Yesterday, the Portland Winterhawks traded goaltender Cam Lanigan to the Medicine Hat Tigers for a seventh round pick in the 2013 Bantam Draft. This trade was necessitated because Mac Carruth was returned to the team by Rockford of the AHL and because you can only have three overaged players (20 years old, and Taylor Peters and Troy Rutkowski are the others in this category), someone had to go, and Brendan Burke was not about to go, since he is likely guaranteed one more year even if he gets drafted by an NHL team next year. Lanigan posted a 3-0-0-1 record with a 1.00 GAA while with the Winterhawks, and he will be a great benefit to a Tigers team that is second to last in the league in goals given up (only Saskatoon has given up more).
