Logan Cooley has impressed during Arizona's preseason games and while the Coyotes fortunes are uncertain, the 19-year-old looks set for a breakout rookie campaign. Cooley was selected third overall in the 2022 NHL Draft.
A new scouting cycle is well underway for the 2024 NHL Draft, and while there is no Connor Bedard among this cohort, there is a lot to be excited about.
Macklin Celebrini and Cole Eiserman seem like a two-horse race for first overall at this point, but Russian Ivan Demidov provides an intriguing third option up front. The top half of the opening round is also heavy with defense prospects, perhaps none more intriguing than 6-foot-7 Anton Silayev.
