CHIMERA TO PHOENIX
The Phoenix Coyotes acquired left wing Jason Chimera and a third-round draft pick in 2004 from the Edmonton Oilers for a second-round draft pick in 2004 and a fourth-round draft pick in 2004.
What does it give the Phoenix Coyotes
In Chimera, the Coyotes land a speedy left wing that has a chance to see greater ice time in the Desert. He should compete for a roster spot at training camp, and may emerge on the checking line in due time.
What does it give the Edmonton Oilers
The loss of Chimera creates an opening for prospect Jani Rita. The Oilers will probably give Rita one final shot at cracking their lineup on a permanent basis. Edmonton may not have made Chimera a qualifying offer, so dealing him for picks makes sense.
