GLENDALE, ARIZONA --Arizona Coyotes President of Hockey Operations & General Manager John Chayka announced today that the Coyotes have acquired forward Vincent Hinostroza, defenseman Jordan Oesterle and Chicago's 2019 third round draft choice from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Marcus Kruger, Jordan Maletta, Andrew Campbell, MacKenzie Entwistle and Arizona's 2019 fifth round draft choice. The Coyotes also acquired the contract of forward Marian Hossa.
"Vinnie is a dynamic, right shot forward with high end skill," said Chayka. "We expect he will continue to grow his game with increased opportunity."

The 5-foot-9, 172-pound Hinostroza registered 7-18-25 and 10 penalty minutes (PIM) in 50 games with the Blackhawks last season. The 24-year-old forward also recorded 9-13-22 and eight PIM in 23 games with Rockford (AHL). The Barlett, IL native has tallied 13-26-39 and 33 PIM in 106 career NHL games with Chicago. He was originally drafted by the Blackhawks in the sixth round (169th overall) in the 2012 Entry Draft.
"Jordan is a mobile, puck moving defenseman who will join our great group on the back end," said Chayka. "He breaks out pucks very well and will join the rush offensively."
The 6-foot, 183-pound Oesterle registered 5-10-15 and eight PIM in 55 games with Chicago in 2017-18. The 26-year-old defenseman has recorded 5-16-21 and eight PIM in 80 career NHL games with the Blackhawks and Edmonton Oilers. The Dearborn Heights, MI native tallied an assist in one game and earned a bronze medal with Team USA at the 2018 World Championships.

The 6-foot-2, 207-pound Hossa did not play in 2017-18. The 39-year-old native of Stara Lubovna, SV has registered 525-609-1,134 and 628 PIM in 1,309 career NHL games with the Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, Pittsburgh Penguins, Atlanta Thrashers and Ottawa Senators.
