There has been much talk over the future of Logan Cooley after he announced his intention to return to college instead of signing an entry-level deal with the Arizona Coyotes.
Cooley is by far the Coyotes’ top prospect and already he has shown that he is ready to take the next step and make the jump up to the NHL after a truly dominant year with the University of Minnesota.
Through 39 games in the NCAA, Cooley scored 22 goals and registered an astonishing 60 points as a freshman.
This was the second-highest points total of any player in the NCAA, sitting behind this year’s third-overall pick Adam Fantilli, who has signed his ELC with the Columbus Blue Jackets and will make his NHL debut this season.
