The Raiders selected Strand in the sixth round of the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft.
The Raiders also gave the Royals a sixth and 10th round pick in the 2018 bantam draft and a third-round pick in 2019.
The Royals have been involved in six separate trades since the start of December.
The WHL trade deadline is January 10.
