Coyotes Make Major Leap On Deadline Day

The Phoenix Coyotes may be the big winners on trade deadline Wednesday. They added several NHL caliber players without giving up too much -- one solid prospect, a few mediocre ones and a few late-round picks. Nothing major.

Travis Hair at SBN's Five for Howling analyzed the Coyotes' moves from a fans perspective.

An excerpt:

Everyone was looking at the Coyotes as buyers of a guy or two at the deadline. We needed another solid defenseman and maybe a forward that could help on the power play a little bit. I don't think there was anyone outside the Coyotes front office that thought the Coyotes would make a total of seven deals getting five NHL level players and a few AHL ones. With the moves they did make though, the Coyotes are certainly even more dangerous than they were earlier this morning.
