The Buffalo Bandits today traded forward Roy Colsey and a second-round entry draft pick to the New Jersey Storm for forward Kerry Susheski, defenseman Jordan Guindon, and a first-round draft pick.

The trade moves Buffalo into the fifth-overall spot in the entry draft, tentatively scheduled for September.

The Bandits, who traded their own first-round pick last winter, will now be drafting in the opening round for the first time in two years, when they selected Ryan Powell with the second-overall pick.

The central figure in the trade, though, is Colsey, an All-Star this season after scoring 47 goals and posting 29 assists in seventeen games this season with the Bandits and the New York Saints.

New York traded Colsey to Buffalo in February, headlining a blockbuster day of trading for the Bandits in which they shifted ten players (four in, five out, and one passing through) and two draft picks among two trades.

Susheski and Guindon, both natives of British Columbia, join the Bandits after solid rookie campaigns for the first-year Storm. The former recorded eleven goals, two assists, and 46 loose balls recovered in eleven games, while the latter posted two goals, three assists and fifteen scoops in eight games.
