Report: Coyotes' Boedker files for salary arbitration

Arizona Coyotes forward Mikkel Boedker is the latest player to take his team to arbitration, according to Craig Morgan of FOX Sports Arizona.

The 25-year-old is coming off a two-year, $5.1-million contract and is now a restricted free agent. Last month it was reported that talks between both sides were going slowly, despite some optimism from the Coyotes' management.

Sunday at 5 p.m. ET is the deadline to file for player-elected salary arbitration.

Boedker played just 45 games for the team this season after dealing with injuries, but still managed a respectable 14 goals and 28 points.
