Report: Coyotes won't deal Hanzal unless they get young NHLer in return

The Arizona Coyotes reportedly have a specific price tag in any trade discussions about Martin Hanzal.

"What I'm told they're saying to people is, 'Unless we get a young player who can play right now, preferably a center, we're not going to do it,'" Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on Saturday's "Headlines" segment.

Hanzal said he'd prefer to shut down contract negotiations with the Coyotes when asked about his future in Arizona last month.

The 29-year-old is a pending unrestricted free agent who's played more than 64 games only once in the last five 82-game campaigns.

He's currently injured and has four points in nine contests this season.
