| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Derek Stepan  ActiveDerek Stepan is expected to be Arizona's top-line center in 2017-18. "He's just a solid, 200-foot centerman that can make plays, wins faceoffs, can play in all situations (against) top competition," GM John Chayka said. "He just checks all the boxes for a top-line center for us." Stepan has surpassed the 50-point plateau in each of the last four seasons. He is looking forward to serving as a leader on the Coyotes and playing alongside some of the team's young talent. Jun 24 |
| 2 | Christian Dvorak ActiveChristian Dvorak generated 15 goals and 33 points in 78 games during his rookie season. He also recorded the second-most faceoff wins in the league among rookies (471) and finished with a 46.8 winning percentage. Dvorak made great progress over the year and should be a key player on the Coyotes in 2017-18. "As time went on, you saw his confidence increase," said TSN’s Director of Scouting Craig Button. "You saw his production increase. You saw him expand his game and, trust me, that's just a sign of things to come. He is a real, real promising young player." Apr 15 |
| 3 | Dylan Strome ActiveDylan Strome will get "every chance in the world" to solidify a spot on the Coyotes' roster next season, according to assistant GM Steve Sullivan. If Arizona feels that Strome is ready then he will become a full-time NHLer. He played in seven games with the Coyotes last year before he was returned to the OHL. Strome had a great season with the Erie Otters and was named the MVP of the Memorial Cup despite losing in the final. Jun 28 |
| 4 | Nick Cousins ActiveNick Cousins has signed a two-year, $2 million contract with the Arizona Coyotes. The Coyotes acquired Cousins and goalie prospect Merrick Madsen from the Philadelphia Flyers on June 16 in exchange for forward prospect Brendan Warren and a 2018 fifth-round pick. Cousins had six goals and 16 points in 60 games with the Flyers in 2016-17. He was a restricted free agent. Jul 1 |
| 5 | Brad Richardson ActiveThe Coyotes have shut Brad Richardson down for the rest of the season. He underwent a procedure on his leg Friday. He is expected to be ready for training camp. In 16 games he posted five goals and nine points with 15 PIMs and 19 hits. Apr 1 |
| 6 | Dave Bolland  I.L.Dave Bolland (lower body) might not be able to play in the NHL again. Bolland will probably open the season on the long-term injured reserve list after failing his physical. "He’s working towards trying to (play), but again injuries are what they are. He’s been trying to comeback from that injury for the last nine months and he hasn’t gotten to the stage where he can do that to be cleared," said agent Anton Thun. "His goal is to try to continue to play, but at some point in time, it may just be not happening. He may never play again." He's completed two seasons of his five-year, $27.5 million deal. Oct 6 |
| LW | 1 | Max Domi ActiveMax Domi recorded an assist in a 3-2 overtime loss to Dallas. Domi is on a three-game point streak. He has nine goals and 37 points in 57 contests in 2016-17. If he can stay healthy next season, he should be able to breach the 50-point mark like he did as a rookie. Apr 5 |
| 2 | Brendan Perlini ActiveBrendan Perlini scored the Coyotes' lone goal in a 3-1 loss to Minnesota Saturday night. It was Perlini's 14th goal and 21st point in 57 games this season. Shane Doan registered an assist in what could be the last game of his career. If this is the end, Doan is finishing with 972 points in 1,540 contests. Apr 9 |
| 3 | Clayton Keller ActiveClayton Keller is determined to stick with the Coyotes in 2017-18. "It's in my head every day," Keller said. "That's what I'm working toward. I think if I do everything I can this summer, there's no way that I'm not on the roster." He is more confident after getting some NHL experience at the end of last season. Keller also played well at the 2017 World Hockey Championship for Team USA. Jun 28 |
| 4 | Jordan Martinook ActiveJordan Martinook has signed a two-year, $3.6 million contract with the Arizona Coyotes. Martinook's agent said that the two sides were "close" to a contract extension on Friday, so this agreement doesn't come as a surprise. This makes the arbitration hearing scheduled for Wednesday moot. He had 11 goals and 25 points in 77 games last season. Jul 22 |
| RW | 1 | Tobias Rieder ActiveTobias Rieder underwent successful ankle surgery and his recovery period is expected to be 8-12 weeks. Rieder sustained his injury during the World Hockey Championship where he had one goal in three games for Germany. He finished the NHL regular season with 16 goals and 34 points in 80 games. He has the potential to put up a few more points if he is fully recovered from his ankle ailment. May 27 |
| 2 | Anthony Duclair ActiveThe Arizona Coyotes want to sign Anthony Duclair to a short-term deal. Duclair is a restricted free agent after completing his entry-level contract. It makes sense for them to sign him to a one or two-year deal given that he suffered a significant sophomore slump. He went from 20 goals and 44 points in 81 games in 2015-16 to 15 points in 58 contests last season and he even spent some time in the minors. A bridge contract will allow him to prove that he can bounce back before the Coyotes' potentially make a more long-term commitment. Jul 15 |
| 3 | Christian Fischer ActiveThe Arizona Coyotes have sent Christian Fischer to the minors. Fischer was a healthy scratch on Wednesday and he wasn't going to draw back into the lineup with Shane Doan returning from the sidelines. With that in mind, Fischer is better served being in the AHL for now so that he can get some playing time. Mar 31 |
| 4 | Lawson Crouse ActiveLawson Crouse will return to action on Friday against the Stars. This will be the youngster's first game since Feb. 11th due to a lower body injury. He has eight points and 115 hits in 48 games this season. Feb 24 |
| D | 1 | Oliver Ekman-Larsson ActiveOliver Ekman-Larsson will be the Arizona Coyotes' new team captain, according to what Shane Doan was told. As previously reported, former captain Doan will not be offered a new contract by the Arizona Coyotes. The Coyotes reached out to Doan on Saturday to let him know of their intentions and thank him for his long tenure. If Ekman-Larsson is indeed the captain then he'll have big shoes to fill as Doan had held that post since 2003. Ekman-Larsson would be the fourth team captain since the Winnipeg Jets moved to Arizona after Doan, Teppo Numminen, and Keith Tkachuk. Jun 19 |
| 2 | Alex Goligoski ActiveAlex Goligoski scored a late third-period goal in the 3-1 loss to St Louis Wednesday night to keep the Coyotes from being shutout. Goligoski earned his third point in the last five games. This increased his goal total to six and point total to 32. Goligoski’s goal was the only of the night for the Coyotes and was assisted by Christian Dvorak and Clayton Keller. This was Keller’s first NHL point since he started with the team in Monday night’s matchup against St Louis. Mar 30 |
| 3 | Niklas Hjalmarsson ActiveNiklas Hjalmarsson was surprised and elated by his trade from Chicago to the Coyotes. Hjalmarsson had only known the Blackhawks in the NHL as he played on their blueline for all or parts of 10 seasons. But he is looking forward to the new challenge of playing with Arizona and especially on the first pairing with Oliver Ekman-Larsson. "He’s one of the better D-men in the league, so hopefully I can complement him with just playing my style of hockey," said Hjalmarsson, of Ekman-Larsson. "At the same time, maybe try to develop a little bit more of a puck-moving element to my game and be more involved offensively. But at the same time, playing defense first has always been my strength. That’s what I’m expecting of myself." Hjalmarsson had only five goals and 18 points last season but the trade to Arizona should get him closer to 25-30 points. Jun 25 |
| 4 | Jakob Chychrun ActiveYou might accuse certain Arizona Coyotes of phoning it in, but defenseman Jakob Chychrun is probably an exception. At least, his work in a 3-0 loss against the St. Louis Blues from Saturday certainly gives that indication. While he couldn't beat Jake Allen (like the rest of his teammates), Chychrun fired six SOG, delivered three hits and blocked two shots in 21:41 of TOI in this one. Mar 19 |
| 5 | Luke Schenn ActiveMany people were surprised to see the Arizona Coyotes keep Luke Schenn in the expansion draft. But GM John Chayka was obviously not among them. "Luke's a unique player," Chayka said. "He can play up and down your lineup. He brings an element. He brings some things that we don't necessarily have a lot of on our team. At a reasonable cap hit for a right-shot defenseman, which is even rarer in the NHL, that was kind of the decision-making process." Schenn has no fantasy value in traditional pools but is a serviceable NHL defenseman. Jun 19 |
| 6 | Adam Clendening ActiveAdam Clendening has inked a one-year deal with the Arizona Coyotes. It is worth $650,000 on a one-way contract. The defenseman had two goals and 11 points in 31 games last season with the Rangers but he will get to play more with Arizona and could get 25-30 points in a full season. Jul 1 |
| 7 | Kevin Connauton ActiveKevin Connauton is expected to return Sunday night against the Kings after missing the last 15 games due to an upper body injury. Through just 20 games this season he has an assist with eight PIMs, 15 blocks and 40 hits. Apr 2 |
| G | 1 | Antti Raanta ActiveThe Arizona Coyotes have added plenty of experience to their roster following the trades for Antti Raanta, Derek Stepan and Niklas Hjalmarsson. Hjalmarsson has won the Cup three times while Raanta had his name engraved once as a Blackhawk, although he did not see any playoff action. Raanta will give the Coyotes solid goaltending and should see action in 50-60 games barring injuries. "He loves being a part of a team that goes out and wins hockey games," Stepan said. "He loves to be the guy that gets it done. That’s something that he’s going to do in Arizona." Raanta was 16-8-2 with the Rangers last season and chipped in with a 2.26 GAA and a .922 save percentage. Jun 26 |
| 2 | Louis Domingue ActiveLouis Domingue allowed three goals on 29 shots in a 4-3 win over Vancouver. Domingue is finishing the season strong with six straight starts where he has allowed three goals or less. He's 6-1 in his last seven starts. Overall his 2016-17 record is nothing to shake at as you might imagine. Apr 7 |
