Buffalo Bandits News Release
BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Buffalo Bandits today announced a series of transactions relating to the NLL Expansion Draft.
As part of the moves, the Bandits have traded defenseman Zac Reid to the Philadelphia Wings in exchange for Expansion Draft considerations. The Wings have also selected forward Vaughn Harris and goaltender Davide DiRuscio from the Bandits as part of the NLL Expansion Draft.
The team has also acquired defenseman Bryce Sweeting from the San Diego Seals in exchange for defenseman Ethan Schott and a second-round pick (No. 17 overall) in the 2018 NLL Draft.
"We're excited to be able to keep the core of our roster together, but it is always tough to lose individuals that have given a lot to our organization," General Manager Steve Dietrich said. "I'd like to thank all four players for their hard work and I wish them the very best with their new teams."
Sweeting (6'2", 190 lbs., 7/7/1994) recently completed his third NLL season for the Colorado Mamoth and established new career highs in games played (17), goals (2), assists (3), points (5) and loose ball recoveries (39). During his three-year career, the Peterborough, Ontario native has compiled eight points (3+5) and 80 loose ball recoveries in 37 career games.
