The main targets of recent left-wing speculations for the Vancouver Canucks are free agent Jiri Hudler as well as Winnipeg Jets forward Evander Kane and the Columbus Blue Jackets’ Scott Hartnell. But what about Tobias Rieder?
Rieder, a 23-year-old winger from Germany, was acquired by the Arizona Coyotes from the Edmonton Oilers in 2013. The Yotes didn’t waste any time before they signed him to an entry-level contract and after a year in the AHL, Rieder was ready for the big club. He now has 154 NHL games under his belt and set career highs in goals (14) and assists (23) last season.
