The Komets and Everblades complete a trade, and the Wichita Thunder re-sign their leading scorer from last season in a pair of training camp transactions.
Training camp is well underway, but that hasn't stopped teams from shaking up their rosters ahead of opening day next week.
The Fort Wayne Komets announced today that they have traded forward Kamerin Nault to Florida in exchange for cash considerations.
Nault, 28, has bounced between the AHL and ECHL with stints in Greenville, Kansas City, Atlanta, and Reading before signing with Fort Wayne. He had four points across nine games with the Royals last season, in a year he split between the ECHL and EIHL.
Elsewhere, the Wichita Thunder have brought back their leading scorer Michal Stinil.
Stinil, 24, originally signed in the offseason overseas with the Vienna Capitals. A native of Decin, Czech Republic, the 5-foot-11, 194-pound forward led the Thunder last season in goals (31), assists (48) and points (79). He made a 49-point increase from his rookie to sophomore season when he collected 30 points (13g, 17a) in 54 games during the 2021-22 campaign.
Prior to turning pro, Stinil played one full season at American International College. In 2020-21, he had seven points (2g, 5a) in 17 games and helped AIC to the Atlantic Hockey Association Regular Season Title. He also helped win the Jack Riley Memorial Trophy for winning the AHA Hockey Championship Tournament.
Before heading to college, he played two seasons in the North American Hockey League for the Lone Star Brahmas.
Stinil netted 41 points (20g, 21a) in 45 games and racked up 142 penalty minutes during the 2019-20 campaign. Overall, he finished with 64 points (34g, 30a) in 74 career games for the Brahmas.
