BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Coyotes continued to add to their pool of prospects Saturday during Rounds 2-7 at the NHL draft in Buffalo, but they also had the opportunity to begin exploring the free-agent market for more immediate roster help.
Teams were allowed to contact impending unrestricted free agents Saturday, giving them a six-day window to sell their situations and gauge interest ahead of the start of the signing period July 1.
During this time, however, players and teams are not allowed to enter into any agreements.
“I plan on using it,” General Manager John Chayka said.
