Coyotes President of Hockey Operations and General Manager John Chayka has been through four drafts with the Coyotes so far, but he said 2019 was by far the most stressful.
“We had a single goal in mind going into it and didn’t want to miss,” Chayka said.
When the Coyotes traded the 14th and 45th overall picks on Friday in order to select 11th overall in the first round, many expected the scoring-starved club — they ranked 29th in the league in goals in 2018-19 — to go after one of the offensive talents in the draft.
