Spokane, Wash. - The Spokane Chiefs have acquired 20-year-old forward Conner Roulette from the Saskatoon Blades in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2024 draft and a third-round pick in the 2027 draft.

The Winnipeg, MB native was originally drafted by Seattle in the second-round of the 2018 WHL Prospects draft.
