No idea why the Coyotes signed Ribiero???  He is the laziest Canadian player in the league.

Because despite being lazy he consistently puts up points.

People have hated him ever since that video of him faking an injury a decade ago. I actually like Ribeiro in spite of that... one of the league's top playmakers since the lockout.
 
When you have a team like the Coyotes who are a very hard working skating team Ribiero does more harm than good.  I watch them most nights and this guy does not fit.  He slows the game down to a snails pace while his teammates skate by him.  It isn't working no matter what the stats say.

You may be correct but his point totals for the last several seasons is why he gets signed.

He has scored at a .77 ppg average for his career and scored at over a ppg last season.

I think he's a very talented player with some issues. I actually see a little bit of Ribeiro in Kadri on some nights
 
I can easily see why some team would sign him.  I just don't see how he fits in Phoenix.  He is the only player of his style on the team.  Think of the Leafs when they added Allison years ago.  He was a decent player who got points but just did not fit with the make-up of the roster.  There is no fit there.
