The Arizona Coyotes acquired center Nick Schmaltz from the Chicago Blackhawks Sunday in exchange for forwards Dylan Strome and Brendan Perlini.
All three players in the deal are former first-round draft picks.
Schmaltz, 22, was selected 20th overall by Chicago in 2014 and has two goals and nine assists in 23 games this season.
"Nick is a dynamic forward with top-line potential," said John Chayka, Arizona's head of hockey operations. "We feel he can be a core player of our team now and into the future.
