While the Arizona Coyotes made an unexpected trade with the Philadelphia Flyers on Friday, a potential player swap with another Metro team should be getting Coyotes fans excited.
According to TSN's Bob McKenzie, the Coyotes are one of the teams in contention for acquiring New York Rangers center Derek Stepan.
ARI, BTW, is one of multiple teams with serious interest in NYR C Derek Stepan.

For a franchise missing a clear #1 centerman, finding a way to get Stepan to Phoenix would be a coup for the team, and the move could potentially transform them from a Western Conference bottom feeder to a possible playoff contender.
