Arizona Coyotes: Two Trades… Really? Is That IT?

When one analyzes the off-season deals that the Arizona Coyotes made to improve this team, it’s quite disappointing. One trade went down when the Yotes sent Lauri Korpikoski to Edmonton for Boyd Gordon. Korpikoski was not performing very well, coming in with just six goals, and 15 assists in 69 games. To add insult to injury, his −27 +/- was also good reason to try and find a new address for him.
