GM John Chayka on a conference call is clearly projecting future success with Christian Dvorak, "a player we want as a part of our group for the long term... getting better & better." Said Coyotes were willing to assume some early risk rather than wait until he became an RFA.

John Chayka: Everyone appreciates that Dvorak plays a mature game... has played some tough minutes for a young centerman... has shown versatility... there is expectation of higher production based on his body of work.
