Coyotes Sign Keith Yandle to Five-Year Contract

The Phoenix Coyotes have locked-up an important part of their future by re-signing defenseman Keith Yandle to a five-year contract worth $26.25 million. The deal will average $5.25 million per season. In all 82 games last season, he had 11 goals and 48 assists for 59 points. This is an excellent signing for the Coyotes, as Yandle has made great strides in his development over the past few seasons. He has excellent offensive skills on the blueline, is a very mobile player on the ice, plays with some grit, and is great on the power play. Look for him to get even better on the Phoenix blueline over the next five seasons.
