And that’s exactly what the Saskatoon Blades and Regina Pats did to kick start Wednesday morning of the 2018 WHL Trade Deadline, striking a three-way deal involving the Medicine Hat Tigers.
The Blades bring in the widest variety of assets, landing 1998-born forward Max Gerlach from the Tigers, overage goaltender Tyler Brown from the Pats and then four draft picks all courtesy of the Pats – first- and second-round picks in 2020, a third-round pick in 2019 and a third-round pick in 2021.
Headed to the Queen City to join the Pats for their Mastercard Memorial Cup run is overage forward Cameron Hebig and 1998-born goaltender Ryan Kubic, both courtesy the Blades.
Rounding out this relatively complex transaction, the Tigers receive 2000-born forward Bryan Lockner from the Regina Pats and two draft picks from the Blades – a first-round pick in 2020 and a second-round pick in 2021.

Not a fan of Clouston but he did a good job of upgrading his 2000 born depth. Bryan Lockener is a very promising young player. Very responsible 2 way player. Odds are he would have been taken in the first 2 rounds if he didnt have the NCAA scholarship to Denver University. Elijah Brown has the the tools to be a PPG in the league with his speed, skill, and creativity. They acquired him another trade for Seattle. Can't also forgot Ryan Chyzowski either.
I still can't figure out why Regina traded Brown for a goalie that has never been near the playoffs and lost the starters job to a 16 yr old. His career save percentage is also in the 800s. Head scratcher for sure.
A Warrior D with Clague, Woo, Brook, Zaitsev, Sosunov and Schuldhaus.... 3 lines that can score. Good lord. lol
So together, Red Deer, Brandon, Calgary and Prince George own 23 of first 66 picks in this year's draft, and 8/22 first round picks in 2019. Sneak preview of the contenders for the 2022-2023 WHL title?
