Grant, 27, was a fourth round pick in 2007, but has only appeared in seven NHL games since then. Despite no NHL success, Grant has posted strong numbers in the AHL, including 42 points (11G / 31A) in 69 games with the Coyotes AHL affiliate last year. He is a right-handed defenseman with an offensive pedigree, so expect him to get a look in training camp.
