Mynio is the second Canucks CHL prospect to be traded this season, joining Vilmer Alriksson, who was dealt in the OHL just a few weeks ago. In 18 games this season, Mynio had 19 points and was named co-captain of Seattle back in November. Drafted 89th overall by Vancouver in 2023, Mynio played 196 games with the Thunderbirds and was part of their 2023 Memorial Cup team that made it all the way to the final.

As for the Hitmen, they are building a talented team that could go on a run this year. Calgary now has six drafted players on their roster, including Carter Yakemchuk, who was a top-ten pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. The Hitmen currently sit third in the Eastern Conference and have put together a record of 20-11-3-1 through 35 games.
