The anticipated trade between Portland at Toronto was finally completed today.
Ryan Johnson and Milos Kocic are going west in exchange for Portland's first round selection in the Superdraft (No 3 overall) and back-up keeper Joe Bendik.
Allocation money was also part of the deal, which might be used to acquire one of the players identified during this fall's European scouting trip.
The addition of Bendik likely means the end of Freddy Hall's brief and mostly unsuccessful time with the Reds.
Speculation is that Toronto is now looking to move the first overall selection in the draft.
