The Peterborough Petes have made another big trade on OHL Trade Deadline day.
The team sent newly acquired Alex Pharand and five OHL Priority Selection picks to the Sudbury Wolves in exchange for right-winger Chase Stillman.
Stillman, who was selected by the Devils in the first round, 29th overall in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, has nine goals, 11 assists for 20 points in 24 games this season.
General Manager Mike Oke says the team is excited to add a player of his calibre to the team, and feels he’ll be an excellent addition in the lineup. Stillman has Peterborough roots also, having played his U15 games with the Peterborough Minor Petes.
On the international stage, Stillman played for Hockey Canada’s Team White U17 Hockey Challenge in 2019, tallying four points (one goal, three assists) in six games.
In addition to sending Pharand to Sudbury, the Petes have sent Sarnia Sting’s 2nd round pick in 2022, Niagara IceDogs 2nd round pick in 2024, Kitchener Rangers and Owen Sound’s 3rd round pick in 2023, and the Bulldogs 3rd round pick in 2024.
Earlier in the day, the Petes traded Keegan McMullen to the Soo Greyhounds for a 6th round pick.
