The Phoenix Coyotes traded Raffi Torres to the San Jose Sharks for a third-round pick Wednesday.

 

Torres, whose cap hit is $1.75 million, is known as one of the biggest agitators in the game, but his 13 penalty minutes in 28 games this season suggests something might have changed with Torres. He is a grinder that can get under the skin of opposing teams’ top players.

The 31-year-old has five goals, seven assists and minus-1 rating this year and becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 5.
