Analysis:

Rieder posted 13 goals and 21 points in 72 games this year, and he tied for second on the team in shots with 189, which suggests there could actually be some upside to his offensive game. He should compete for a spot among the Coyotes' top nine forwards next year even with new blood coming in as the team rebuilds.
