The deal effectively sees two AHL level players swapped between the Duck and Arizona Coyotes, with the team’s minor league affiliates getting some offensive help.
The Tucson Roadrunners have had a positive first half of the seasons in the AHL, currently sitting second in the Pacific Division, behind the San Jose Barracuda.
