Yandle, 28, carries a $5.3 million salary-cap charge through the 2015-16 season. A two-time 50-point scorer, Yandle has 41 points in 63 games this season. He will help bolster the Rangers' depth on the blue line. He is also expected to contribute on the power play.
Duclair, 19, had a goal and six assists in 18 games with the Rangers. He was loaned to Canada to compete in the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championship, and he had eight points (four goals) in seven games to help lead Canada to the gold medal. After World Juniors, Duclair was sent to the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
At World Juniors, Duclair played on the same line as Max Domi, considered to be one of the top prospects in the Arizona system.
The Rangers receive the Coyotes' fourth-round pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, and the Coyotes get a conditional first-round pick in 2016 and a second-round pick in 2015 from the Rangers.
Moore, 24, played in 38 games for the Rangers this season, scoring six points.
