Prince George, BC –
It was a busy deadline day for the Prince George Cougars.
The Prince George Cougars traded Brett Connolly’s rights to the Tri City Americans. In return, the Cougars receive a fifth round pick in the 2013 draft, while also receiving a conditional first rounder pick in 2013 and a conditional second round pick in 2014.
Earlier today, the Cougars traded import defenceman Martin Marincin to the Regina Pats. In exchange the Cougars receive import defenceman Ricard Blidstrand, a first round draft pick in 2012, a second round pick in 2012 and a fifth round pick in 2013.
The Prince George Cougars will have Blidstrand in the lineup tonight when they take on the Vancouver Giants on the road.
In addition to the two trades, the Prince George Cougars have reassigned 17-year-old defenceman Josh Smith to the Alberta Junior Hockey League, and have recalled 18-year-old forward John Odgers for the remainder of the season.

May as well get rid of the talent and trade for someone who can sell beer in the stands
tough when you lose 80% of your offence. Some of this iwas totally unforeseen
Maybe they were scared they might actually make the playoffs this year….
Don’t believe, for a minute, what we are being told for ‘public consumption’ on the Connelly trade. It was forced upon Dallas by others in the NHL.
