WHL:
The Prince George Cougars added toughness to their lineup by acquiring 20-year-old forward Jaxsen Wiebe from the Edmonton Oil Kings in return for 20-year-old forward Noah Boyko and a third-round draft pick in 2023.
Conditional picks are also part of the deal.
In 120 WHL games with the Oil Kings and the Red Deer Rebels, the 6’2” 209 pound Wiebe
has 60 points (22G-38A) and 225 penalty minutes.
Wiebe, who helped Edmonton win the league championship last season, has been suspended by the WHL on five different occasions, including one for seven games for a check from behind major on November 12th of this year against Saskatoon.
