A look at what happened. . . .

A look at the deals made Sunday prior to the WHL’s trade deadline:

TO BRANDON: D Travis Hamonic, 19.
TO MOOSE JAW: D Dallas Ehrhardt, 17, a 2010 first-round bantam pick, a 2010 second-round bantam pick, and a 2011 second-round bantam pick.
SYNOPSIS: This trade goes against everything that Wheat Kings owner/GM/head coach Kelly McCrimmon has ever done. But, then, this is a different season for McCrimmon whose club is the host team for the Memorial Cup. Still, McCrimmon gave up a lot even though he got one of the WHL’s top shutdown defencemen and also has 39 points in 31 games. Hamonic played for Team Canada at the World Junior Championship, although he missed the championship final with a shoulder injury that will keep him sidelined for a few weeks. . . . This trade also shows you the confidence that McCrimmon has in a scouting staff that is headed up by Al Macpherson.

TO PORTLAND: D Luca Sbisa, 19, a 2010 first-round CHL import draft pick, and a 2011 fifth-round bantam pick.
TO LETHBRIDGE: D Daniel Johnston, 17, F Jacob Berglund, 18, and a 2010 first-round import pick.
SYNOPSIS: Portland GM/head coach Mike Johnston recognized an opportunity to roll the dice. He has a good crop of youngsters so giving up Johnston, a fifth-round bantam pick in 2007, won’t hurt. Berglund, a Swede, had to go to make room for Sbisa, who is from Switzerland. . . . Sbisa represented Switzerland at the World Junior Championship and has been named to the Swiss Olympic team. But he is out with an abdominal injury, the seriousness of which isn’t known at this time. . . . Should Sbisa not join Portland until after the Olympics, the Winterhawks would have him for the last six regular-season games and the playoffs. His acquisition gives the Winterhawks two Swiss players, the other being F Nino Niederreiter, 17. . . . Assuming Sbisa, who will do his rehab in Switzerland, comes back healthy and eager to play after the Olympics, this could put the Winterhawks over the top. If he doesn’t end up playing for Portland, well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. . . . Lethbridge, with four defenceman injured, will press Johnston into immediate service.

TO VANCOUVER: F Tomas Vincour, 19, and F Brett Breitkreuz, 20.
TO EDMONTON: F Garry Nunn, 20, F Mike Piluso, 19, F Sebastian Svendsen, 18, a 2010 fifth-round bantam pick, a 2011 third-round bantam pick and a conditional 2010 third-round bantam pick.
SYNOPSIS: Vancouver gets Vincour, who is from Czech Republic, so Svendsen, a Dane, had to go. Vincour should supply the Giants with some offence; at least they are hoping. Breitkreuz gives them experience, grit and some size up front, something they have been missing. . . . Edmonton signalled before Christmas that it was selling and it did OK in this exchange.
———
TO VANCOUVER: F Brett Henke, 19.
TO LETHBRIDGE: 2011 fifth-round bantam pick.
SYNOPSIS: Henke, at 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds gives the Giants more much-needed size.
———
TO PRINCE ALBERT: D Stefan Warg, 19.
TO SEATTLE: D Austin Frank, 16, and a 2010 fifth-round bantam pick.
SYNOPSIS: It is imperative that the Raiders, who got off to a slow start at the gate, make the playoffs. Warg, at 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, should help them stay in the hunt. He was a fifth-round selection by the Anaheim Ducks in the 2008 NHL draft. . . . Seattle adds another young defenceman to its collection. It got D Ryan Aasman, 17, from Prince Albert last week.
———
TO SASKATOON: F/D Curt Gogol, 18.
TO KELOWNA: F Colton Sissons, 16, and a 2011 third-round bantam pick.
SYNOPSIS: Gogol provides the Blades with more grit and some middleweight toughness, which GM/head coach Lorne Molleken will love. . . . Sissons is playing for the BCHL’s Westside Warriors, so the Rockets will be able to keep a close eye on him.
———
TO KELOWNA: D Dallas Jackson, 20.
TO PRINCE GEORGE: F Tyler Halliday, 20, and a 2011 third-round bantam pick.
SYNOPSIS: Kelowna GM Bruce Hamilton brings in Jackson, who had been the Cougars’ leading scorer, to provide some relief for D Tyson Barrie on the back end. The Cougars now have two puck-movers back there.
———
TO SASKATOON: F Marek Viedensky, 19.
TO PRINCE GEORGE: G Tyler Santos, 15, a 2010 third-round bantam pick, and a conditional 2011 third-round bantam pick.
SYNOPSIS: Viedensky, a seventh-round pick by the San Jose Sharks in the NHL’s 2009 draft, gets a new lease on life and should score for the Blades. He played for Slovakia at the World Junior Championship. . . . The Cougars get a potential goaltender for the future — a 10th-round bantam pick in 2009, he is with the midget AAA Sherwood Park Kings — and more draft picks.
———
TO PRINCE GEORGE: G Kyle Jahraus, 19.
TO SEATTLE: F Robbie Ciolfi, 18.
SYNOPSIS: The Cougars are out of goaltenders so made this deal out of necessity. Hudson Stremmel (concussion) may return Wednesday against visiting Red Deer. Alex Wright (collarbone) may be done for the season. . . . Ciolfi was sent home by the Cougars for education-related problems earlier in the season. . . . Seattle has brought in Michael Salmon, 17, to replace Jahraus on its roster. Salmon started the season with the Cougars but was released.
———
TO CHILLIWACK: D Matt Delahey, 20.
TO REGINA: D Mitch McColm, 20.
SYNOPSIS: Western Conference teams won’t miss McColm, who is one tough hombre and will have some battles with Moose Jaw and Saskatoon. He also was the Bruins’ captain. . . . Delahey, a fourth-round pick of the New Jersey Devils in the NHL’s 2008 draft, gets a new lease on life with GM/head coach Marc Habscheid and the Bruins.
———
TO SWIFT CURRENT: D Kyle Verdino, 18.
TO KELOWNA: a 2011 fifth-round bantam pick.
SYNOPSIS: Verdino never seemed to fit in with Kelowna and he got off to a slow start this season after being involved in a serious offseason auto accident.
———
TO KELOWNA: F Sean Aschim, 17.
TO PRINCE ALBERT: A 2010 sixth-round bantam pick.
SYNOPSIS: Aschim is a Dec. 30-born player, but he scored last season (52 points in 42 games with the midget AAA Prince Albert Mintos). Rockets need bodies with five regulars still out with injuries.
———
TO PRINCE GEORGE: D Petr Senkerik, 18.
TO KOOTENAY: A 2011 fifth-round bantam pick.
SYNOPSIS: Senkerik, from Czech Republic, fills the spot left by the trading of Viedensky to Saskatoon. . . . In Kootenay, the Ice wanted to free up ice time for younger defencemen like Jagger Dirk and Luke Paulsen.
———
TO CALGARY: F Tyler Shattock, 19, D Zak Stebner, 19, F Jimmy Bubnick, 18, and a conditional 2011 fourth-round bantam pick.
TO KAMLOOPS: F Chase Schaber, 18, D Austin Madaisky, 17, and a 2011 conditional third-round bantam pick.
SYNOPSIS: The Hitmen have added to their depth up front and Shattock and Bubnick will contribute if they can find the consistency that was missing in Kamloops. Stebner also has been inconsistent on the back end and found himself on a forward line in a couple of recent games. . . . The Blazers are looking to the future and picked up two former first-round bantam picks. . . . Check back in two years to see who won this one.
———
TO TRI-CITY: F Mike Brown, 19.
TO SWIFT CURRENT: A 2011 fifth-round bantam pick.
SYNOPSIS: Tri-City, the Western Conference leader, gets some veteran depth up front.
———
DEADLINE DAY NOTES: Greg Harder of the Regina Leader-Post reports that the Pats hung on to F Jordan Eberle and D Colten Teubert despite hearing from a few clubs. “The Tri-City Americans were among the leading contenders to land Teubert,” Harder writes, “while the Brandon Wheat Kings and Saskatoon Blades made bids for Eberle, but none of those offers included enough warm bodies to entice the Pats.” . . . Steve Ewen of the Vancouver Province that the Giants asked the NHL’s San Jose Sharks about the possibility of getting G Tyson Sexsmith, 20, reassigned to them. He has played only 11 games total as he has moved between the AHL and ECHL this season. But the Sharks want to keep him in their organization.
———
Meanwhile, back on the ranch . . .

The Spokane Chiefs have assigned D Garrett Leedahl, 18, to the SJHL’s Humboldt Broncos. The Chiefs, who weren’t able to make any deadline deals, are carrying 23 players, including 14 forwards and seven defencemen.
———
The ECHL’s Johnstown Chiefs have fired head coach Jeff Flanagan, with former NHL general manager Neil Smith, who is the team’s majority owner, taking over on an interim basis. Flanagan, a first-year coach, was hired Sept. 9 after Ian Herbers signed on as an assistant with the AHL’s Milwaukee Admirals. The Chiefs (9-19-4-3) had the ECHL’s worst record under Flanagan. They are 1-9-1-2 since Dec. 5.
