The Arizona Coyotes may have traded two of their second-round picks yesterday, but that doesn't mean they are completely off the board. They still have two early second-round picks, and with their first selection of the day, they chose defenseman Artem Duda.
Duda is a 6'1" 181-pound defenseman from Moskva, Russia. He split last season between Krasnaya Armiya Moskva in the MHL, Zvezda Moskva, and CSKA Moskva U18, with most of his time in the MHL. In 52 games he had 14 goals and 27 in the regular season and exploded in the playoffs with five goals and 12 assists in 18 games.
