Not an earth-shattering trade, but this trade isn't really the reason for this post: the real reason is that by my count, this is the eighth trade the Rebels have made in the last four weeks. Count them:
Sep 24: acquire Matt Bellerive from Vancouver
Sep 25: acquire Brandon Underwood from Regina
Oct 8: Adam Kambeitz/Christian Stockl trade with Saskatoon
Oct 11: acquire Austin Ferguson from Kelowna
Oct 18: send Stephen Hak & Colten Mayor to Regina
Oct 21: acquire Brady Gaudet from Kamloops
Oct 22: send Robinson to Brandon
Only the Denham trade didn't affect the Rebels roster (he's a signed prospect who remains in midget).
To put these numbers in some perspective, the Rebels made four trades in all of last season. The year before, 2010-11, they made only two. So it certainly looks as though Rebels G.M. Brent Sutter is not happy with the roster he inherited from the guys he left in charge of the team while he was coaching in the NHL and is setting out to conduct repairs.
