Where to next? Arcobello poised to test UFA market

Anaheim Ducks v Arizona Coyotes

Anaheim Ducks v Arizona Coyotes

Norm Hall

It looked like Mark Arcobello had finally found a home in Arizona, but now it seems that’s not the case.

The 26-year-old forward tied an NHL record last season by scoring at least a goal with four different teams in a single season. He started the campaign with Edmonton before being moved to Nashville for Derek Roy. The Predators waived him just a couple of weeks later and he only lasted roughly a month in Pittsburgh before he was once again exposed to waivers.

Arizona was his final and most productive destination last season as he scored nine goals and 16 points in 27 contests. That wasn’t enough to convince the Coyotes to give him a qualifying offer though and he is consequently poised to become an unrestricted free agent on Wednesday.

Although he’s been passed around, when a team has him, he is typically inserted into the lineup. He played in 77 contests last season and averaged 14:48 minutes despite all of the movement. He finished with 17 goals and 31 points, so it wouldn’t be shocking to see him find a new home.

And who knows, maybe his next destination will be the one that sticks.

In a related story, the Coyotes also decided against qualifying former first round pick John Moore after he scored two goals and 11 points in 57 contests between the Coyotes and Rangers last season.
