Blades acquire fourth-round pick from Royals during 2024 WHL Prospects Draft
Saskatoon, SK – The Saskatoon Blades made their third trade of the day Thursday at the 2024 WHL Prospects Draft. Saskatoon acquired a 2024 fourth-round pick (77th overall) from the Victoria Royals (originally belonging to the Vancouver Giants) in exchange for a 2028 second-round pick.
The deal came after the Blades picked up two third-round picks early in the draft. First was a pick-swap with the Kamloops Blazers, sending away a 2026 fourth-round pick and a 2027 third-round pick in exchange for the Blazers (originally Prince George Cougars) 66th overall pick this year. Saskatoon made another trade minutes later with the Kelowna Rockets for the 61st overall pick in this year’s draft in exchange for a 2025 fourth-round pick (Everett Silvertips) and a 2027 third-rounder (Spokane Chiefs).
Saskatoon went from zero picks in the first five rounds to selecting twice in the third and once in the fourth.
