The Calgary Flames have traded long-time Calgary Wranglers defender Jeremie Poirier to the Dallas Stars. In return, they have received right shot defenceman Gavin White.
Jeremie Poirier was drafted 72nd overall in the 2020 NHL Draft by the Flames and has played his whole professional career with the AHL affiliate. Gavin White was drafted in the 2022 NHL Draft by the Dallas Stars. The Flames have already announced that White will be joining the Wranglers roster. 
Poirier will forever hold the pride of scoring the first Wranglers goal of their inaugural season and is among the top 10 of many categories for the AHL squad. He played 198 games with the Wranglers, putting up 18 goals and 84 assists. His games put him third in total games played with the team and his point total put him fourth in all-time scoring for the Wranglers.  For now, Poirier leads the all-time assist category with 84. Dryden Hunt is one behind him with 83.
Poirier was a prospect who lost quite a bit of his prime to a terrible skate laceration injury to his arm in the 2023-24 season. It took him some time to come back, but still managed to put up career points the following season. This year has been a struggle for Poirier. He has not been an everyday roster choice and prospects are passing him by. In 35 games with the Wranglers this year, he has put up one goal and five assists. It may have been his time for a fresh start.
What the Flames and Wranglers are getting out of this trade is Gavin White. White is the same age as Poirier at 23 years old. He’s played in a total of 118 AHL games with a point production line of five goals and 27 assists. Last season, he had a brief stint with the Idaho Steelheads of the ECHL, where he played in three games and put up one goal. 
This season, White has played in 23 out of 43 Stars games and seems to be in a similar spot as Poirier. White has won two championships in the OHL with the Hamilton Bulldogs in 2021-22 and the Peterborough Petes in 2022-23. His best season in the OHL was in the 2021-22 campaign, where he had 10 goals and 46 assists in 66 games. White will likely benefit from a new routine in a place where he might be able to work back to his major junior hockey successes. 
The Wranglers play next Tuesday night against the Bakersfield Condors. With it being such a quick turnaround, it’s likely White will not be available for that game. The AHL plays through the Olympic break, so his first looks in a Wranglers jersey will likely be at home this weekend against the Tucson Roadrunners. Gavin White wore number eight for the Stars and this jersey number is available on the Wranglers.
