Earlier this week when researching the Arizona Coyotes players set to make the leap to professional leagues I discovered something rather notable. To put it mildly the Coyotes did not do great in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. The Coyotes got better because of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, but they got better mostly through trades.
Draft Picks:
23rd - P.O. Joseph - 0 NHL games. Traded with Alex Galchenyuk for Phil Kessel.
44th - Filip Westerlund - Unsigned. Played 23 games last season in the SHL with Frolunda HC and Timra IK.
