As new player after new player signed or was acquired by the Arizona Coyotes during the offseason, it became clear that many were brought in for their winning pedigrees.
Defenseman Anton Stralman played in the Stanley Cup Final with the New York Rangers in 2014 and Tampa Bay in 2015. Forward Andrew Ladd won the Cup in 2010 with the Chicago Blackhawks. And three Coyotes — Jay Beagle, Travis Boyd and Liam O'Brien, all of whom played a part in the Washington Capitals' Stanley Cup-winning campaign of 2017-18 — also bring a culture of winning to a team looking to get to that point.
