Michael Stone inks one-year contract with Coyotes
Defenseman Michael Stone has signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Arizona Coyotes.
Stone recorded a career-best 36 points (six goals, 30 assists) in 75 games last season. He also tallied 137 hits and 143 blocks during the 2015-16 campaign. He had surgery in April on his ACL and MCL and is currently rehabbing.
Stone's 30 assists were double his previous career high, which came during the 2014-15 season, despite playing in six fewer games last season. He was poor at driving possession however, as his Corsi For Percentage was just 47.7 and his Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength was 0.5.
