Ugh. NJ won a top two pick. At commercial now but all teams lower than them didn't move up.

After commercial:

Philly
Sea
AZ
Montreal

NJ has got the lottery jump in 2017 and 2019. Bullcrap that they got another top 2 pick.

*Only 1 Team in the NHL is picking lower than their finished spot and anticipated draft order*

Guess who that is.

COYOTES :bang:

Was there a McDavid or Matthews caliber guy this year?
Shane Wright is the tops but Logan Cooley isn't far behind.



I'm hoping Cooley will fall as NJ needs a winger and I'm thinking they may go for:

I really wanted Wright and was pissed at first, but either Cooley or the Olympic MVP (Slafkovsky) will be a pretty good consolation prize.

Wright will go #1 and Cooley #2. I like Gauthier, Yurov, and Geekie of the remaining prospects. Maybe Armstrong can grab all three with so many picks at his disposal.

There is a chance the Devils trade #2, but if they stay, there is a possibility that Cooley slips to us. They already have a ton of young Centers but have a huge need at Wing.

I'm in the same boat. I'm just glad that 2 teams didn't jump ahead of us in the lottery.

That's what I'm hoping for.

I am having a hard time getting excited because A) we didn't get the top pick or at least number 2, and B) Getting tired of seeing all our picks playing in Tucson for many seasons. Let's see this guy have a great draft.

Lol. Typical. Get #3 in 2 man top prospect draft. Loved the coyotes in early years but this franchise has been hapless and hopeless for decades.
