Even after growing up in Chicago and playing for his hometown Blackhawks for parts of three seasons, it didn’t take long for center Vinnie Hinostroza to know he was going somewhere that felt like it’s own kind of home.
Hinostroza was working out when he got the phone call from his agent that he was bound for Arizona along with defenseman Jordan Oesterle in a trade that sent forwards Marcus Kruger, MacKenzie Entwistle, Jordan Maletta and defenseman Andrew Campbell to the Blackhawks.
Hinostroza hung up with his agent and turned to his workout partner with an ear-to-ear smile.
