The Arizona Coyotes general manager Bill Armstrong was very busy during the 2021 offseason. The order of the day was getting as many draft picks as possible, and part of Armstrong’s plan to do that was by acquiring the contracts of overpaid players in exchange for picks. Most players Armstrong traded for had just one year left on their deal, with the most prominent exception being defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere.
