Craig Morgan of The Athletic: Again, Arizona faces uncertainty from a multitude of fronts. One of them will be what they do with John MacLean. Will they keep him or let him go? From a free agent standpoint, Richard Panik and Darcy Kuemper expect to test the market.
One of the keys to next season will be how Nick Schmaltz returns and plays. However, the Arizona Coyotes need help now. Salary shed from the Mike Smith deal and the Dave Bolland buyout come off the books.
