Coyotes trade Hanzal to Wild for 3 draft picks
Martin Hanzal is headed to the Minnesota Wild.
The Arizona Coyotes dealt the veteran forward to the Wild in exchange for Minnesota's first-round pick in 2017, second-round selection in 2018, and a conditional pick in 2019, the Coyotes announced Sunday.
According to TSN's Bob McKenzie, the conditional pick in 2019 is a fourth-rounder, but becomes a third-round pick if the Wild win one playoff round, and a second-round pick if the Wild win two rounds.
The Wild also acquired winger Ryan White and Arizona's 2017 fourth-round pick in the deal, according to McKenzie, while Minnesota farmhand Grayson Downing is also headed to Arizona.
As part of the deal, the Coyotes will retain 50 percent of Hanzal's contract.
Hanzal has appeared in 51 games with Arizona this season, recording 16 goals and 10 assists.
