Player Stats & Rankings
Nick Merkley has the odd distinction of being the player whom was selected 30th by the Coyotes in 2015, but no one was able to watch it happen in the US. Why? Because they switched to track and field for the last pick. Merkley had a pretty good season coming off of ACL/MCL surgery last March: he was a point a game player in the regular season and started to light it up more in the playoffs before Kelowna was knocked out in the third round by the Seattle Thunderbirds.
