Petes acquire Adam McPhail
Sault Ste. Marie product Adam McPhail has been traded by the Saginaw Spirit to the Peterborough Petes in an Ontario Hockey League trade finalized earlier today, HockeyNewsNorth.com has confirmed.
McPhail, a 6-foot-1, 195-pound, 1997 birth-year right winger, made his OHL debut with Saginaw in 2014-2015 and scored 2 goals, 4 assists, 6 points in 51 games, regular season and playoffs included.
He was a ninth-round pick of Saginaw from the Soo Thunder minor midgets at the 2013 OHL draft.
Peterborough general manager Michael Oke confirmed the acquisition to HockeyNewsNorth.com, saying he gave Saginaw a ninth-round pick in 2017 in return for McPhail, who is expected to fill a secondary line role with the Petes.
“Adam is a hard-working player who has an opportunity to add depth and experience to our roster this season,” said Oke.
