Prompt 2

I'll try my own trade tree. Not a big one, but still! Valieva was created near the trade deadline of S67 and picked on waivers two days later. The Kelowna Knights had a rough season and were willing to trade their top scorer and give them a chance to make the playoffs and win the Cup. I ended up picked on waivers by St. Louis, then traded with a third round (S68) pick to Kelowna for Rikkert Biemans. Biemans ended up the season with a point per game for St.Louis, and a very decent 24 points in 18 games (with 14 goals), but unfortunately the Scarecrows did not win the Cup.

For the 3rd round pick of St.Louis traded to Kelowna, the Knights selected Walter Ulrich, a 199-TPE IA playing right wing. Ulrich had a very decent career. They played for Kelowna for a 23 points in 66 games during his rookie career. Signed as a free agent two seasons later for Regina (30 points in 66 games) and finished this season in Detroit with 54 (!) points.

Valieva played 4 seasons in Kelowna. Had a disappointing rookie season (16 points in 47 games, 8 points in the last 3 games of the season), a disappointing sophomore season (28 points), broke the all-time record in Kelowna with 81 points and won the SMJHL Alex Light Award for Most Improved Player in S69 and played a more defensive role in her last season, with 68 points.
