Coyotes Sign Forward Pyatt to Two-Year Extension

The Phoenix Coyotes announced today that they have signed left wing Taylor Pyatt to a two-year contract extension. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He would have been an unrestricted free agent on July 1. In 74 games last season with the Coyotes, Pyatt had 12 goals and 11 assists for 23 points. In 606 career NHL games with the New York Islanders, Buffalo Sabres, Vancouver Canucks, and Phoenix Coyotes, he has 103 goals and 111 assists for 214 points. Not a bad depth signing for the Coyotes, as Pyatt brings plenty of veteran depth to their offense. He also has great size and had some defensive awareness. He will be a good addition to the Coyotes lineup for the next two years.
