HESHKA TO PHOENIX

The Phoenix Coyotes acquired defenseman Shaun Heshka from the Vancouver Canucks for a seventh-round draft pick in 2009.

What does it give the Phoenix Coyotes
The Coyotes did well to add several defensemen to their ranks during draft weekend. Heshka is scheduled to become a restricted free agent on July 1, so the Coyotes will probably make him a qualifying offer.

What does it give the Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks likely received a pick/prospect for nothing, since they were likely to set Heshka free on July 1 and not tender him a qualifying offer. So, they'll take their chances with prospect Steven Anthony, instead.
