It is in no way controversial to say that the Arizona Coyote’s offense has been streaky this season. During the month of November they have been held to 2 or fewer goals in eight of eleven games. Clearly the team was in need of a shakeup, and John Chayka delivered that after a 6-1 loss to the Calgary Flames by sending Dylan Strome and Brendan Perlini to the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for center Nick Schmaltz.
This isn’t a move that should surprise fans of the team. Dylan Strome was clearly in a make or break season, and while he is much better compared to last season he still has a ways to go.
