Alex Tanguay has been traded to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for Mikkel Boedker, a 26-year old native of Denmark and former 8th overall draft pick in 2008. Craig Custance reported the first part of the trade via Twitter shortly after 11:00 AM MST on Monday.
Adrian Dater just minutes later the Alex Tanguay would be headed to Arizona in return, a move sure to break the hearts of many long-time Avalanche fans despite his fallen production.
But he wasn't the only piece headed back in exchange for Boedker.
