Sources tell TSN that the Phoenix Coyotes have agreed to a one-year deal with veteran centre Yanic Perreault worth $700,000.

Perreault, believed to be fully recovered from abdominal surgery, previously turned down contract gestures from both Chicago and the New York Islanders.

The Ottawa Senators, Calgary Flames and Tampa Bay Lightning also showed interest.

Perreault scored 22 goals and dished out 35 assists in 69 games with the Nashville Predators last season.

In 740 career games he has totals of 217 goals and 247 assists.

what I don't get is...why the Coyotes for 700 000 when there was an apparent offer from Ottawa at 600 000?

Ottawa certainly has the better shot at the playoffs...

Ice time. With Ottawa, what kind of role would he be getting?

Then there's also the weather factor. B)

Mind you, I'm sure if Ottawa ends up winning the Cup, he'll be kicking himself...

Good for him. He may be on the downside of his career but, as a role player, he still has stuff to offer (faceoffs, not taking shifts off, etc.)

Go :hlogo: Go!

Exactly, I guess if I had to chose between Morris, Comrie and Reinprecht or Phanuef, Iginla and Tanguay then I'd play in Phoenix every single time.
