Coyotes sign Vrbata to 1-year deal

The Arizona Coyotes officially signed forward Radim Vrbata to a one-year contract Tuesday, the team announced.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but ESPN's Craig Custance reported Monday that both parties agreed on a contract worth $1 million in base salary, along with bonuses.

"We are very pleased to sign Radim to a one-year contract," general manager John Chayka said in a statement. "He's a proven goal-scorer who will add skill and smarts to our lineup. We look forward to having him back in a Coyotes uniform this season."

Now 35, Vrbata played 428 games over six years with the organization from 2007-14. During that tenure, he amassed 137 goals and 288 points.

"I'm very excited to rejoin the Coyotes," said Vrbata. "My family and I love living in Arizona and I'm really looking forward to helping this team win."

After posting career highs in both goals and points - 31 and 63, respectively - as a Vancouver Canuck during the 2014-15 season, Vrbata's production tapered off. He only managed 13 goals and 27 points in 63 contests last season.
