Arizona Coyotes
July.4.2017

Notable Trade -
Arizona send 24YR old Connor Murphy, 25YR old Garret Ross and a 4th pick in the 2018 draft to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for RD, 25, Nikita Zaitsev and LD, 20, Travis Dermott.

The exchange made between the two were considered "reasonable". Many Arizona fans question this move, as Connor Murphy is expected to be an elite defenseman in the coming years, but the move was more for salary cap reason.

Despite the loss, Arizona got a stable Zaitsev in the back end, and Dermott has a lot of time to improve into a decent pick up for the team.
