Minor trade today between Calgary and Tri-City.....the Hitmen send 19 year old defenceman Scott Maetche to the Americans for a conditional 2009 7th round bantam pick. The condition is probably that Maetche still be in the WHL past the January 10 roster deadline, or some such date.
Maetche made the Hitmen this year on a tryout after spending 06-07 with Chilliwack but being cut by the Bruins early in 07-08. 6th/7th defenceman at best at this level probably. Not a bad deal for both teams as Tri-City gets a guy who adds some depth to their blueline and the Hitmen get a draft pick for a surplus player who cost them nothing.
