The Arizona Coyotes have traded forward Mitchell Moroz to the Edmonton Oilers for forward Henrik Samuelsson.
The 22-year old Moroz was drafted 32nd overall in the 2nd round of the 2012 draft by the Oilers.
The 22-year old Samuelsson was drafted 27th overall in the 1st round of the 2012 draft by the Coyotes.
Jim Matheson: The Oilers wanted to draft Samuelsson in 2012. He’s skilled by his skating is a concern.
Jim Matheson: Moroz has always been a ‘worker’. Injuries kept slowing his development.
Jim Matheson: The Oilers tried to trade up to No. 27 to draft Samuelsson, but weren’t able too.
Jim Matheson: The Oilers AHL team could use a centerman, so they could use Samuelsson there, though most scouts think he’s better at right wing.
Jim Matheson: A classic trade of two players who were spinning their wheels within each organization.
