After a busy stretch that saw them acquire the likes of Mikhail Sergachev, Ian Cole, and John Marino, the Utah Hockey Club continues their active off-season with a notable minor league player exchange, acquiring a former second-round pick from the Ottawa Senators.
According to TSN's Chris Johnston, Utah has acquired 6-foot-3 winger Egor Sokolov, who has amassed an impressive 61 goals over the past three seasons with the Belleville Senators of the AHL. In return, they've sent former third-round pick Jan Jenik back to the Senators following three underwhelming NHL seasons with the Coyotes.
In the grand scheme, this trade may hold minimal impact for both teams. However, it represents a low-risk, potentially high-reward move, especially for Utah, given their active off-season. Confidence in their decisions appears to be high.
