The London Knights and Niagara IceDogs have come together on their second trade in less than a week.
“ stems from some earlier moves that we had made,” explained London associate general manager Rob Simpson. “After making the trade for Henry we knew that we were going to have to replace some of those draft picks. Obviously the position is a specialty position and it is hard to find good ones.
“I think that’s why Niagara wanted a guy like Ryan Humphrey. It’s never easy to say goodbye to players like Ryan Humphrey and Mathieu Paris. They are quality people and have been great in our locker room.”Copeland is an 18-year-old forward who was selected 22nd overall in the 2021 OHL Priority Selection.
To put that in perspective, it was the same pick the was used to draft Henry Brzustewicz two years later and Brzustewich, due to two compensatory picks that were awarded to other teams was technically a first-round pick. “Juan has played in the league for a couple of years now and has a ton of skill,” said Simpson. “He plays a pucks possession game and can make plays all over the ice.
