Hat Tricks trade Alexander Legkov to Pee Dee IceCats

The Danbury Hat Tricks announced that forward Alexander Legkov has been traded to the Pee Dee IceCats in exchange for forward Eli Rivers, goaltender Ricardo Gonzalez and financial considerations. The team also sent the rights to Drew Welsch to Pee Dee as part of the deal.

Legkov, 21, appeared in 28 games for Danbury this season. The rookie led the team with 19 goals and 24 assists for 43 points. With a 1.5 points-per-game average, he is on pace for 84 points, which would have been the second-most in a single season in team history.

In return, the Hat Tricks added Rivers, who has seven goals and nine assists in 26 games for the IceCats this season. Danbury also gains goaltender Gonzalez, who is in his fourth FPHL season and has a 7-8-0-3 record with an .883 save percentage.
