Vipers Trade?


If you remember back on January 7th 2009 the Vernon Vipers, Merritt Centennials & Burnaby Express made the biggest moves just days before the BCHL's trade deadline. Here's a look back at the three trades,

07-Jan-09
The Vernon Vipers Hockey Club transfer the playing rights of John Digness (89)(D) and future considerations to the Burnaby Express Hockey Club in exchange for the playing rights of Cameron Brodie (88)(D).

07-Jan-09
The Vernon Vipers Hockey Club acquire the playing rights of Mike Leidl (D)(88) from the Burnaby Express Hockey Club in exchange for future considerations.

07-Jan-09
The Vernon Vipers Hockey Club transfer the playing rights of Steve Tresierra (90)(D) to the Merritt Centennials Hockey Club in exchange for future considerations.

In the end it looks as if the Vipers now owe the Burnaby Express future considerations for both Mike Leidl & Cameron Brodie. The Merritt Centennials now owe the Vipers future considerations for Steve Tresierra. Brian Wiebe has posted on his Merritt Centennials Blog http://merrittcentennials.blogspot.com/ what future considerations may be going the other way. Brian posted,

The futures that the Cents gave up at the deadline (to Vernon for D Steve Tresierra) are still to be determined, but rumblings are that somehow those will see G Harrison May dealt to Burnaby, but there has been no confirmation from any of the teams on that.

If this is true, this would put the final three way trade as this,

The Vernon Vipers trade Steve Tresierra to the Merritt Centennials for Harrison May, Vernon then ends up trading May to the Burnaby Express for Mike Leidl & Cameron Brodie. The question is, is Harrison May all the Vipers will have to give up for both Brodie & Leidl? Or will there be more players or cash involved in this deal? You have to wonder if some of the Vipers so called future prospects will be on the move to the Coast. Young kids such as d-man, Steven Weinstein, d-man, Nick Amies, forwards, Kory Roy or Trent Dorias. With trades already starting across the league, Im sure it wont be long before we hear the final players involved in this trade.
