McBain would not sign with the Wild, so he was dealt to the Coyotes before the trade deadline and signed his entry-level deal on Wednesday. The 22-year-old centre is 6-foot-4 and 208 lbs, and scored 19 goals with 14 assists (33 points) in 24 games with Boston College this season.





McBain was a third-round pick of the Wild in 2018 but his agent informed the Wild earlier this month that he planned to become a free agent this summer rather than sign with Minnesota. McBain led Boston College with 33 points (19G / 14A) in 24 games this season.

Vejmelka came over from the Czech League and has played well for the Coyotes this season, going 10-23-1 with a 3.35 GAA and .905 SV% behind one of the league's worst clubs. With Scott Wedgewood getting traded to Dallas on Sunday, Vejmelka is the unquestioned No.1 netminder in Arizona moving forward. His three-year extension will keep him with the team the 2024-25 season.












Connauton was hurt in Saturday's game vs. the Blackhawks and will be replaced by Nick Seeler in the lineup on Tuesday. The Flyers do not have a timetable for Connauton's return.
