Press Release
The
Vipers continued to address their surplus of 20-year-olds by sending
forward Braedan Russell to the Powell River Kings in exchange for future
considerations Wednesday.
“He’s a good kid, but we’re high on
20-year-olds and we had to start making adjustments,” said Vipers’ head
coach Jason Williamson.
A highly touted prospect coming into last
season, Russell struggled to find his way with the Vipers after
injuring his wrist in a pre-season scrap. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound
Oakville, Ont. product finished with two goals and five assists in 25
games.
“He never got off on the right foot here,” said
Williamson. “Not his fault. If he wasn’t a 20-year-old, absolutely we’d
keep him.”
