Desert Dog fans bark after Arizona grabs Anthony DeAngelo

The fantasy impact of the Coyotes trading for Anthony DeAngelo …
The Arizona Coyotes acquired Anthony DeAngelo from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for the 37th overall selection (Libor Hajek) in the 2016 Entry Draft Saturday, June 25.
Deal Breakdown
The emergence of Slater Koekkoek, and the logjam ahead of DeAngelo in Tampa Bay, allowed the Lightning to move the polarizing defenseman for another asset.
Arizona continued their trend this weekend of identifying players and aggressively targeting them. Remember, DeAngelo was a draft-day faller in his own 2014 class, and now was acquired for a second-round pick after posting 43 points through 69 games in the American Hockey League this season.
Fantasy Skinny
DeAngelo joins an improved defense corps, which has undergone a complete overhaul of late. Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Alex Goligoski, Zbynek Michalek, Michael Stone and Connor Murphy should all allow DeAngelo and 2016-draftee Jakob Chychrun time to develop their game without the burden of high-leverage minutes against tough competition.
DeAngelo should see some time with Arizona in 2016-17, but his fantasy value is likely limited. His acquistion further downgrades the fantasy upside of Stone, and in the long run, could hurt Murphy's chances of sticking with the club.
DeAngelo's fantasy stock doesn't shift significantly. However, it isn't out of the question to suggest, when he's ready to be a full-time player in the NHL, Arizona will look a lot like Tampa Bay does currently up and down the lineup. This should prove to be a better situation for the talented offensive rearguard.
The Prospect
D Libor Hajek: It will take a lot of work for Hajek to be an offensive contributor at the highest level. However, he should develop into a solid defensive presence for the Tampa Bay down the line. He's off the fantasy radar for now.

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – The Wilkes-Jarry Penguins
Elizabeth and Lewis are back to take listeners through a host of power play changes that are giving managers the opportunity to get exposure to great players off the waiver wire, including Philly, Jersey, and Tampa talk. They also cover Jarry’s AHL demotion, Cooley’s ascension to the top-line and powerplay, and injuries to Tavares and Hintz. The duo wrap up with some hot and cold streak deep dives, including discussion of the Red Wings crazy powerplay success in the last ten games, whether Erik Gustafsson is rosterable or an overperforming illusion, Fantilli’s continued success, Merilainen as Hamburglar 2.0, and whether Schenn’s success and Neighbours’ lack thereof are likely to continue.

I can’t understand why Arizona acquired him with OEL and Goligoski signed long-term. Especially when a multitude of teams need to address puck-movement on the defensive end, the price Tampa accepted here seems way too low. I mean, you’d have to figure that any of Colorado, Vancouver, Detroit, Edmonton, Ottawa, and Pittsburgh could’ve used his services a lot more urgently than the ‘Yotes. I don’t think I’d be remiss in adding Boston, Toronto and Columbus to that list either. Any insight into why Tampa would essentially give up on him so quickly, and for such a small return? As it stands this is a very odd deal to me.
Ramblings tonight. But I gave some thoughts in this thread: https://t.co/tOcqNxwV4u
