REBUILDING 2014-15 ARIZONA COYOTES



The 2014-15 Arizona Coyotes were the second worst team in the NHL but they got shafted in the draft lottery and ended up with the 3rd pick in the draft.
The team lacked offense and their leading scorer was Oliver Ekman Larsson, a defenseman, who had 43 points that year.
It would have been a perfect time to tear everything down and rebuild the team entirely, in hopes of building a playoff contender.


Instead of trading Keith Yandle to the New York Rangers, the Arizona Coyotes trade Keith Yandle to the Carolina Hurricanes for 1st round pick 2015, 2nd round pick 2016.
This is a better trade for the Coyotes because the Coyotes weren't going anywhere anyways so they might as well get a 1st and 2nd round pick for him.

The Rebuild starts in the 2015 draft, were a few changes take place.

Arizona Coyotes trade Martin Hanzal is traded to the Minnesota Wild for 1st round pick 2015.
The Minnesota Wild need to add more depth at center and the Coyotes get a 1st round pick, a win-win trade for both teams.

Antoine Vermette, Sam Gagner are traded to the Colorado Avalanche for 2nd round pick 2015, 2nd round pick 2016.
The Arizona Coyotes don't need Vermette and Gagner, so they should get picks for them.

2015 draft results

3-Mitch Marner over Dylan Strome
5-Zach Werenski over Noah Hanifin
20-Travis Konecny over Joel Eriksson Ek
32-Sebastian Aho over Christian Fisher
40-Mackenzie Blackwood over Nicolas Meloche

The Arizona Coyotes finish 2015-16 season with the 6th worst record in the league.

Before the 2016 draft, a few trades are made.

Arizona Coyotes trade Mike Smith to the Philadelphia Flyers for 2nd round pick 2016, 3rd round pick 2016.

Joonas Korpisalo is acquired from the Columbus Blue Jackets for 3rd round pick 2017, 4th round pick 2017.

Arizona Coyotes also trade Jordan Martinook, Connor Murphy, 3rd round pick 2016 to the Chicago Blackhawks for Teuvo Teravainen, Bryan Bickell
The Chicago Blackhawks get rid of Bryan Bickell's contract and also at the the same time add some solid players in Martinook and Murphy.
The Coyotes walk away with Teuvo Teravainen a potential star player fo taking on Bryan Bickell's contract.

At the 2016 draft, the Arizona Coyotes trade picks 20, 43 to the Boston Bruins for pick 14.

The Arizona Coyotes make it further in the playoffs during the 2017-18 season but lose in the Semi-finals to the Winnipeg Jets; they have 23th pick in the draft.

Before the 2018 draft, Oliver Ekman Larsson, Conor Garland get traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets for David Savard, Oliver Bjorkstrand, Boone Jenner, 1st round pick 2018.

Fantasy Hockey Keeper League Advice

Keeper leagues add a layer of strategy and long-term planning to fantasy hockey. Every keeper league has its own unique rules and scoring settings, so adjust your strategy accordingly. By following these tips and adapting to your league's specific dynamics, you can increase your chances of long-term success. Here are some tips to help you dominate your Fantasy Hockey Keeper Leagues. Number of Keepers and League Settings When deciding on keepers, it is very important to know how many keepers the league allows you to keep and the league scoring system, because there are players that work better in H2H CAT leagues as opposed to H2H leagues with standard scoring categories.  If you can only keep a few players, focus on those who provide the most value in your specific scoring format. Keep players who excel in categories that are heavily weighted in your league (e.g., power-play points, hits, blocks, faceoffs).

Fantasy Hockey All Star Edition Defenseman

 These are the best defenseman so far this season in Fantasy Hockey: Rasmus Dahlin Rasmus Dahlin has been by far the best defenseman in Fantasy this season, and it isn't close; he has 13 goals, 35 assists, 23 PPP, 119 SOG and a +16 rating on a bad Buffalo team. If Dahlin can sustain this type of production for the rest of the season, he will be a favorite to win the Norris trophy. Cale Makar Cale Makar has been a tad bit disappointing considering he was a top 5 pick in most fantasy drafts, but he is still having a fantastic season; he has tallied 13 goals, 30 assists, 21 PPP, 136 SOG, along with 3 GWG and a +7 rating. His dip in production may be due in large part to the injuries on Colorado, but as the team gets healthy, look for a strong second half from Cale Makar and Colorado. Roman Josi Roman Josi has once again been the best player for the Nashville Predators, putting up 12 goals, 23 assists, 17 PPP, 187 SOG, 4 GWG and a surprising 100 blocks, which is only 33 shy of last yea...

FANTASY HOCKEY WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

C Sean Couturier -After missing 2+ years, Sean Couturier is back and it seems like he hasn't missed a beat. Believe it or not, Couturier has been one of the top centers in the league so far with his all-around play, putting up 2 goals, 3 assists, 2 PPP, 63 FW, 24 SOG, and 1 SHP. Despite showing that he is still an elite center, Couturier is only owned in 20% of fantasy leagues. Pick him up now, while you still can. Ryan Johansen - Serves as the Avalanche's 2nd line center and plays on their all-world 1st pp unit. Despite not being the player he used to be, Johansen is still a valuable fantasy asset because of the players he plays with. Johansen has 4 goals and 4 PPPs along with 63 FW so far this season. He is owned in 29% of fantasy leagues. Sean Monahan - Someone must have gotten a time machine and put Sean Monahan in it because he is playing like he was back when he was in his prime. Monahan has been arguably the best player on Montreal this year, with 3 goals, 6 points, 2 PP...
