One thing we want to analyze here at Howlin’ Hockey is when we might be seeing a trade from the Arizona Coyotes.

To do that we are going to look to the past to see what months the Arizona Coyotes have made in-season trades under GM John Chayka.

2016-17 Season

The Coyotes started to make some movies in December during the 2017-17 season. They made a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs to send Peter Holland to Arizona for a draft pick. Then the ‘Yotes followed it up with a trade-in January to send Henrik Samuelsson to Edmonton.

In February the ‘Yotes made a few moves. On the first, they made a trade with Dallas to send Justin Peters and Justin Hache to Dallas in exchange for Brendan Ranford, Branden Troock.

The Coyotes also made deals with Calagary Minnesota and Colorado to end the year. The most notable player traded from Arizona was Martin Hanzal, who went to Minnesota at the time.

2016-17 was something of a lost year for the Coyotes. The ‘Yotes under Dave Tippett finished the season with a record of 30-42-10 so it makes sense why they gave up so much at the deadline.
