The “Free Agency Interview Period” has begun, and it sounds like Arizona is ready to make a splash in this year’s market.
Joe Pavelski, a pending UFA, has been negotiating a contract extension with the San Jose Sharks for the last few weeks, but reports claim the two parties aren’t close to a deal. It sounds like Pavelski is ready to test the free agency waters this year, prompting a number of teams to pick up the phone: The Arizona Coyotes are one of them.
According to a report by The Athletic’s Craig Morgan, the Coyotes have met with Joe Pavelski’s agent, Dan Plante, this week.
