To Victoria: 4th rounder
To Calgary: Jesse Zgraggen
To Lethbridge: Josh Derko, 3rd rounder
To Swift Current: Jay Merkley
What a terrible trade for Lethbridge. Don't know much about Derko, but from what I've heard he's just a bottom 6 grinder. While the 'Canes needed size upfront and that type of player, definitely not at the expense of a core player like Merkley, who is a former 3rd overall pick. Really like his game and he has big potential going forward. Very tough to see him go in a trade like this.
