Phoenix gets: D/W Jamie Rivers
Detroit gets: seventh-round draft pick in 2007
Scott Burnside's instant analysis: After unloading Denis Gauthier and Sean O'Donnell, the Coyotes partially replenished their defensive stock with journeyman Rivers, who had played in just 15 games this season. Still, you can bet former Detroit assistant Barry Smith, now an assistant in Phoenix, sees something in Rivers.
