Mike Ribeiro to the Arizona (Phoenix) Coyotes

 

 

Fantasy Impact: The Arizona Arizona Coyotes have signed veteran center Mike Ribeiro to a contract. The term: four years and a cap hit of $5.5 million per (with a partial NMC/NTC). Fair dollar  figure and term for one of the better free agents.

The Coyotes get:

A sublimely talented center that immediately becomes their best offensive forward. Ribeiro and Arizona coach Dave Tippett have a very good relationship, and that was likely a huge factor in this move. Ribeiro previously played for Tippett with the Dallas Stars.
