GLENDALE, Ariz. - The Phoenix Coyotes signed defenceman Shaun Heshka to a one-year contract Friday.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
The 24-year-old Heshka was acquired from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for the Coyotes' seventh-round draft choice (187th overall) in last month's NHL draft.
Heshka had three goals and 23 assists in 77 games last season with Manitoba of the American Hockey League.
He originally signed with Vancouver as a free agent in July 2006.

“I was coming in to take the boards away and had some good jump. He bobbled the puck at the last second and I don’t think he saw me coming at all. It was a shoulder right in his chest. He’s eight feet tall, so it’s not like you could hit him in the head.”
- Ottawa's Chris Neil about a hit he threw on Tampa's Victor Hedman Thursday night, causing Hedman to leave the game.
