Former University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux forward Drew Stafford was involved in a blockbuster trade today. The soon to be UFA Stafford is headed to the Winnipeg Jets. UND fans can start ordering their Stafford jersey’s soon.
This is an interesting trade, Kane is out for the rest of season after having season-ending shoulder surgery.
The Jets get, Tyler Myers, Drew Stafford, prospect Brendan Lemieux and a first-round draft choice
The Sabres get, Evander Kane, Zach Bogosian and prospect Jason Kasdorf
Eric Dhhatschek, Globe and Mail — In a blockbuster deal that shook up the trading-deadline aspirations of at least two teams, the Winnipeg Jets traded away an unproductive, unhappy asset – forward Evander Kane, along with defenceman Zach Bogosian and goalie prospect Jason Kasdorf, but managed to land a passel of help for the stretch drive and beyond.
Heading to Winnipeg are 6-foot-8 defenceman Tyler Myers, forward Drew Stafford, plus prospects Brendan Lemieux and Joel Armia, along with a 2015 first-round draft choice.
