| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Sam Gagner  ActiveSam Gagner is motivated to "prove some people wrong next season" as a member of the Coyotes. He has seven NHL seasons under his belt and he's set to turn just 25 years old next month. Gagner recorded 49 points in his rookie campaign, but he hasn't been able to surpass that mark ever since. He should get plenty of opportunities to succeed in Arizona and the change of scenary could finally translate into a breakout season. Jul 3 |
| 2 | Antoine Vermette ActiveThe Arizona Coyotes would like to ink Antoine Vermette to an extension. The value of top-two centers has gone up though and Vermette would be in for a big payday if he simply becomes an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2015. The Coyotes might still be able to keep him, but he'll probably demand a substantial upgrade over his current five-year, $18.75 million deal. Jul 23 |
| 3 | Martin Hanzal ActiveInjuries have limited Martin Hanzal over the last four campaigns. Hanzal hasn't played in more than 65 games in a single season over that stretch. "He's a good player when he's a hard, heavy player," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "That's who he has to be. If he doesn't play that way, he's not nearly as effective a player. We expect him to play hard, committed all the time. You just hope that the injury factor doesn't come into play." At this point though, you have to assume that injuries will be a factor when evaluating his potential for the 2014-15 campaign. Apr 18 |
| 4 | Joe Vitale ActiveJoe Vitale was pleased to get a three-year contract worth $3.35 million from the Coyotes for some increased stability, but he won't take it for granted. "You can't get away from things," he said. "Things happen quick, and you have to be on your toes. If Pittsburgh taught me anything, it's about show up every day, show up every year with a job to lose. So you just gotta prepare accordingly. So with three years, my approach isn't going to be to sit back and relax. I'll continue to bring that not satisfied mentality throughout the three years." In 53 games with Pittsburgh last season, Vitale scored one goal and had 13 assists. He also added 89 hits and won 62.5 percent of his faceoffs. Jul 5 |
| 5 | Kyle Chipchura ActiveKyle Chipchura was the offensive hero for Phoenix in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over New Jersey. The checking line forward netted a goal and an assist for the Coyotes in the victory to bring his point total to 17 on the campaign. Chris Summers also registered his second goal of the year in the win. Mar 27 |
| LW | 1 | Mikkel Boedker ActiveMikkel Boedker picked up two assists in Denmark's 4-1 World Hockey Championship win over Italy. He went pointless in the team's previous two games. Boedker earned three helpers in seven contests last year at the tournament. May 13 |
| 2 | Lauri Korpikoski ActiveLauri Korpikoski (face) will be back in the lineup Thursday against New Jersey. He has missed the Coyotes' past two games after he took a puck to the face in the morning skate on Monday. Mar 27 |
| 3 | Martin Erat ActiveMartin Erat skated in his 800th career game Thursday night. Interestingly, it was also his first time back in Nashville since he was traded by the Predators at last season's trade deadline. The Preds took Erat in the seventh round of the 1999 draft. He has two goals and one assist in 15 games with Phoenix this season after he had 24 points in 53 matches with Washington. Apr 12 |
| 4 | Rob Klinkhammer ActiveThe Coyotes are still searching for a left winger to play with Martin Hanzal and Radim Vrbata, but coach Dave Tippett was impressed with how Rob Klinkhammer did in that role during Thursday's game. "I thought Klink was really good, really solid, big heavy guy on the forecheck," Tippett said. "He came to play hard (Thursday), and that’s what our group has to do — feed off each line. They go out there and make sure we compete our hardest, make sure they’re on the right side of the puck, little things right and we’ll find a way to get points." The Coyotes lost the Thursday game in a shootout to the Colorado Avalanche. On the season, Klinkhammer has nine goals and nine assists in 56 games. Mar 1 |
| 5 | Brandon McMillan ActiveBrandon McMillan has signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Arizona Coyotes. McMillan had an arbitration hearing set for July 29. He scored two goals and registered four assists in 22 contests with Arizona last season. Jul 16 |
| 6 | Max Domi ActiveMax Domi, taken with the 12th overall pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft by the Arizona Coyotes, looked good at the team's developmental camp in recent days. The Coyotes are counting on big things in the not-too-distant future from the son of former NHLer Tie Domi. Max had 34 goals and 93 points in 61 OHL games for the London Knights in 2013-14. Domi was passed over for last year's squad that Canada took to the World Junior Championship but is back in the mix for a roster spot this year.
"It's exciting," he said. "Anytime you get a chance to represent your country, it's pretty special and something every Canadian kid dreams of is playing in that World Junior tournament." Jul 13 |
| RW | 1 | Shane Doan ActiveShane Doan is continuing to improve in his recovery from Rocky Mountain fever. "That's encouraging for all of us," GM Don Maloney said. The illness kept him out for 12 games this season. Doan generated 23 goals and 47 points in 69 games in 2013-14. Jun 6 |
| 2 | B.J. Crombeen ActiveB.J. Crombeen was with the Dallas Stars from 2007-2009 when current Arizona bench boss Dave Tippett coached there. "Going in knowing what the coach is looking for from you and from the team as a whole is obviously a nice thing to have on your side, and also having the coach know what you can bring to the team and what you can bring on a day-to-day basis is also a nice thing," Crombeen said. "So obviously it's up to me to go out and do my part and play my game and try to help the team. But it's obviously a nice thing to make you a little more comfortable coming into a new situation." He had 10 points and 79 penalty minutes in 55 games with Tampa Bay last season. He can also kill penalties and could serve as a solid energy player for the Coyotes. Jul 4 |
| 3 | David Moss ActiveDavid Moss' recently signed one-year contract with the Arizona Coyotes is worth $800,000. That's a major pay cut from the $2.1 million Moss earned in 2013-14. He came very close to heading to Switzerland on a two-year deal, but he agreed to an 11th hour deal with Arizona. "I'm really excited to be back with the team," Moss said. "I believe the team is headed in the right direction, and I just want to be a part of it. I'm very grateful that they wanted me back, and I'm looking forward to having a great season." Jul 14 |
| 4 | Alexandre Bolduc ActiveThe Arizona Coyotes have inked Alexandre Bolduc to a one-year, two-way deal. Bolduc had 37 points and 82 penalty minutes in 59 AHL games in 2013-14. He's a viable option if the Coyotes need an injury replacement at some point during the 2014-15 campaign. Jul 2 |
| 5 | Jordan Szwarz ActiveJordan Szwarz has signed a two-year, two-way deal with Arizona. Szwarz had three goals and no assists in 26 games with Arizona in 2013-14. He was taken by the Coyotes in the fourth round of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. Jul 16 |
| D | 1 | Oliver Ekman-Larsson ActiveOliver Ekman-Larsson scored a goal in Phoenix's 4-3 overtime loss on Tuesday. Ekman-Larsson has two goals and three points in his last two games. That brings him up to 15 goals and 29 assists in 77 contests in 2013-14. Apr 9 |
| 2 | Keith Yandle ActiveWhile Keith Yandle has been a standout offensively, he really needs to work on the defensive side of his game. Yandle led the Coyotes in points this season with 53 and was tied for the NHL lead amongst blueliners with 31 power play points as the Coyotes had the fourth most goals (tied) and the fourth best efficiency rating in the NHL on the pp. But defensively it was a different story as Yandle was a minus-23 this season. here's always that risk-reward factor in it," coach Dave Tippett said. "With Yands, his power-play play this year went to another level, went to a level we hadn't seen before. He took a responsibility for improving our power play and a leadership role and did a very good job. That being said, his defensive play is still — it's inconsistent." Apr 21 |
| 3 | Zbynek Michalek ActiveZbynek Michalek scored a goal in Phoenix's 2-1 shootout loss to Winnipeg Tuesday evening. It was Michalek's second goal of the season and his ninth point. Antoine Vermette and Mikkel Boedker assisted the goal. Apr 2 |
| 4 | Michael Stone ActiveMichael Stone picked up his first assist of the season on Saturday. The defenseman has seven goals already this season so it was a huge anomaly that he had yet to pick up an assist. He has been an offensive surprise this season and is worth keeping in the lineup if he continues to score. Dec 1 |
| 5 | David Schlemko ActiveDavid Schlemko is not close to returning to action. He is nursing a left foot injury sustained while blocking a shot over two weeks ago and has not recovered sufficiently to suit up. Of Schlemko, Coyote coach Dave Tippet said: "He may travel, but I don't foresee him being a player any time soon". Keep Schlemko on reserve until further notice. Mar 23 |
| 6 | Brandon Gormley ActiveThe Phoenix Coyotes have sent Brandon Gormley to the minors. Gormley played in five games with Phoenix and didn't record a point. He's worth keeping an eye on though because he does have some offensive upside. Apr 15 |
| 7 | Chris Summers ActiveChris Summers has inked a two-year extension with Phoenix. Summers had two goals and an assist in 18 games with the Coyotes in 2013-14. He also had nine points and 47 penalty minutes in 48 AHL contests. May 12 |
| 8 | Andrew Campbell ActiveAndrew Campbell has agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Arizona Coyotes. Campbell had 16 points and 58 penalty minutes in 69 AHL games in 2013-14. He also got his taste of NHL action last season, playing in three games with the Los Angeles Kings. Jul 2 |
| G | 1 | Mike Smith ActiveMike Smith is confident that he can rebound after an up-and-down season. Smith ended up with a 2.64 GAA and .915 save percentage in 62 games this season. "I think I learned a lot about myself this year going through that again," Smith said. "To have success and then to be able to keep that was a challenge, and I think I found a way out of it this year and obviously I'll learn from that and be a better goalie because of it." He comes with an average annual cap hit of $5,666,667 through 2018-19. Apr 22 |
| 2 | Devan Dubnyk ActiveCoyotes first-string goalie Mike Smith is confident new Arizona backup Devan Dubnyk will rebound next season after struggling last season with three different NHL teams. Smith and Dubnyk were teammates with Canada's World Championship team last summer "It happened to me so why not other people?" Smith said. "He's a big guy. He moves fairly well and I think under the right guidance, I think he can definitely be a really good goaltender in this league for a long time still. . .I've been there. I know what that feels like, and I'm sure he just wants to come in and get his feet back under him and I think there's no better place to do that than Arizona." Jul 5 |
