The Arizona Coyotes' fourth-round pick went to the Minnesota Wild as the result of a trade on February 26, 2017 that sent Grayson Downing, a first-round pick in 2017, a second-round pick in 2018 and a conditional fourth-round pick in 2019 to Arizona in exchange for Martin Hanzal, Ryan White and this pick.
