The Bruins have reacquired forward Dylan Smith and have added 20 year defenceman Nick Egan.
Here's the release from the team.
The Estevan Bruins have a pair of transactions to announce at the SJHL deadline.
The club would like to announce that 20-year-old forward Dylan Smith will be returning to the Bruins lineup for the remainder of the season. Smith has been playing with the Connecticut Oilers of the Eastern Junior Hockey League and was enjoying a strong season with 28 points in 25 games.
Bruins head coach and general manager Keith Cassidy says the team is excited to have Smith back in the lineup and look forward to his return.
“We feel Dylan can add an offensive element to our lineup that we’ve been searching for this season,” said Cassidy.
Smith’s return to the lineup will be dependent upon travel arrangements.
In a separate deal the club has also acquired defenceman Nick Egan from the Philadelphia Revolution of the EJHL. The six-foot-two 19-year-old has major junior experience with Acadie-Bathurst of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Cassidy said Egan is a rugged stay at home blueliner who was the captain of his team in Philadelphia.
Egan, who was acquired for future considerations, is expected to debut on Tuesday when the Bruins host the Notre Dame Hounds.

I had a chance to speak with Smith shortly after the trade was officially confirmed.
