Wow just saw that trade the Canes made tonight... what were they thinking? Traded Merkley for a 19 year old grinder and a 3rd rounder to a team they're jockeying for playoff position with. I think they managed to trade a 17 year old for a 19 year old and actually still get worse. I imagine they were desperate for toughness but just a couple weeks after Kamloops picked up Kessy for pennies on the dollar.... that one is going to sting for a few years. Even though they don't need another centre wish Kelowna would have gotten in on Merkley at that price.
