The league-leading Regina Pats bolstered their lineup just before Tuesday’s Western Hockey League trade deadline, acquiring defenceman Josh Mahura and forward Jeff de Wit from Red Deer.
The Pats also received a conditional third-round pick, while the Rebels acquired forward Lane Zablocki, defenceman Dawson Barteaux, a first round pick in 2017, a conditional first round pick in 2018 or 2019 and a conditional third round pick in 2020.
Mahura, a third-round pick of Anaheim at the 2016 NHL draft, has 33 points (nine goals, 24 assists) in 39 games this season and is considered a solid two-way defenceman.
De Wit has four goals and five assists in 36 games and is known as a grinding forward.
Barteaux, 16, has two assists in 18 games while Zablocki has nine goals and 16 assists in 33 games.
