Florida Panthers Make Trade With Arizona Coyotes

The Florida Panthers have found a suitor for Dave Bolland‘s contract, the Arizona Coyotes, but it came at a cost.

So that the Coyotes would take on dead weight of Bolland’s contract, the Panthers had to sweeten the deal by adding 2015 first round pick Lawson Crouse.

A big power forward, standing at 6’4″, Crouse was expected to contend for a roster spot this year, as Florida had some openings on the bottom two lines.

Getting rid of Bolland’s contract though was a bigger priority, as there serious concern on whether or not he will ever play hockey again.
