The Arizona Coyotes and General Manager Bill Armstrong have been busy the last few days in the desert. After managing the protected list for the Seattle Kraken expansion draft, the team now shifts its attention to the 2021 NHL Entry Draft.
Unfortunately, the Coyotes’ new faces in management are not likely to be picking in the first round this year.
This is the second year in a row that the Coyotes do not have a first-round pick. Last year, they traded what became the 18th overall pick to the New Jersey Devils in the Taylor Hall deal.
