The Red Deer Rebels have made a significant trade with the Edmonton Oil Kings, sending 19-year-old forward Jaxon Fuder to Edmonton in return for 18-year-old forward Poul Andersen, two 16-year-old prospects—forward Brock Stevenson and forward Boris Sigachev—plus a conditional fourth-round selection in the 2027 WHL Prospects Draft. Poul Andersen, a St. Louis Park, Minnesota native, has recorded 16 points (11 goals, 5 assists) through 28 games with the Oil Kings this season. Last year, he put up an impressive 59 points in 51 games with the Sherwood Park Crusaders of the BCHL, earning a spot on the league’s All-Rookie Team. He also helped the Long Island Gulls capture the U.S. 16U Nationals Tier I title in 2023-24 and holds an NCAA commitment to the University of Maine. Brock Stevenson, originally drafted by Edmonton in the second round (27th overall) of the 2024 WHL U.S. Priority Draft, hails from Denver, Colorado. This season, he’s been a standout with Okanagan HA Colorado 16U AAA, tallying 52 points (23 goals, 29 assists) in 35 games. He followed that up from a strong 69-point campaign (in 48 games) at the 15U AAA level last year. Boris Sigachev, a fourth-round pick (71st overall) by the Oil Kings in the 2024 WHL Prospects Draft, comes from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Russia. Currently dominating with the Calgary Flames U18 AAA in the AEHL, he’s leading the league with 39 points (15 goals, 24 assists) in just 22 games. Sigachev was part of the Flames’ league championship run last season, contributing 35 points in 44 games, and earned AEHL U15 Second All-Star Team honors in 2023-24 with 42 points in 34 games. On the other side, Jaxon Fuder had been a key contributor for the Rebels since joining in October 2024, appearing in 73 games and posting 50 points (18 goals, 32 assists) along with 134 penalty minutes. The Cold Lake, Alberta native, who signed an entry-level deal with the Dallas Stars in September, was recognized with the Darcy Robinson Memorial Award as the team’s most underrated player for the 2024-25 season.
