Edmonton, AB - The Saskatoon Blades have acquired 20-year-old forward Dominik Petr, the 199th overall pick of the 2025 Western Hockey League (WHL) Prospects Draft, and a conditional fifth round pick in 2028 in exchange for the 83rd overall selection of this year's draft.

"This was just an opportunity for us, with an open 20 spot, to use some draft capital here to help our team," said Blades general manager and president, Colin Priestner, "He's an outstanding player. He's played on the World Junior team already for the Czech Republic. He's a guy that brings speed. He's 6-foot-2, and we think he can be a point-per-game guy this year."

The Blades previously dropped pending overage forward and import centre Frantisek Dej.

The pending overage import forward's played 122 games with the Wheat Kings across two seasons. Petr's scored 32 goals, 60 assists, and 92 points in that span. The 20-year-old centre scored a career-high 47 points (15G, 32A) in 55 games during 2024-25. Petr has one goal and four assists in nine career playoff games with the Wheat Kings.
