WHL Rumor Mill Heating Up

-

The Tri-City Americans acquired veteran import Richard Nejezchleb on Tuesday morning and that seems to have stirred up the trade market as teams begin establishing themselves as buyers or sellers. 

In the wake of the deal has come news that another veteran player, Calgary's Greg Chase, has been sent home to await a deal after requesting a trade. And his name to the list of Medicine Hat defenceman Connor Hobbs and Dakota Conroy of Prince Albert who are at home waiting for new teams.

On top of those players, speculation and rumors have other WHL stars potentially on the market. 

I'll tell you what I know and the speculation that has come my way after the jump. 

Ice Prospect Scores 9 Points At TELUS Cup

~
What a way to start a National Championship for the Pacific reps the Vancouver NW Giants as they beat up on the Western reps from Winnipeg 12-5.

Kootenay Ice Prospect Sam Reinhart scored an amazing 3 goals and 6 assists. His linemates Alex Kerfoot, a 12th round pick by Seattle in 2009 had 2 goals and 5 helpers while Dylan Houck a Giants 2010 pick recorded the hat-trick giving the trio 19 points.

Reinhart you might remember played during the playoffs with Kootenay until he used up his 5 game limit, he actually played for them in between clinching the Pacific title and the TELUS Cup.
