The Vancouver Giants have traded forward Tristyn DeRoose to the Moose Jaw Warriors.

The 1999-born forward, who is from Saskatchewan, had a goal and five assists in 55 games for the Giants in 2016/17.

The six-foot-three, 188-pound winger also had 15 fighting majors, which were the second most in the Western Hockey League.

In exchange, Vancouver receives a sixth round draft pick in the 2020 WHL bantam draft.

With the roster move, the Giants are down to 27 players — 15 forwards, nine defencemen and three goaltenders.

The team needs to be down to 25 players for the start of the WHL season on Sept. 22.

Vancouver wrapped up the pre-season with three victories over the weekend, completing the exhibition season with five wins and one loss.
