GLENDALE --Four days before becoming an unrestricted free agent for the first time, defenseman Kevin Connauton decided he didn't want to leave the Coyotes.
"Getting the two years is nice and I'm excited to come back to a spot that is familiar," Connauton said Wednesday, after signing a two-year contract. "I own a house here in Arizona. I really enjoy my teammates here. It's a really tight-knit group of guys, ones that I get along with really well, and a first-class staff behind it all. So, I'm super fortunate to be coming back and very happy with how it all played out."
