WHL trade deadline looming

All is quiet on the Western Hockey League trade front. Guru Gregg Drinnan tries to sort through the rumors and the Spokane Chiefs get a mention about discussions with Kamloops. What is just as interesting to me is the fact the Blazers haven't made it past the first round in 10 years. It seemed to me when I got this beat the first time a few years back, Kamloops was a model franchise - then while I had the beat the franchise fell apart and was sold. It has taken the new ownership three years to chose a course.

We'll be back after tonight's game or if any big trades break.
