Mallards and Thunder Strike a Deal
Wednesday brought a deal between a pair of CHL clubs as Quad City Mallards acquired centers Jason Reese and Eric Giosa, along with future considerations, from the Wichita Thunder in exchange for defenseman Jason Goulet.
The Mallards acquire a pair of bright rookies from last season in the CHL as Giosa, 26, played with the Laredo Bucks scoring 12 goals with 35 points in 57 games and Reese combined for 32 points (7-25=32) in 57 games (saw action with Arizona, Texas and Wichita).
For Wichita, the acquisition of the tough Goulet gives the Thunder a physical presence on the blueline. Last season, the Winnipeg native had 10 points and 212 penalty minutes in 73 games with the Mallards. He has previous CHL experience with Oklahoma City and Rapid City.
