NHL Rumors: Latest Update On Coyotes’ Oliver Ekman-Larsson Trade Talks
The 'Yotes seem intent on finding a way to move OEL
It seems all but certain that the Arizona Coyotes will, at some point, move Oliver Ekman-Larsson.
That obviously has yet to happen, though.
The cap-crunched Coyotes appear to be trying to move the remaining seven years of their captain’s deal off the books, as it carries a hefty $8.25 million annual cap hit. So far, the Boston Bruins and Vancouver Canucks have been considered the likeliest suitors for OEL, but it seems the size of his contract, unsurprisingly, has complicated things.
That’s pretty much where things stand for now, according to the latest update from TSN’s Darren Dreger.
Dreger long has said moving Ekman-Larsson would be a “complicated transaction.” The Coyotes seem more than willing to try and get it done, but finding a fit presents an obvious hurdle.
Time will tell if they can clear that bar.
