The Arizona Coyotes are likely to part with Mikkel Boedker before Monday’s trade deadline.
Despite their best efforts to sign him to a respectable deal with considerable term, Boedker and his agent have been unwilling to budge.
Their reported demand is $6M per year on a long term deal and it is no surprise the Arizona Coyotes’ front office is balking at that price.
That changes the question from “how do we sign him?” to “what can we get for him?” if you’re general manager Don Maloney. The rumors have circled that though the Coyotes haven’t received an offer of a first round pick, it’s not unlikely that they’ll be able to secure at least that level of asset in trade.
