In the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, GM John Chayka loaded up on offensive defensemen. But his predecessor, Don Maloney, began the restocking process a year prior by selecting the player at #17 on our list of prospects under 21.
The Arizona Coyotes may have added some big name defensive prospects over the past two years, but don’t sleep on Kyle Capobianco.
#17 - Kyle Capobianco - Left-Handed Defenseman - Sudbury Wolves - 63rd overall pick, 2015 NHL Draft
Highest Rank - 11
Lowest Rank - 19
If losing builds character, Capobianco will be an instant character guy wherever he ends up.
