Minor Transactions: 01/06/23

January 6, 2023 at 2:40 pm CDT | by Ethan Hetu Leave a Comment

With the World Junior Championships now over, the hockey world can fully return its focus on the NHL season. We’re in the full swing of things on the NHL calendar, and as teams continue to fight for playoff position, numerous teams in overseas and minor leagues are making tweaks to their roster. We’ll keep track of those moves here.

  • Montreal Canadiens second-round pick Riley Kidney was traded in a blockbuster QMJHL deal today. Kidney, who scored 100 points last season, was dealt to the Gatineau Olympiques in exchange for a 2025 first-round pick, Hurricanes draft pick Robert Orr, and forward Donovan Arsenault. This is the second time Orr has been traded this season, as he was acquired by the Olympiques in August.
  • Vegas Golden Knights prospect Jakub Brabenec, fresh off of a strong World Juniors performance, has been traded to another QMJHL team. He was sent to the Sherbrooke Phoenix in exchange for a package including draft picks and Swiss forward Joel Marchon. Brabenec was a fourth-rounder of the Golden Knights in 2021 and has 25 points in 28 games this season.
  • Former Florida Panther Jonathan Racine has a new club to play for. The 29-year-old 2011 third-round pick has signed a deal with Herning Blue Fox, a team in Metal Ligaen, the top division of professional hockey in Denmark. Racine last played in North America in 2019-20, splitting time in the AHL and ECHL. Before signing in Denmark, Racine had played this season for Manglerud in the Fjordkraft-ligaen, the top division of professional hockey in Norway.
  • 2009 Colorado Avalanche draft pick Brandon Maxwell has signed a short-term deal to play for the Malmo Redhawks of the SHL. Maxwell, 31, has played in Europe since 2013-14, save for a one-game stint in the ECHL. He’s gone from Czechia to Austria to Germany and now finds himself in Sweden for the next stop in his career.
  • Minor league veteran Matt Salhany has left the ECHL’s Jacksonville Icemen to sign a contract overseas. Per an official announcement, Metal Ligaen’s Aalborg Pirates have signed Salhany to a contract for the rest of the season. Salhany was a prolific scorer in his last stint in the Danish league, scoring 28 points in 35 games for Soenderjyske. His return to North America with Jacksonville hasn’t gone as planned, as he has just four points in 11 games, so he’ll head back to Denmark looking to resume his role as a top scorer.
  • Former HockeyEast regular Liam Blackburn is changing clubs. The 26-year-old Canadian has bounced around a bit this season. He moved from the German third division to the SPHL, played for three different SPHL clubs, and then left for Scotland, signing with the EIHL’s Fife Flyers. He’s now left for a different part of the United Kingdom, transferring to the Manchester Storm, a rival EIHL club. Blackburn, who was a solid scorer in college and an elite scorer in Germany’s third tier, had one point in nine games for the Flyers.
  • Former OHL and ECHL star Dante Salituro has changed clubs, as he is now playing for HC Presov. Salituro had previously been playing for HC Spisska Nova Ves, a rival club in the Slovakian Tipos Extraliga, the country’s top professional league. Salituro has 43 points in 65 career games in Slovakia, and last played in North America in 2019-20.
  • Miloslav Jachym, a veteran defenseman on the Eastern and Central European professional hockey circuits, has left his current club, HC Dukla Jihlava of the Czech second division. The team connected Jachym’s departure to the signing of a younger defenseman, David Vala, to a multi-year deal.
