Giants Trade JT Barnett To Kamloops

Vancouver, B.C. – Vancouver Giants Executive Vice President and General Manager, Scott Bonner, announced today that the Vancouver Giants have traded right winger JT Barnett to the Kamloops Blazers for a second round draft pick at the 2011 draft.

The 17 year old winger played in 71 games for the Giants during last season and recorded 21 goals and 17 assists during the regular season and 3 assists in the 2009/10 playoffs.

Scott Bonner said, "JT had a great year last season with our club, however over the last 3 or 4 seasons we've traded away quite a few draft choices in an effort to make a run and sooner or later this will catch up to you, so we had the chance to acquire a high pick and decided to take advantage of that!". Bonner added, "We think this deal, combined with last year’s Tucker deal will cover us for the 1st round choice we had to move to acquire David Musil last season, as we now head into the 2011 draft with four 2nd round selections."
