The Coyotes add a physical presence on their blue-line, and a contract onto their books.
When the Arizona Coyotes sent signals out earlier this week suggesting that Sam Gagner was a potential buyout target, it seemed like his days in Sedona Red were all but over.
The Arizona Coyotes announced this afternoon that Gagner was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for defenseman Nicklas Grossmann and the contract of Chris Pronger.
Grossmann recorded five goals and nine assists in 68 games for Philadelphia last season.
