In separate deals, the Delta Sturgeon have shipped out too more veterans. First, the Sturgeon sent winger Taylor Hall, who had 61 points in 78 games in his fifth season with the franchise, to conference rival Hamilton in exchange for the Ti-Cats’ second round pick, 32nd overall. The second move saw them trade centre Erik Haula to the Boston Banshees for young defenseman Logan Stanley and a 3rd rounder.
Hall and Haula join Jonathan Toews, Zach Hyman and Ryan Pulock as casualties of the Sturgeon’s offseason housecleaning following a disappointing season and in the face of an injury-riddled 2022-23.
