Coyotes' Radim Vrbata: Will debut for new team

Vrbata (knee) will be in action against the Kings in Monday's preseason matchup.

Analysis:

Vrbata joined the Yotes from Vancouver during the offseason. Last season there, the winger notched 13 goals and 14 helpers but was a horrific minus-30. His plus/minus rating, along with concerns about his knee injury, likely convinced the Canucks to let the 35-year-old walk, but Arizona was willing to take the risk and had the cap space to sign him to a one-year deal worth $1 million. Vrbata is just two seasons removed from a 63-point campaign and had some success in Arizona earlier in his career, so he could make for an interesting fantasy commodity this year.
