Cougars quiet on WHL Trade Deadline Day

As the clock struck 2pm, the Prince George Cougars stood pat with its current roster heading into the home stretch run of the 2021-22 WHL season.

The Cats elected not to make a splash today (Monday) at the trade deadline.

However, a pair of their BC Division rivals were working the phones.

The Vancouver Giants made a trio of deals including a package that saw Florida Panthers prospect Justin Sourdif sent to the Edmonton Oil Kings in exchange for 19-year-old forward Jacob Boucher and a pair of 1st round draft picks in 2022 and 2025.

Vancouver also picked up a first-round pick from the Winnipeg Ice for blueliner Tanner Brown.

In addition, the Kamloops Blazers recorded a flurry of activity.

The BC Division leaders dealt 19-year-old scoring forward Josh Pillar to the Saskatoon Blades for second and third-round picks in 2022 and 2024.

Pillar requested the move as he is dealing with a private medical issue.

The Blazers also acquired rugged forward Drew Englot from the Regina Pats for Tye Spencer in a one-for-one swap.

Lastly, Kamloops also flipped overage forwards with the Spokane Chiefs acquiring Luke Toporowksi in exchange for Nick McCary and a 2nd round pick in 2025.

In total nine trades were made across the WHL and a link to all of them can be found here.
