LUNDMARK FOR TAFFE
The Phoenix Coyotes acquired forward Jamie Lundmark from the New York Rangers for forward Jeff Taffe.
What does it give the Phoenix Coyotes
This is essentially a trade of spare parts for both clubs. Taffe was not seeing regular ice time, so a change of scenery was needed. Lundmark will probably ease his way into the Phoenix lineup, and may be used at all three forward positions by new coach Wayne Gretzky.
What does it give the New York Rangers
The Rangers gave Lundmark one final shot at earning top-six minutes this training camp, but he lost that battle to the likes of Marcel Hossa and Petr Prucha. So, Taffe will now serve as the Rangers' extra forward and be used at all three forward positions (and in whatever role is needed).
