The Arizona Coyotes are making moves on the trade market, just not the ones you’d expect.
They traded Tucson Roadrunners’ goaltender Justin Peters and defender Justin Hache to the Texas Stars in exchange for Brendan Ranford and Branden Troock.
The move was a bit out of the blue, but it makes perfect sense for Tucson.
Adin Hill has emerged as a legitimate goaltender for the Roadrunners. He’s appeared in 20 games and has posted a .923 save percentage through the first four months of his first season in the AHL.
In short, he’s probably a bit ahead of where the Coyotes’ front office expected him to be at this point.
