Spokane, Wash. — The Spokane Chiefs have acquired 20-year-old forward Conner Roulette from the Saskatoon Blades in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2024 draft and a third-round pick in the 2027 draft.
Roulette, a 6-foot-0, 178-pound winger has collected 179 points (73G, 106A) in 191 regular season WHL games split between Seattle and Saskatoon and an additional 25 points (8G, 17A) in 43 playoff games. The Winnipeg, MB native was originally drafted by Seattle in the second-round of the 2018 WHL Prospects draft. The Dallas Stars made him their fourth-round selection in the 2021 NHL Draft (#111 overall).
Roulette spent his early WHL career in Seattle, playing 131 regular season games for the Thunderbirds and 60 with Saskatoon during the 2022-23 season. He tied his career high with 24 goals and set a career high in both game winning goals and penalty minutes over the course of last season. He represented Team Canada at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge and the U-18 World Championship.
“We are excited to add an offensive player like Conner. He possesses a nice skillset of playmaking and finishing abilities which will be a nice addition to our team.” Matt Bardsley, Spokane Chiefs General Manager continued, “Conner also brings 43 games of playoff experience which will be very important to our team, as our goal is to not only make the playoffs, but to advance as far as possible.
