Posted 02/28/2011 - 15:23 by HockeyPolls
A short while ago, the Phoenix Coyotes and Columbus Blue Jackets made a surprising trade. The Coyotes were not expected to make moves today, since they have been sitting well in the conference.
Unfortunately, Phoenix's best defenseman, Ed Jovanovski, recently went down with an injury. Phoenix wanted to boost defense in place of Jovanovski.
To Phoenix:
Defenseman Rostislav Klesla
Prospect Forward Dane Byers
To Columbus:
Forward Scottie Upshall
Defenseman Sami Lepisto
Here are the pros and cons of this trade.
