everett , washington….
the tips have completed a trade with division rival try cities, the tips have sent their 2014 bantam 1st round pick ( originally portland's) and 2014 1st and 2nd round free agent picks, and their 2015 bantam first round to try city for their 2014 1st round bantam pick, mitch moroz, and luke philp..
in this deal the tips move up in the first round , to have 2 of the top 5 or 6 picks in the 2014 draft, as well to the pick the tips add 19 yr old mitch moroz who brings leadership and adds some scoring depth to the tips. in luke philp the tips add another quality 18 year olds to add a older player who will help this club next year and making their push to a title.
the tips second major trade over the holidays and they feel they have added some very quality players to help this team cap off their rebuild with a playoff appearance next year. the club is on the verge of missing the playoffs for the second straight year, but the club went into a major youth movement 2 years ago and now feel they can take the next step with these players.
gm cory commented " its always tough moving picks as its hard to look into a crystal ball and see what will be available then. we felt with our roster we don't have room to use the free agent picks and we felt we got our value in return when talking about a top 3 pick in any draft." " the players we have just obtained, are quality players and players who can score, beau mccue, tanner lesann, madison bowey and now mitch moroz, and luke philp are all having good seasons on the ice this year and we hope that carries over with the tips this season and next. we felt we really added to our scoring depth and are a better club today than we were yesterday."
