The Philadelphia Flyers have traded forward Jordan Weal to the Arizona Coyotes for defenseman Jacob Graves.
The 26-year old Weal was drafted 70th overall in the 3rd round of the 2010 draft by the LA Kings. He carries a $1.75 million salary cap hit.
The 23-year old Graves was undrafted.
Dave Vest: Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet on the addition of Weal: “He plays that center position, which we’re lacking depth at right now, so we’re excited to get him. There’s some offense to his game, and I think he’s got a good hockey IQ, which I like.
