Blazers, Wheat Kings make deal

The Kamloops Blazers have dealt G James Priestner, 17, to the Brandon Wheat Kings for a third-round selection in the 2009 bantam draft.
Priestner has been at home in Edmonton since Wednesday as he awaited a move. He was a second-round pick, 31st overall, by the Blazers in the 2006 draft.
The acquisition of Priestner, who is expected in Brandon on Tuesday, leaves the Wheat Kings with three goaltenders, the other two being Joe Caligiuri, 19, and Andrew Hayes, 18.
Kamloops is left with Justin Leclerc, 19, and Jon Groenheyde, 17.

Meanwhile,the Wheat Kings lost LW Jay Fehr, 19, and D Chad Erb, 20, over the weekend. Fehr is being evaluated after suffering a shoulder injury. Erb is out indefinitely after taking a slapshot to the face.
