The Carolina Hurricanes have traded fourth-line center turned AHL playoff scratch Marcus Kruger to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for forward Jordan Martinook. The clubs also swapped mid-round draft picks in the deal, as the Canes will send a 2018 third-round pick to the desert in exchange for a 2018 fourth-round pick.
As a part of the deal, Carolina will retain 10% of Kruger’s salary in the 2018-19 season.
The Canes traded a fifth-round pick in the 2018 NHL Draft to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for Kruger last summer.
