Hearing CHI/ARIZ working on deal where Coyotes take Marian Hossa’s contract. Believe Hinostroza is part of deal

It was already known that Chicago Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman wanted to move Marian Hossa’s contract this offseason after Hossa announced his retirement. What might have to go along with that contract should it be traded was less clear.
Apparently, the answer is Vinnie Hinostroza and Jordan Oesterle. The Hinostroza part of this is a bit of a surprise, although it’s not like the Arizona Coyotes would be willing to take on someone like Chris Kunitz along with Hossa’s contract.
