Reading, PA - The Reading Royals, proud ECHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers and Lehigh Valley Phantoms, announced that they have acquired defenseman Logan Britt and Future Considerations from the Greenville Swamp Rabbits as part of a three-way deal. In this transaction, forward Devon Paliani was sent to the Savannah Ghost Pirates in exchange for forward Brent Pedersen.
