The Coyotes re-signed the last of their restricted free agents on Thursday, agreeing on a two-year contract with center Joel Perrault.
Financial terms weren't immediately available, but the second year of the contract is a one-way deal.
Perrault, 25, set career highs in games played (49), goals (seven), assists (10), points (17), power-play goals (3) and game-winning goals (two) last season.
"They gave me a great chance last year," Perrault said. "I really wanted to go back there. I like the group of guys. I think the team is going in the right direction. ... I think we're going to be even better next year."
The 6-foot-1, 197-pound Perrault was selected to play in 2008 AHL All-Star game but didn't participate because he had been recalled by the Coyotes.
In 80 career NHL games with Phoenix and St. Louis, the native of Montreal has nine goals and 22 points.
