The Arizona Coyotes have signed center Frédérik Gauthier to a one-year contract, but have already placed him on waivers.
Gauthier, who was a first-round selection of the Toronto Maple Leafs back in 2013, was on a professional try-out with the Coyotes and appears to have signed a deal with the team.
The ever-reliable Craig Morgan was the first to report Gauthier’s signing with the team, with the former Leaf appearing on a list of nine players placed on waivers by the team earlier in the day.
