It has been confirmed. Radim Vrbata is making a return to the desert with the Coyotes.
Vrbata, 35, previously played for the Vancouver Canucks. He played with the Canucks for 2 seasons, scoring a great 63 points in 2015, but had a mediocre campaign in 2016.
With the Canucks, Vrbata had a cap hit of about 10 million dollars in 2 years, according to CapFriendly. His new contract is a simple 1 year contract worth 1 million, with a signing bonus,
This is an interesting but not bad acquirement by the young Arizona manager. Vrbata spent a good deal of time in the desert, and he could mentor younger players, notably Anthony Duclair, Max Domi and the 2016 draft class. However, Vrbata's play is slipping, and he is very well not in his prime.
