The journey will begin in about 11 days when the Arizona Coyotes draft third overall, followed by 29th pick (since the Blackhawks won the Cup tonight) in the late first round. They may try to draft Jake Debrusk, to follow their pattern of the draft last year by taking the son of former Coyote players, or the son of other former NHL players. He fits ideally into to Tippett’s system of a two-way player.
Then, they have two second round picks to add to their shopping list. Numbers 32 and 59 will hopefully be lucky numbers for the Arizona Coyotes.
