The Arizona Coyotes have traded for the rights to Boston College forward Jack McBain from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for Vancouver's 2022 second-round pick.

The Wild selected McBain 63rd overall in 2018.

The Coyotes will attempt to sign McBain, who just wrapped up his collegiate career. McBain put up 33 points in 24 games in his senior year at Boston College.

“We are very pleased to acquire Jack McBain,” said Coyotes General Bill Armstrong in a press release. “He is a big, strong, highly-skilled center who had a tremendous season with Boston College. We are thrilled to have him join our organization.”

In the middle of his season, McBain also played for Team Canada at the Beijing Olympics where had a goal and an assist in five games.
