Here are the details:
Battlefords North Stars coach/GM Ken Pearson has announced this morning that F - Colton Graf (90) has been traded to the Dauphin Kings (MJHL) in exchange for D - Koltyn Miller (91).
Pearson also sent F - Skyler Dunser (91) to the Nipawin Hawks in exchange for Future Considerations.
--------------------------------------
Graf was the second leading scorer for the North Star's last season, and has long been considered a 'real talent' in the SJHL. The problem is - and I don't think I'm alone in thinking this:
Colton Graf was streaky.
There were games last year when Graf was on fire. He was winning faceoffs, he was back checking, and he was scoring goals. Other nights? Well.. I think you know the story.
The bottom line here is that Graf is going to a great organization in Dauphin, and one that has an opportunity to host the Royal Bank Cup this year. I've said it before, and I've even said it to him personally:
If he just puts his head down and plays - He'll be incredibly tough to stop.
---------------------------------------------------------
Best of luck to Skyler Dunser as he heads to Nipawin. If put with the right players, I have no doubt that he can also find success at this level.

Check out the new blog poll. I'm very curious to know your answers.

Only one more sleep until hockey officially starts? Does it get any better. I hope you're listening tomorrow night!

Birch's playoff performance alone should make him the 1a going into the season. Not a lot of space between 1a and 1b with those 2 though.
