The Kyle Turris saga is finally over. Yesterday, it was announced that the talented, yet enigmatic center has been traded to the Ottawa Senators. The Phoenix Coyotes will get defenseman David Rundblad and a second round pick in return. For the Coyotes, they get rid of a headache while getting a promising defenseman that had struggled in his rookie year. Turris had sat out the first two months of the season, and had done nothing in six games played. For both players, it is a fresh start, one that Turris clearly needed more. What he does with that is up to him, as he had already burned some bridges in the prolonged holdout with the Coyotes. For Rundblad, this is already his third team, as he was drafted by the Blues in 2009 and traded the following off-season to Ottawa. He is fast approaching Keith Ballard territory here, as Ballard was a first round pick that was traded around twice before playing his first NHL game.
