Quantity for quality, that's what the Royals are banking on with a Monday morning move with the Wenatchee Wild.
Victoria dealt prospect Chace Gregg and five draft picks to the Wild in exchange for 19-year-old Miles Cooper.
Four of the picks given up were previously acquired selections, with the Royals sending a pair of fourth-round picks in 2026 (Brandon and Everett), a 2027 fourth-round pick (Brandon), and a 2028 fourth-round pick (Tri-City), along with their own 2027 second-round pick.
Gregg, a 15-year-old from Winnipeg, Man., was originally selected 50th overall by the Royals in the 2025 WHL Prospects Draft. He starred for the Winnipeg Bruins U15 AAA last season, finishing with 100 points and leading his team by 13 points. The left-shot forward will have at least one more season befo
