The Saskatoon Blades have dealt F Sena Acolatse, 20, to the Prince George Cougars for a third-round pick in the 2011 bantam draft. He is in his fifth WHL season. The Blades acquired him from the Seattle Thunderbirds last season.Acolatse, 5-foot-11 and 207 pounds, is versatile and can also play defence. He had 35 last season. In 256 career games, he has 152 points and 373 penalty minutes.
The deal gets the Blades down to three 20-year-olds -- G Steven Stanford, D Teigan Zahn and F Marek Viedensky.(The Blades put F Jeremy Boyer, 20, on waivers last week. He now is with the SJHL’s Humboldt Broncos. Thanks to the anonymous poster who pointed out that Boyer had four points for the Broncos on Saturday.)
The Cougars, meanwhile, now have four 20-year-olds -- Acolatse, G Morgan Clark, F James Dobrowolski and F Parker Stanfield. The Cougars, like all teams, have until Oct. 14 to get down to three.
Acolatse is expected to practice with the Cougars on Monday and make his debut Wednesday in Cranbrook against the Kootenay Ice.
This was the second deal between these teams in the last while. Earlier, the Blades dealt F Charles Inglis, 18, to the Cougars for a second-round pick in the 2011 bantam draft.

Jeremy Boyer in his fifth year in the Dub, one would expect that he should dominate the SJHL.
I think the Humboldt Broncos go unrecognized with western teamas and coaches as a Team to contend with. Humboldt I think has been in the RBC times in the last seven? If you look at this years roster I would hazzard a guess that they might be there again this year and of course in 2012 when they host.
Looking at their roster, on paper the talent is ridculous. Again on paper, but it appears they are off to a good start coming in this week # 2 ranked in the CJHL Rankings.
I dont know how Gregg and Alan do all this info gtahering, it is not as easy as it looks. You guys do an awesome job. Its funny what you come up with when you GOOGLE a players name. One player even has a website lol...

They have already moved Dayton Shaw out. He has been traded or is on loan to Dauphin Kings. Cannot get a sraight confirmation.
