Ed Jovanovski - D - Phoenix Coyotes

Ed Jovanovski and his agent have yet to have any talks with the Phoenix Coyotes and it appears that he will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
The defenseman's five-year/$32.5 million deal expires in less than three weeks, and he will not get anywhere close to that this time around as the 34-year-old's skills have eroded. "I get a sense he's going to get into the marketplace and ascertain his value, and looking at our needs we have to see what we end up spending on a goaltender and how we can solve our center (issue)," Coyotes GM Don Maloney said. Stay tuned.
