Raiders Make Trade ( 9/2/2010 )
The Prince Albert Raiders are down to three 20 year olds on their roster.
That's because they traded forward Colin Reddin to the Regina Pats in exchange for a conditional 6th round bantam draft pick in the 2011 draft.
Reddin was acquired from the Portland Winterhawks on November 24 of last year in exchange for a bantam pick in the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft.
Reddin appeared in 44 games as a Raider with 10 goals and 7 assists to go along with 27 penalty minutes.
Ilya Kovalchuk ( 9/2/2010 )
The NHL decided it needs more time to decide if Ilya Kovalchuk's contract with the New Jersey Devils is kosher.
The reworked contract is $100 million dollars over 15 years.
The NHL recently rejected a front-loaded, 17-year deal valued at $102 million, because the structure would have circumvented the league's salary cap.
The NHL says it will make a decision by sometime tomorrow.
