Phoenix Coyotes Trade Announcement

[silentsim]

The Phoenix Coyotes make another splash, just days before the trade deadline. The Phoenix Coyotes have acquired the much coveted and desired #1 C for their franchise.

Off to the Desert is Centre Ryan Getzlaf. He will be re-united with friend and line mate Corey Perry.


Off to Anaheim is
2012 FLA First
2013 PHO First
Lance Bouma
Mark Alt

Obtaining a #1 Center is a very difficult task, and the Coyotes are glad to have that search out of the way. The Coyotes have one game left in the 2011-2012 season needing a win to clinch a playoff spot, or a Flames loss.

Thanks to Ravi for the negotiations.

Love this deal for both teams!

Good work gents.

[I wanna be like Miikka]

Well clearly players with good ratings just do not result in winning for the Ducks. If we even back into the playoffs we will lose in round 1 so I figured it was best to make deals I felt brought good value long term. Being able to bring in the 1st overall pick in addition to another 1st in 2013 and a grinder like Bouma felt like a good move to do given all the cap issues we will likely face this summer.

Thanks to Phoenix for the fun talks!

Let's be real here Ravi. Bouma was the main piece in this deal.

Good deal for both guys. Nice work.
