Coyotes expected to be sellers at deadline
Dave Tippett - C - Phoenix Coyotes

Do not expect the Phoenix Coyotes to be buyers at the trade deadline Wednesday.
The Coyotes are 13th in the West but are only three points out of a playoff spot heading into action this week. They have been buyers over the last three seasons and that has depleted some of their depth so if anything, they will be selling come Wednesday as they have nine UFA's at this time including Matthew Lombardi, Steve Sullivan, Boyd Gordon, Raffi Torres and goaltender Mike Smith. It should be an interesting next two-plus days until the 3 pm ET trade deadline.
