Peddle traded to Charlottetown

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

Tyler Peddle has been traded to the Charlottetown Islanders.

The Saint John Sea Dogs announced Monday that the overage forward is off to Charlottetown in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick.

The move gives Peddle the chance to play a season with his younger brother, Brady Peddle. The younger Peddle, who is a Pittsburgh Penguins prospect, recently signed with the Islanders after spending last season with the USHL's Waterloo Black Hawks. Brady Peddle is committed to Michigan State for the 2026-27 season.

“Tyler is a player who plays the game the right way,” said Islanders head coach and general manager Jim Hulton in a news release. “He’s competitive, hard to play against, and brings the kind of experience and character we value.”

Peddle posted 15 goals and 14 assists in 54 games with Saint John last season. He had a hot start to the year but struggled to maintain that consistency. 

The Sea Dogs acquired Peddle from the Drummondville Voltigeurs during the 2023-24 holiday trade period. He registered 11 goals and seven assists in 28 games with Saint John in the second half of that season.

This will be Peddle's fifth season in the QMJHL. The second overall pick in the 2021 QMJHL Entry Draft, he's recorded 73 goals and 64 assists in 248 career games.

Peddle was a seventh-round pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2023 NHL Draft but did not sign with the club. 

The Sea Dogs and Islanders meet in pre-season play on Sept. 6 in Charlottetown. They meet in the regular season for the first time on Oct. 10 at Eastlink Centre.
