The final Coyotes prospect report of the season will be a condensed one. Only four prospects are still active in their respective leagues’ postseasons, we just wrote about one of those guys, and I didn’t want to bug coaches or players during their postseason runs. That approach afforded me the opportunity to talk to a member of the Coyotes development…
When the 2022-23 season began, NHL analysts were not kind to the Coyotes. Most expected them to finish at the bottom of the standings. Some even termed this the worst roster ever assembled in the salary-cap era. It didn’t pan out that way. Until the Coyotes lost 11 of their final 12 games (1-7-4) to close the season, Arizona was…
The postseason is in full flower for college basketball, but for many Coyotes prospects, March Madness is just beginning. At least 17 players in Arizona’s pipeline have just started their postseason, or will in the coming days. This is the time of year that the management, scouting and development staffs love because it allows them to evaluate their prospects when…
The Coyotes informed Dylan Guenther after the NHL All-Star break that he would be heading back to the Western Hockey League to help the Seattle Thunderbirds in their quest for a league title and the organization’s first Memorial Cup championship. The timing of the news was surprising to Guenther’s agent, Kevin Epp, who thought the Coyotes might do it before…
On Jan. 5, the Coyotes were 11 points ahead of the Chicago Blackhawks, seven points ahead of the Columbus Blue Jackets, five points ahead of the Anaheim Ducks, tied with the San José Sharks, and two points behind the Montréal Canadiens in the NHL standings. The odds of landing Connor Bedard — or even Adam Fantilli or Leo Carlsson —…
Jake Guentzel doesn’t need approval from his dad, Mike, who is a pro scout for the Coyotes. Over the past five seasons, only 10 players in the NHL have scored more goals than the Pittsburgh Penguins’ vastly underappreciated wing. With his dad in town for the Coyotes pro scout meetings, and in attendance at Mullett Arena for Sunday’s Coyotes-Penguins game,…
As PHNX Sports speculated would likely happen, the Coyotes have officially loaned forward Dylan Guenther to Hockey Canada for the IIHF World Junior Championship, the team announced on Thursday. Guenther left the team right after playing against the Oilers in his hometown of Edmonton on Wednesday; a game that concluded the Coyotes’ NHL record-tying 14-game road trip. “You like to…
It’s rare to see a Coyotes draft pick play in Arizona in the same season in which he was drafted. Jakob Chychrun made the NHL roster in his draft year of 2016 and Clayton Keller played three games for the Coyotes late that same season; games in which former coach Dave Tippett humorously noted that he looked like a child…
Dylan Guenther isn’t going anywhere, unless you count the Coyotes’ current Eastern road trip. GM Bill Armstrong said that Arizona’s 2021 first-round pick will be staying with the team past his nine-game trial. “He has earned it with his play,” Armstrong said. https://twitter.com/ArizonaCoyotes/status/1588924385280159744 Dylan Guenther’s parents, Russ and Nadine, delivered the news. Guenther played his ninth NHL game on Thursday…
Dylan Guenther will play in his eighth NHL game tonight against the Florida Panthers at Mullett Arena. On Thursday, he will face the Dallas Stars in his ninth game. The timing works out perfectly for the Coyotes, who depart Friday on a five-game Eastern road trip against the Capitals, Sabres, Islanders, Devils and Rangers. If Guenther boards that plane with…...
