The Ontario Hockey League's Barrie Colts have traded Seattle Kraken prospect Eduard Sale to the Kitchener Rangers, Sportsnet's Jeff Marek reports.

The Colts have also sent defenceman Olivier Savard to the Rangers and in exchange received centre Kyle Morey, defenceman Blair Scott and nine draft picks.

Sale was drafted 20th overall by the Kraken in the 2023 NHL Draft.

Over 25 games with the Colts this season, Sale notched seven goals and 13 assists. The 18-year-old is fresh off winning a bronze medal with Czechia at the 2024 World Juniors, where he recorded seven points in as many games.

The forward signed his three-year, entry-level deal with the Kraken this past July.
