Rush Continue Youth Movement in Trade With Toronto

Four weeks away from training camp, the Saskatchewan Rush have made a trade Thursday.

G-M Derek Keenan continued to go younger with his line-up by sending 31-year-old forward Dan Lintner and a 2024 fifth round draft pick to the Toronto Rock for 25-year-old defender Jamieson Dilks and a second round choice in 2024. Keenan feels Dilks has a shot at cracking the Saskatchewan line-up after playing in 28 N-L-L games with two goals, 17 caused turnovers and 49 loose balls. The Rush start training camp on November 3 and play their first pre-season game on November 25 against Calgary in Moose Jaw. Following is the news release from the Rush…..

SASKATOON, SK – The Saskatchewan Rush have sent another veteran forward east.

On Wednesday, GM Derek Keenan made a trade to send Dan Lintner and a 2024 5th Round Pick to Toronto for a 2024 2nd Round Pick and defender Jamieson Dilks.

“We appreciate what Dan brought to the Rush in his two seasons and wish him all the best in Toronto. This is simply a continuation of us taking the team in a different direction with a younger core group. If you look at what we did with 2nd round picks in 2023, I think it’s easy to see the value,” – Keenan

Dilks, a 25-year-old defender from Hamilton, has played 28 games in the National Lacrosse League. As a member of the Rock, he has two goals, 17 caused turnovers and 49 loose balls.

“In Dilks, we get a young, athletic D-Guy who will be given a good shot at cracking our line-up.” – Keenan

The Rush will open up training camp on November 3rd, with the first preseason game being on November 25th against the Calgary Roughnecks in Moose Jaw.
