After a surprising move yesterday, with the Arizona Coyotes moving up to draft defenseman Victor Soderstrom, they were a bit quieter today. That’s not to say they did nothing, with the team trading the 74th pick to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for the 98th, 151st, and 207th picks.
On the second day the Coyotes did flip the script a bit. After selecting a defenseman the Coyotes went all in on forwards. They drafted only forwards for the first six rounds.
