Bombers Move Nardone, Finalize Weyburn Deal

It has been a very busy couple days for the Flin Flon Bombers who made a couple of impact moves that will give them more depth up front for the up comong season.

 

Flin Flon made a three way trade with Penticton of the BCHL and the Whitecourt Wolverines of the AJHL.

 

The Bombers have traded  highly skilled forward Vincent Nardone to Penticton and will receive forwards Chase and Easton Haygarth who played for Whitecourt last year.

 

The Haygarth brothers are from Lloydminster and already have two years of junior experience under their belt.

 

Chase had 12 points in 42 games and Easton had 35 points in 58 games including 18 goals.

 

Head Coach and GM Mike Reagan is very excited about the deal. " They play the game the right way. Dwayne Rhinehart our Alberta scout who was instrumental in helping us get Switzer and Kocur a couple of years ago,  told me they are very physical and are very tough to play against. They are good team mates and we feel that both these players will be able to do a lot for our hockey club." 

 

The Bombers also completed the weyburn trade which was the futures in the Cade Kowalski deal from last season.

 

Flin Flon will send prospect Sebastian Eger to Weyburn  who suited up for the Regina Pat Canadians last season in the Saskatchewan Midget Triple A league.

 

Eger put up 17 points in 49 games. The Bombers will also give up a player development fee and another prospect in October.
