The Coyotes get: Their No.1 center and a new No.1 goaltender. I think Coyotes' fans will find that Raanta is a better goaltender than Mike Smith - especially [...]
Further to my post earlier today on the forwards (read it here), here are the defensemen and goaltenders for the Vegas Golden Knights. Vegas loaded up on defensemen with the strategy that they would use them as trade bait and further stockpile draft picks. So much of the below will change. Defensemen Theodore – [...]
