prince George for a 2009 7th round pick. Prince George then sent backup goalie Ian Curtis to the BCHL.
P.G.'s goalies are now overage Kevin Armstrong, and Caliguiri. Unless they think Caliguiri is good enough to be their starter as an overager next year, the cupboard is looking a little bare in net in Cougarland these days.
Lastly, tomorrow is overage deadline day and four teams (Brandon, Calgary, Lethbridge, and Tri-City) still have one too many on their rosters. With the G.M.'s all together in Calgary yesterday and today, don't be surprised if we see more deals today.....
