Spokane Chiefs Acquires Overager Petr From Saskatoon Blades

The Spokane Chiefs have filled their final overage slot.

Spokane acquired 20-year-old import Dominik Petr along with a fifth round pick in 2029 from the Saskatoon Blades on Tuesday in exchange for 17-year-old defenceman Kaden Allan and 19-year-old import forward Elias Pul.

“As a 20-year-old, he will bring valuable experience to our team as he is in his third WHL season.” Spokane general manager Matt Bardsley said in a team press release. “He can produce offensively, is strong on face offs, and will provide us added size up front. To make a move like this, we unfortunately have to say goodbye to Kaden and Elias. We believe they will be able to continue to develop this game in Saskatoon and wish them all the best moving forward."

So far this season, Petr had registered nine goals and 12 assists in 29 games while posting a minus-12 rating for the Blades. 

The deal comes after the Chiefs acquired Logan Wormald from the Lethbridge Hurricanes in exchange for four draft picks on the weekend. Spokane sits sixth in the Western Conference with a 15-14-0-0 record on the season.

For the Blades, they have lost five games in a row and sit fifth in the Eastern Conference with a 14-13-2-0 record. 

“I felt over the last month our group was in need of a shakeup.” Blades president and general manager Colin Priestner said in a press release. “With the significant long-term injuries we have on the blue line, we thought it was a great opportunity to add a big 17-year-old defenceman that we feel has a great chance to be drafted to the NHL this summer.”
