According to Capgeek he's set to become a UFA. Is this correct? How did that happen?

Group 6 UFA. Not enough NHL games played. Confirmed by CapGeek.
Chances he re-signs with us?
I think he will become a serviceable #4 dman in the NHL. Has had mixed success with the Coyotes but pretty limited playing time. He has long been one of my favourite prospects.
He is just a victim of the incredible D depth on the Coyotes.
If the Yotes were buyers he would be good trade bait for a veteran forward. Alas, looks like we are sellers. Summers is not the player contenders will be wanting.
Another non-playoff team may want to aquire him for the rest of the year and give him playing time. Maybe he pans out maybe he doesn't.
A trade with Edmonton maybe could work?
I still really like this prospect. He's undeniable lost in the shuffle, though. He's not worth trading Schelmko, Stone, or Rundblad for, at this point, and that's a fact. So, we might as well trade him. Sad, but true. I wonder if Detroit would have any interest in the hometown kid? Maybe package him with Klesla? Gustav Nyquist would look great in our line-up, IMO. Tomas Tatar(who might make a great Whitney proxy on the Czech line), too. Detroit actually has a ton of very good, but not great (not overly hyped) forward prospects. Some combo of Klesla, Moss(another Michigan guy), Summers, Tikhonov, and maybe even Connor Murphy to Detroit for a forward or two could work out for both teams, I'd think.
When do we find out if he clears?
Nyquist was waived at the end of the preseason. We could've had him for free.
I'll be pretty upset if the he gets claimed. Management knew fully well our D situation and if we end up losing this guy for nothing that's just terrible asset management. Not saying he's worth the moon or anything, I just wish they had addressed this problem before it became a problem.
On the other hand, the guy deserves his shot and getting claimed would probably be best for him to get some real NHL time. Gotta root for the guy
