EDGE Analysis

Erat made his NHL debut back in the 2001-02 campaign, and has spent the last two years with the Coyotes. Most recently in 2014-15, the 34-year-old played 79 games with Arizona, accumulating 32 points (nine goals) and 48 penalty minutes. The Czech Republic native will now take his services overseas for the next season, though a return to the NHL down the road may not necessarily be out of the question.
