The Saskatchewan Rush make two trades in two days, which included the departure of long-time stalwart Mark Matthews. yxe

That first-round pick beefed up their 2023 stockpile to three, and they dealt one of those the following day, sending the No. 5 overall pick to the Panther City Lacrosse Club along with unrestricted free agent Matt Beers, for 2022 NLL rookie-of-the-year finalist Patrick Dodds, a forward and forward Cam Wengreniuk.

The 33-year-old Matthews was second in Rush scoring this past season, and 14th on the overall league list, with 25 goals, 73 assists and 98 points in 18 games. He won three NLL titles with the Rush.“It’s not easy to give up the best player in the history of the franchise,” Keenan said. “But the reality is, we need to make changes, and he’s our biggest asset to move. After next season, he’s a UFA , with no protection rights at all. A smart move for us, from a long-term perspective.

Manns has played three seasons in the NLL, and collected 36 points in 16 games with the Rock in 2022-23.
