- With the trade deadlines fast approaching in the CHL, there have been some notable moves made in recent days. The latest of those saw WHL Spokane acquire Capitals prospect Andrew Cristall, per a team release in exchange for a prospect and five draft picks including a pair of first-round selections. The 19-year-old was rated by some as a first-round pick in 2023 although he ultimately slipped to 40th overall. After putting up an impressive 111 points last season, Cristall is on pace to beat that this year with 26 goals and 34 assists in just 28 outings. Already signed to his entry-level deal, Cristall will be playing professionally next season.
