Michalek signed a two-year, $6.4 million contract with the Coyotes on Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Analysis:

Just months after dealing Michalek away to the Blues prior to the trade deadline, the Coyotes will bring the defenseman back in what marks his third stint with the organization. Michalek isn't a big name in fantasy circles after totaling four goals and eight assists across 68 games in 2014-15, but his abilities as a shot blocker won't be overlooked by the Coyotes. He'll likely settle back into a top-four role on a suddenly improving blue line.
