Ovechkin is off to NJ

[flambers]

Coyotes for what ever reason, could not find the proper line mates to make Alex Ovechkin happy.... Alex quietly spoke to the Coyotes GM during Xmas requesting for a trade.



Coyotes were looking for a player who could help with the lack of team chemistry and organization depth.

I would like to thank the Devils GM for a fun trade

To NJ

Alex Ovechkin

To Coyotes

Tyler Johnson
Conner Bleackley
Timo Meier
1st - 2016 (Cal)

In other news, the Coyotes are looking for a Left Winger or Right Winger who could play on the 1st or 2nd line.

Coyotes have many Center's within the organization would like to move one for a good winger.

Really like it for Phoenix. Big fan of Johnson, if he can overcome his slump/injury concern then that's a great deal for the Coyotes.

Wow, nice trade guys. Hard to argue that the team that gets Ovechkin didn't win the trade. Still, that is a nice package of picks and prospects going to flambers.

thats a heck of a lot more then i expected to see ovie go for (again). win for the yotes, imo.

[JiriHrdina]

Nice deal Jeff. AO is a goof.

I knew I overpaid but wanted to grab a star/elite player to see if I can make it work. That being said giving up the top player on my team and a possible lottery pick was tough.
