Coyotes Sign Ebbett, Climie, Yonkman, Stafford

The Phoenix Coyotes have announced that they have signed center Andrew Ebbett to a one-year contract and also signed goaltender Matt Climie and defensemen Nolan Yonkman and Garrett Stafford to contracts for the 2010-11 season. The financial terms of Ebbett's deal were not disclosed. The exact length and financial terms of the other contracts were not disclosed. Not a bad depth signing in Ebbett, as he has plenty of speed and could become an okay scorer at the NHL level. The Climie, Yonkman, and Stafford signings are nothing more than depth signings, as all three players will likely spend most of next season in the minors.
