Good deal for Coyotes, they desperately need some consistent scoring. Pittsburgh wanted to move certain guys for a combination of contract and the direction they were heading as individuals. Gally will probably put up points there and they probably like his versatility.

I get the sense this was a cap move, a locker room move and a "better too early than too late" move by the Penguins. I'll trust their judgment based on track record. For AZ, they get exactly what they need now, we'll see what happens long term. Tocchet's presence there is certainly a plus.
