Sapurji: Erie finds Spirit-ed defenceman

Permalink 10/07/08 18:36 , Categories: blog

The Erie Otters didn't waste much time getting to know new Saginaw Spirit GM Todd Watson by announcing a trade today -- less than 24 hours after Watson was promoted to position.

...

The Otters picked up defenceman Chris Breen and a fifth round pick in the 2009 OHL draft from Saginaw in exchange for holdout forward Jordan Skellett and a seventh rounder in 2009.

Breen, a 6-foot-7 defender has one assist in six games with the Spirit this season. The 19-year-old has 10 points in 125 career games with Saginaw. So, he not exactly an offensive juggernaut.

But even with a single point, he's been more productive this season than Skellett, who has been at home in London, Ont. awaiting a trade.

In 93 games with the Otters, Skellett has 25 goals and 32 assists for 57 points.

As a youngster she followed the OHL's Toronto Marlies and her favourite player --Brian Collinson.

"I was 10 years old and he signed an autograph for me - automatically making him my favourite player," she recalled. "He's probably selling insurance now."
