The Regina Pats got a jump on Friday’s WHL trade deadline, sending No. 1 goaltender Max Paddock to the Prince Albert Raiders on Thursday.
In exchange, Regina received 17-year-old forward Jakob Brook, a 2020 second-round pick and a conditional third-round pick in 2022 based on whether Paddock returns to the WHL for his 20-year-old season.
It was the second trade in a matter of hours by the Pats, who late Wednesday sent defenceman Tyson Feist to the Kelowna Rockets for a fourth-round pick in the 2020 WHL bantam draft.
The Pats selected Paddock in the 10th round (212th overall) of the 2015 draft. This season, the 19-year-old product of Brandon had played in 29 games for the Pats, posting a 10-13-3-2 record with a 3.31 goals-against average.
He had a 44-49-5-5 record and a 3.27 goals-against average in 114 career regular-season games with Regina.
Brook was drafted in the second round (40th overall) of the 2017 bantam draft. The product of Roblin, Man., has put up nine goals and recorded 21 assists in 99 career WHL games.
Brook also played in 23 playoff games last season as Prince Albert won the WHL championship.
This season, Brook has appeared in 38 games, recording three goals and six assists.
