Several CHL teams make big deals leading up to trade deadline
When Windsor Spitfires general manager Bill Bower learned that Shane Wright might be coming back to the Ontario Hockey League, he knew he had to start making some inquiries.
“When you’re sitting where we were as a hockey club in the standings, and a Shane Wright is available, you just weigh the options and make some decisions,” said Bower on Tuesday shortly after the OHL’s trade deadline passed. “You take all the information in and to me it’s a calculated risk that our team and our management felt made sense.
With the Spitfires sitting atop the OHL’s West Division, Bower said it was time to get aggressive, even if it seemed like Windsor was giving up a lot of its future potential. In the Western Hockey League, the Kamloops Blazers got defenceman Olen Zellweger – another member of Canada’s world junior team – and forward Ryan Hofer, both NHL prospects from the Everett Silvertips on Sunday for forward Drew Englot, defencemen Kaden Hammell and Rylan Pearce, prospect Jack Bakker, and nine selections in future WHL Prospects Drafts as well as one conditional pick.
