Oilers and Coyotes complete a big deal

[savardandjokinen]

To Edmonton: Artemi Panarin

To Phoenix: Jason Zucker, Tyler Pitlick, Ryan Lindgren, 26th OV

Really like Zucker and think he’s a good player but he had a down year and the Oilers were in big need of a scorer. We looked at our lineup and thought we had everything except for a bonafide star scoring forward. Panarin brings that, having come off an 87 point season. Also going the other way are Tyler Pitlick, a solid depth player that we had no space for, Ryan Lindgren, a solid defensive prospect who got his cup of coffee with the Rangers this season, and 26th overall, which is always a good place to be picking. Gotta give to get.

Thanks to flambers for the quick and easy deal!

I like this deal for one of the teams involved. I like it less for the other team!

Thank you for the quick trade, Coyotes newly acquired Jason Zucker had a tough year last season... Of which his points total dropped....

However, Coyotes are confident he can and will rebound.

Organization however really required an influx of prospects.

This trade adds more depth....
