The Arizona Coyotes may not have won the 2022 Stanley Cup, in fact, they were nowhere near it after their first year in full rebuild mode. However, that does not mean the team was willfully ignoring the games between the Colorado Avalanche and the Tampa Bay Lightning. The team will have been watching very closely as a valuable reward for the Coyotes was at stake depending on which team lifted Lord Stanley’s cup.
The Arizona Coyotes’ first pick at the 2022 NHL Entry Draft was always going to depend on what the New Jersey Devils did. There are a few top-tier players in this year’s draft, Montréal got theirs, the Devils got theirs, and the Coyotes got theirs with Slovakian forward Juraj Slafkovský. The Kosice, SVK native, is a highly ranked player.
The Winnipeg Jets have the No. pick, which they acquired from the New York Rangers in a trade for forward Andrew Copp on March 21. The Tampa Bay Lightning, which lost in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final on Sunday, will pick No.
