Rebels complete major trade with Kootenay
The Red Deer Rebels are jumping into the WHL trade market in a big way.
General Manager Brent Sutter pulled the trigger on a major transaction Friday afternoon with the Kootenay Ice, acquiring 19-year old forwards Brett Davis and Cameron Hausinger in exchange for 17-year old forward River Fahey, 18-year old forward Austin Schellenberg, 15-year old prospect Chase Bertholet, and 17-year old prospect Justin Svenson.
Also heading to Kootenay are a first, third and sixth round selection in the 2019 WHL Bantam Draft, a second round selection in the 2020 WHL Bantam Draft and a conditional third round pick in 2022.
Davis is in his fourth season in the Western Hockey League. He is a sixth round pick of the Dallas Stars in the 2017 National Hockey League Draft, but has yet to sign with the club. The Oakbank, Manitoba native has played in 211 WHL games, scoring 55 goals and 65 assists for 120 career points.
