The Estevan Bruins have traded their leading scorer in a deal completed late Monday night.
The club has sent 19-year-old left winger Darcy DeRoose to the Kindersley Klippers for future considerations.
DeRoose, a Ceylon native, is the team's top scorer with nine goals and 17 points in 22 games.
"It's something that's going to make our team significantly better in the long run, otherwise we would not have been willing to sacrifice Darcy," said Bruins general manager Chris Lewgood.
DeRoose was in his third season with the Bruins. He scored 25 points in 46 games as a rookie in 2012-13. Last year, he had 12 points in 14 games before leaving to join the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League.
