Coyotes forward Tobias Rieder does not plan to join the team for training camp as he awaits a new contract, according to his agent, Darren Ferris.
"We've made them a fair offer at two years at $2.5 million a year, and they're unwilling to do it," Ferris said, according to AZCentral. "Tobi brings a lot of intangibles to that team. I know he's a fan favorite. He loves Arizona, but it's disappointing that they're unwilling to compensate this kid fairly."
Ferris said that the sides aren't far apart, but a deal is not considered imminent.

"The bottom line is we leave here with nothing," Tortorella said. "Certainly we can't be happy about that."
