by from on (#1KWEM)
The Arizona Coyotes and Tobias Rieder have yet to find common ground in contract negotiations.
Rieder's agent, Darren Ferris, said contract negotiations are ongoing, but the two sides aren't close to reaching an agreement, according to Sarah McLellan of azcentral.
The 23-year-old restricted free agent appeared in all 82 games for the Coyotes in 2015-16, recording 14 goals and 23 assists with even possession numbers in five-on-five play.
Rieder carried a cap hit of $925,000 last season, while the Coyotes have almost $18 million in available space heading into next season.
