Coyotes fans...another change to the team's look may be on the horizon.
Last night on CBC's Hot Stove, ESPN.com and CBC reporter Pierre LeBrun reported that the Toronto Maple Leafs had a "strong" offer for forward Kris Versteeg, formerly of the Chicago Blackhawks. Reports out of Toronto this morning say the Coyotes are the team that made the offer. The offer reportedly would send forward Wojtek Wolski and either forwards Mikkel Boedker or Kyle Turris to Toronto for Kris Versteeg. Wolski is in head coach Dave Tippett's doghouse for the inability to be the scorer they hoped he would become after acquiring him from the Colorado Avalanche for Peter Mueller and Kevin Porter. He signed a deal in the offseason for around four-million dollars a year. Wolski has been known as a "floater," a guy who just kinda skates around and doesn't want to work toward scoring chances. When he wants to contribute, he is a very good player and puts up points, but he is very inconsistant. Against the Kings on Wednesday, Wolski was on the fourth line with Paul Bissonnette and Vernon Fiddler. Reportedly Wolski was not thrilled to be on that line and had a blow up. I definately could see the Coyotes moving Wolski before the trade deadline and with the lack of scoring and lapses in defense, I can see General Manager Don Maloney do something sooner than later not only up front, but on the blue line.
