The Arizona Coyotes continued their major rebuild for the future with Saturday's trade of center Christian Dvorak to the Montreal Canadiens, which netted them a first-round pick in next year's NHL Draft and a second-round choice in 2024.
Dvorak departs after five seasons with the Coyotes, having been drafted in the second round in 2014. He made his Coyotes debut at age 20 in 2016, and went on to play 302 career games with 146 points scored.
The two-way center had 17 goals and 14 assists last season, playing all 56 of the team's games. He won 52.
