DEFESNEMEN

Oliver Ekman-Larsson – Keith Yandle

Zbynek Michalek – Connor Murphy

Brandon Gormley – Michael Stone

EXTRAS – David Schlemko – Chris Summers

The Coyotes have built a solid group, with homegrown talents Ekman-Larsson and Yandle now approaching the elite of NHL blueliners.  They also have 2 up and coming prospects Murphy and Gormley who could soon form a solid second pair, both still in their entry level deals.  The Coyotes have just under $20M committed to the 8 defensemen on the roster.
