Coyotes considering trading up, down at NHL draft

The Coyotes have begun tweaking their stockpile of picks in the lead-up to this weekend's draft in Buffalo, adding to and subtracting from their collection, and although they’re open-minded to trading more of their selections – particularly their pair of first-rounders – it remains unclear whether the team’s order of selection will undergo further change.

“If we do stay at seven and 20, then we’ll get good players,” General Manager John Chayka said. “If we make a decision to move, then we’ll get good players that way, as well.”

As it stands now, the Coyotes hold eight picks with four of those coming in the top 53.
