The new look front office of the Arizona Coyotes isn’t above taking a few risks for greater rewards.
That’s precisely the thought behind drafting 17-year-old offensive dynamo Clayton Keller 7th overall instead of aiming for one of the defensemen that analysts had pegged to be desert bound.
Chayka’s sleight of hand secured both Keller and his defender of choice, Jakob Chychrun, and now the talk shifts to the development of the two touted prospects.
Keller was in the enviable position of having multiple options to further his pro career.
He could choose to play for the Windsor Spitfires of the OHL, or he could continue on his chosen path of attending Boston University.
