Mike Vellucci talks trade deadline and John Tavares

"We're still looking at a couple of things," said Vellucci this evening from Michigan. "But we're not depleting our line up at all, we're not going to trade Chris Terry or any of our top players or anything like that." Read more here from Loosepucks

DEADLINE DEAL: PLYMOUTH WHALERS TRADE JEREMY SMITH, PATRICK LEE

PLYMOUTH – Plymouth Whalers President, General Manager and Head Coach Mike Vellucci announced the trade of 19-year-old goaltender Jeremy Smith and 20-year-old right wing Patrick Lee to the Niagara IceDogs in exchange for second-round and eighth-round picks in the 2010 Ontario Hockey League Draft and a fourth-round pick in the 2011 Draft.

Jeremy Smith (above) and Patrick Lee (below) have been traded to the Niagara IceDogs for three draft picks.

The Ontario Hockey League’s Final Trading Deadline is Friday at noon.

With Smith moving to Niagara, 18-year-old Matt Hackett and 16-year-old rookie Scott Wedgewood will share duties in goal for the Whalers.

“Matt Hackett has clearly stepped up and has taken over the job as the number one goaltender,” Vellucci said. “I feel it’s time to move Smith so he can be a number one goaltender again. Patrick Lee is a victim of numbers. I never expected to get Brett Bellemore back (from Albany of the AHL on Monday) and Scott Fletcher has been very good for us.” Read More
