The Blazers and Pats completed a trade last night, following the conclusion of Regina's game.
The Pats have sent overage forward Thomas Frazee to the Blazers, in exchange for overage forward Shayne Neigum, 17 year old forward Lyndon Martell, and Kamloops' 2012 3rd round bantam pick.
The deal continues the Pats' rebuild process, hot on the heels of moving out Carter Ashton last week. Frazee was 2nd on the Pats in scoring with 13 goals and 37 points, and his size and skill will be a big plus to the Blazers, who are trying to stay afloat in the ultra-competitive Western Conference.
The happiest guy in the league about these two Pats deals has to be Lethbridge G.M. Rich Preston. Lethbridge owns Regina's 2011 first round bantam pick, and as the Pats ship out their veterans and rebuild, they are going to stay at the bottom of the league. Which means that pick the Canes own could very well be a top 2 or 3 overall pick.....maybe even #1 overall.
