The Royals have dealt forward Jake Smith to Orlando, Ryan Cox to Kalamazoo and Tyson Fawcett to Greenville to complete the trades which brought forward Brayden Guy's playing rights to Reading (11/26/23), defenseman Kurt Gosselin to Reading (1/15/24) and forward Jake Smith to Reading (2/20/24), respectively.
