Auld on the Move

Phoenix - The Coyotes are certainly changing the face of their goaltending; Curtis Joseph is out and David Aebischer and Alex Auld are in. That said, the 'Yotes goaltending consists of a bunch of tier II calibre goalies: Aebischer, Auld, David LeNeveu and Mikael Tellqvist. This should prove an interesting battle for the #1 and assuredly #1A spots between the pipes in the desert. With this list, we think it's pretty obvious that the organization wants to ensure that Tellqvist can be a #1. For the Coyotes, this deal is a low risk high reward. None of these guys is paid much by NHL standards, but they all have the ability to carry a team for a stretch of 20 some games. That said, some time, you get what you pay for. Here's how this signing impacts the fantasy picture in Phoenix:
  • Auld - Positively.
  • Aebischer - Negatively.
  • Tellqvist - Negatively
  • LeNeveu - Negatively.
