Trade Alert: Panthers trade veteran Anton Stralman

This just in from NHL insider Pierre LeBrun, the Florida Panthers have reportedly traded veteran defenseman Anton Stralman to the Arizona Coyotes.

No word yet on the return but Stralman has one year left at $5.4 million and given the Coyotes' moves so far this offseason, it wouldn't be surprising if this was a pure salary cap dump on the Panthers' part.

Anton Stralman has agreed to waive his NTC to facilitate a trade to Arizona. Believe Florida and Arizona finalizing a trade now. Trade call still pending.

More from Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman:

FLA/ARIZ deal is Stralman, Vladislav Kolyachonok (52nd in 2019), and a 2nd in 2024 for a 7th in 2023. @PierreVLeBrun had Stralman approval

The Coyotes have acquired some truly awful contracts this offseason by trading for Andrew Ladd, Loui Eriksson, Antoine Roussel, Jay Beagle and now Stralman. Stay tuned for full details of this deal once confirmed.
