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.
The Philadelphia Flyers need a goalie to tandem with Steve Mason, while the Coyotes get two picks in the 2016 draft.
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.
Arizona Coyotes also trade picks 68, 82 to the Calgary Flames for picks 66, 96.

6-Matthew Tkachuk over Clayton Keller
14-Charlie McAvoy
40-Samuel Girard

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.
The Columbus Blue Jackets need a top pair defenseman because the Coyotes drafted Zach Werenski, while the Coyotes get David Savard a reliable top 4 defenseman,
Oliver Bjorkstrand and Sonny Milano, two very skilled wingers and a 1st round pick.

2018 draft results

18-Liam Foudy
23-Joe Veleno
54-Filip Hallander

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

FANTASY HOCKEY WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

Here are some players you should pickup in Fantasy Hockey, sorted by position. Center Colton Sissons Colton Sissons is one of the best 4th line centers in the league, but in fantasy hockey, he could be even more valuable than he actually is in real life because of what he provides in the peripheral categories. So far this season Sissions has 5 goals, 1 PPP, 1 SHP, 12 PIM, 20 SOG, 89 FW, 15 hits, and 9 blocks. This is a terrific stat line and although you can't count on Sissons scoring a ton, he will fill out the FW, Hits, and blocks usually. Sissons is owned in 6% of fantasy leagues, snag him up while you can. Nick Bjugstad Nick Bjugstad is having an excellent year so far with the Arizona Coyotes, in fact he has played so well that he earned himself a promotion to play on the 2nd line along with Mattias Maccelli and Lawson Crouse. Bjugstad also gets time on Arizona's 2nd PP unit and 2nd PK unit. Bjugstad may not be a name who stands out to casuals, but his fantasy stat line is

Fantasy Hockey Forwards to Trade For

Here is a list of Players who you should consider trading for in Fantasy Hockey. Tage Thompson Tage Thompson had very high expectations of him heading into this season but has been a massive disappointment to this point in the season with only 7 goals, 8 assists, 4 PPP, 60 SOG, and 99 FW. Thompson has been better after coming back from injury and you would think that he is going to eventually start putting points in bunches. Because of how bad Thompson's statline is this season. it would be a good idea to trade for him because you may not have to give up a lot in return.  Elias Lindholm Elias Lindholm is another player who has had a slow start to the season with only 7 goals, 10 assists, 3 PPP, 68 SOG, and 297 FW so far this season. Lindholm is definitely going to want to play better if he wants to increase his value for his next contract and also showcase himself for a trade at the deadline. If Lindholm gets dealt to a contending team, his fantasy value would drastically improve b
