In the fall of 2016, the Brandon Wheat Kings unveiled their leadership group, naming Nolan Patrick (second from left) their captain, along with alternate captains Tanner Kaspick (left), Kale Clague and Tyler Coulter (right). The team refused to trade Patrick at the 2017 deadline but parted ways with Kaspick and Clague in 2018 for an incredible bounty. Both of those decisions could be repeated across the WHL in the next week as the trade deadline nears. (Perry Bergson/The Brandon Sun)
