Pair of Coyotes linked to Eastern Conference teams

The Arizona Coyotes are going to be in sell mode leading up to the trade deadline on Monday, March 21st. Among the names that will garner the most interest are defenceman Jakob Chychrun and forward Lawson Crouse.

According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, the Coyotes would likely want to send Chychrun to the Eastern Conference and one team he expects to be all over him is the Carolina Hurricanes.

"I think if possible they want to send him East and to me that has Carolina written all over it. You look at Carolina's contracts, those are the kinds of guys they go after," Friedman said.

Friedman also mentioned that the Boston Bruins are looking to add a forward, with Jeff Marek saying that a potential player general manager Don Sweeney could look at is Coyotes forward Lawson Crouse.

Despite the Coyotes being dead last in both the Central Division and Western Conference, Crouse has been a bit of a bright spot up statistically. In 33 games this season, he's recorded 17 points (9 G, 8 A), which is good enough for fourth on his team, only behind Clayton Keller, Shayne Gostisbehere and Phil Kessel.

Big changes will be coming in the desert leading up to March 21st, it's just a matter of when, not if at this point it appears.
