The Phoneix Coyotes have traded forwards Peter Mueller and Kevin Porter to the Colorado Avalanche for Wojtek Wolski. This is a great hockey trade where players of high-end talent find new homes to hopefully realize their potential.
Wolski is perhaps most well known for his ability to score on the shootout. He is extremely streaky but also has a very high skill set. He has 60-70 point upside if he could ever put it all together and perhaps he'll be able to gain more consistency in Phoenix.
Mueller, meanwhile, was a very highly touted prospect in the Coyotes system but his game has really fallen off the map this year. He is often invisible at times and the knock on him is that he doesn't get involved enough physically despite the fact he is a big body at 6-2, 205 lbs. Mueller should have a great opportunity to regain his form and develop with the other young players in Colorado and should have the chance to play on a line with either Paul Stastny or Matt Duchene, two high-end playmaking centers.
Kevin Porter could end up playing on a line with Ryan O'Reilly. Porter is a depth winger who plays a solid 2-way game but holds little fantasy value.
