The Marc MacKenzie versus the Raiders saga is over as quickly as it began - the Raiders have dealt MacKenzie to the Chilliwack Bruins for a 2011 12th round bantam pick.
If all they could get for him was a 12th round pick (which is next to nothing), it would appear his value around the league was not quite as high as I had thought it was. But, he'll get a chance in Chilliwack to prove he was worth more consideration than what he thought he was getting from Prince Albert.

do you actually think he talked to anyone other than Chilliwack? He traded Penner to Chilliwack for a 13th after dragging things out for a year. Could have had a 2nd or a mid round pick and a player the year before. Traded Persley to Chilliwack for a 12th and the next day he is on their roster as a 16 year old. Now he trades this guy for a 12th. Kid is a pretty good player and a big tough kid. Worth a 3rd at least.
I guess Campese really showed him. the Raiders get nothing back again, and this kid goes to a team with a reputable coach. I'm pretty sure I know who came out ahead here.
The raiders are sure going to have a lot of those 12th round picks to work with. Didn't Kelly Mac actually draft into the 12th round last year. Surprized he had room on his list.
Hey I far as I can see, both sides deserve each other. I guess the kid can get some ice in Chilliwack and see if he really is what he and his dad believe he is.
Shameful
