From the editor's desk: No, the world is not ending

The Arizona Coyotes did not land the chance to draft either of Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel. The team is not dead in the water though.

Losing the Draft Lottery sucks.

The Arizona Coyotes will select third in the 2015 NHL Draft, thanks to the Edmonton Oilers' improbable victory. They pushed Arizona out of the 2nd overall spot, and out of the running to draft either Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel.

There's no sugar coating it: it hurts. And the fact that Arizona was pushed out of the top two by a division foe and a team mired in terrible play for years makes it even harder to bear.
