The Arizona Coyotes are in the market for a long-term solution and a top-flight defensman to help fill the holes they have on the blue line.
The Arizona Coyotes are a team who look to be on the rise. With boy wunderkind Max Domi and veterans like Shane Doan or Oliver Ekman-Larson, the Coyotes have a nice mix of youth and veteran leadership. Yet their season sort of fell apart on them when their goalie Mike Smith went down with a core muscle injury which required surgery for the 6'4" netminder.
At the time of Smith's injury, the Coyotes were sitting in 2nd in the Pacific Division and had been making a decent push for a run at the post-season.
