The Coyotes have acquired Anton Stralman, Vladislav Kolyachonok and 2024 2nd round pick from the Panthers for a 2023 7th round pick.

Stralman has one-year left at $5.5M AAV and moving him frees up space that the Panthers will use to re-sign Sam Reinhart. Stralman will join Jakob Chychrun, Ilya Lyubushkin and Shayne Gostisbehere as the only NHL regulars on the Coyotes' blueline right now.
