“He was a good Pat and we wish him all the best.”

McNutt appeared in the Pats’ first eight games of the 2022-23 season, registering 20 penalty minutes. Last season, he had two goals, four assists and 76 penalty minutes in 47 games, spent with the Pats and Prince Albert Raiders.

Leading up to Wednesday’s WHL 20-year-old deadline, the Pats released goaltender Koen MacInnes. That move leaves the Pats with their full complement of three overage players — Brown, defenceman Luke Bateman and forward Cole Dubinsky. That number does not include injured forward Jakob Brook.
