11:59 a.m. - Heading into the draft, the Weyburn Red Wings didn't have a selection in the 5th round. A deal with the Nipawin Hawks, though, moved the Wings up to 2nd in the round (50th overall). With that pick, Weyburn went with 06-board goaltender Eric Kahl of the Saskatoon Blazers. Playing in 22 games last year, Kahl finished the season with a GAA of 2.60, and save percentage of .890, picking up three shutouts along the way.
