Not a bad trade at all! Id do that so fast. Its amazing to think we now have the defensive depth to move some guys out. I like Bigras but with dude wheres Makar and Timmins coming up hes easily expendable.

Big Russ would be a tough one to let go bc we have been attached to his hope for a long time.
But something along the way, injuries, AHL development, whatever it may be, he has stumbled. Originally I thought he was going to be a lock as a Top 4 guy. Now he probably will just be a good 3rd pairing guy. Still valuable but not untouchable in trade.
The rumour asked for the coyotes was a pick, looking for a 2nd rounder. Not sure ifi they get it but thats the target return.
Heck if you are able to give up a 3rd or Bigras on a gamble. Who knows. But I wouldnt give up a 2nd...look at Lazar, Flames gave up a 2nd and it doesnt look like its worth it. Usually reclaim project guys are not worth the high pick
