The Kelowna Rockets made yet another trade as they have acquired defenceman Parker Alcos from the Edmonton Oil Kings. In the deal, Kelowna also receives a third-round pick in the 2026 CHL Import Draft, and a seventh-round pick in the 2028 WHL Draft. In exchange for Alcos, Edmonton acquired Kelowna’s first-round pick in the 2026 CHL Import Draft, a second-round pick in the 2027 WHL Prospects Draft, and a third-round pick in the 2026 WHL Prospects Draft.
