Desert Dogs Sign Young Keeper

The Coyotes added some competition to the crease for training camp on Monday, signing Joel Gistedt, the team's second-round pick in 2007, to an entry-level deal. Gistedt was one of the higher-touted goaltenders in last summer's draft, but couldn't honestly be asked to save the club right away. He will likely be more of a factor for the club in a few years from now, as it usually takes a goaltender a lot longer than a forward to be an impact player. The signing does prove that the club has the right idea when you think about the youth movement.
