Saskatoon, SK – The Saskatoon Blades are pleased to announce the acquisition of forward Justin Lies, from the Vancouver Giants, in exchange for forward Kyren Gronick and a 2nd round pick in the 2025 WHL Prospects Draft.
“Justin is the exact type of player we’ve been coveting over the last year to help add size, ability and tenacity to our forward group,” commented Blades President and General Manager Colin Priestner.
The power forward, who stands 6’2” and weighs 205lbs, attended Las Vegas Golden Knights Rookie Camp in July.
“He is very difficult to play against and creates room for his linemates every shift,” continued Priestner. “We think he brings an element that was missing from our team with his style of play and his competitiveness.”
The Saskatoon Blades would like to thank Kyren Gronick for his service to the team and wish him the best in Vancouver with the Giants.
