MICHAEL GRABNER - Right Winger - 31 - 3.35MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2021-2022
LAST UPDATED 7/24/19
After reviving his career as a New York Ranger, Michael Grabner signed a free agent contract to become an Arizona Coyote. Despite only playing 41 games as he battled injuries, Grabner provided Arizona with just what made him such a valuable piece on Broadway: his speed. Grabner is one of the NHL's fastest players, and he's able to use that speed to create odd man rushes and breakaways for himself. He's not an shutdown, two-way winger, but his ability to flip the rush and create shorthanded chances makes him a huge asset on a penalty kill. He's not an elite 5v5 producer, and should stay off of the power play, but his speed combined with his penalty killing abilities makes him a valuable middle-6 winger. What happens to his career as his speed starts to deteriorate with age scares me, though.
