Insider Trading: Coyotes should blow it up sooner than later

The Arizona Coyotes can put up the For Sale sign any time.

Afterall, the holiday season freeze is set for Dec. 19 at midnight and it might be in GM John Chayka’s best interests to see if he can offer up a few early Boxing Day bargains like Martin Hanzal, Radim Vrbata, Ryan White and defenceman Michael Stone before all the talk comes to a halt.

All are unrestricted free agents on July 1 and already they’re being floated in the NHL’s marketplace because the Coyotes went into Saturday night’s visit by the Nashville Predators with a lousy 8-13-5 record and only 21 points in 26 games.
