When the Arizona Coyotes (then Phoenix Coyotes) reached the Western Conference Finals in 2012, fans likely thought it was the start of many deep playoff runs.
Unfortunately, it was not.
Four seasons have passed without a playoff berth, and core players like Keith Yandle, Mikkel Boedker, Antoine Vermette, and Ray Whitney have all moved on.
In fact, only six players remain from the 2012 team, and there’s a good reason why each of them is still a Coyote.
