The Weyburn Red Wings have settled their goaltending logjam for the time being as 20 year veteran Kyle McConnell was dealt to the Merritt Centennials of the BCHL on Wednesday evening for 1989 born defenseman Kyle Johns from Comox BC and future considerations. Johns had 1 goal and three assists in 11 games with Merritt this season.
McConnell was in his second season with the Red Wings after being acquired at the trade dealine last season from the Grande Prairie Storm of the AJHL. McConnell, from Fort McMurray, Alberta, had a record of 4-5-0-1 in 10 starts this season with a goals against average of 3.41 and a save percentage of .895. McConnell made his first start for Merritt on Thursday night and posted a 5-3 win in his first start in Merritt. We would like to thank Kyle for his service over the past two seasons with the Red Wings and wish him all the best in BC. Are the Wings done wheeling and dealing? Be sure to check back and watch for updates.

with kyle gone will the wings be on the market for another goalie? Or will the load be put on AJ's shoulders with Tanner pushing him the rest of the season? I found it an interesting move. Who did the Wings recieve in return?
The Wings traded for a player to be named later. I spoke with Dwight yesterday and he simply said they will play with the roster as it is and if they need to add someone they will try and pursue that player who ever it may be.
Just keep watching, things could be pretty interesting in the next few weeks.
