The Swift Current Broncos have made a trade with the Prince George Cougars to acquire forward Carlin Dezainde.
The Broncos sent Willow Bunch, SK native Van Eger along with a second-round pick in the 2025 WHL Prospects Draft and a fourth-round pick in 2027 to the Cougars for Dezainde and a ninth-round pick in the 2025 WHL Prospects Draft.
The 19-year-old Dezainde, who will turn 20 in December, comes to the Broncos with 194 WHL games of experience, scoring 41 goals and recording 61 assists over time with Medicine Hat and Prince George. Dezainde has six career power play goals, three short handed markers and nine game-winning goals. The Calgary, AB native has 10 points, six goals, four assists, in seven games this season.
“Carlin is a highly competitive 200 foot player that pushes the pace and puts teams under duress. He is a leadership guy that brings a lot of playoff experience to our group," Broncos general manager Chad Leslie said in a statement.
Dezainde is expected to arrive in Swift Current later this week. Meanwhile, Eger played in 72 games all with Swift Current, scoring three goals and seven assists.
