The Arizona Coyotes have been encountering unique goaltending scenarios for several seasons now.
Some of them are self-inflicted with bad contracts or trades, while others are injury related.
Whatever the case, these scenarios have revealed some vulnerabilities in the Coyotes’ system.
That hasn’t changed in 2016-17, and February has been a busy month in goaltending management for the club.
Minor League Moves
On February 1st 2017, the Coyotes’ moves on the trade market commenced with an unexpected minor league trade.
The deal sent Roadrunners goaltender Justin Peters and defenseman Justin Hache to the Dallas Stars in exchange for Brendan Ranford and Branden Troock.
