Arizona Coyotes Draft Cam Dineen 68th Overall
The Arizona Coyotes continued to bolster their defensive prospect pool by selecting North Bay Battalion defenseman Cam Dineen in the third round.
At the trade deadline of the 2015-16 season, the Arizona Coyotes acquired Alex Tanguay, Conner Bleackley, and Kyle Wood in exchange for Mikkel Boedker.
The main targets of the trade were Wood and the compensatory 2nd round pick the Coyotes would receive by allowing Bleackley to re-enter the 2016 draft.
After trading the compensatory pick for Lightning defenseman Anthony DeAngelo, it may or may not have been a coincidence that General Manager John Chayka used his 68th overall pick on defender Cam Dineen.
