Coyotes Re-sign Tellqvist
TSN.ca reports that the Phoenix Coyotes have resigned Goaltender Mikeal Tellqvist to a two year deal.
As per club policy, the Coyotes have not disclosed the terms of the deal, however sources report that the deal will pay Tellqvist $800,000 per season. I think this is a great deal for Phoenix, paying under $1 million per season for a + .500 goaltender (9-7-2, 3.29 GGA) is a deal, especially considering CuJo’s age and tendancy to get injured. Tellqvist’s signing comes among a flurry of action in the desert, including the trade of Ladislav Nagy and the re-signing of forwards Shane Doan and Mike Zigomanis. Phoenix will most likely not be done before the deadline as veterans Owen Nolan, Nick Boynton and Derrik Morris are rumored to be on the way out.
