CHANGES

IN – Sam Gagner, Joe Vitale, B.J. Crombeen, Devan Dubnyk

OUT– Mike Ribeiro, Radim Vrbata, Jeff Halpern, Paul Bissonnette, Derek Morris

There wasn’t much turnaround for the Coyotes this off-season.  Gagner was a steal as he came along with Crombeen for a sixth round pick.  Gagner has been in the NHL since he was 18 and will fill the hole left by Ribeiro.  The Coyotes didn’t replace Vrbata’s production on the wing.
