Saturday: The Coyotes have officially announced the deal.
Friday: The Coyotes inked forward Tyler Gaudet to a one-year, $650K deal on a two-way contract. TVA Sports’ Renaud Lavoie reported the deal via Twitter.
Gaudet has played in a handful of games with Arizona, appearing with the club in the past three seasons and seeing the most time during the 2015-16 campaign. He played in 14 games, potting a goal and three points. Last season, he played in just four games with the Coyotes, notching an assist. With AHL affiliate Tuscon, Gaudet played in 62 games, scoring six goals and adding 16 assists.
Competing with a crowded roster, this certainly a depth move for the Coyotes, who have added some critical pieces this offseason, acquiring Derek Stepan and Antti Raanta from the New York Rangers and Niklas Hjalmarsson from Chicago.
