Bødker makes historic NHL move

Long time Arizona Coyote traded to the Colorado Avalanche

After eight years on the ice in Phoenix playing for the Arizona Coyotes, Danish NHL star Mikkel Bødker has been traded to the Colorado Avalanche.

The Danish winger, who ranks as the Coyotes’ third best point producer this season with 39 points (13 goals, 26 assists) in 62 games, was traded for forward Alex Tanguay and two prospects, Kyle Wood and Conner Bleackley, on NHL’s trade deadline day.

“We want to thank you for eight seasons in the desert and wish you nothing but the best,” the Coyotes wrote on Twitter.
