{coyotes} Josh Doan working to carve his own path with Coyotes

--

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Josh Doan has a name and number that separate him from the Arizona Coyotes' other top prospects, but that's nothing new for him.

No matter where the 20-year-old forward prospect has played hockey growing up in suburban Phoenix, he was accompanied by the anticipation and expectation that came with being the son of Coyotes icon Shane Doan.

For the younger Doan, an NHL future wasn't supposed to be just a dream; it was his destiny.

"My whole life I've been putting the '19' on the back of my jersey for my dad, just cheering him on," Josh Doan said during Coyotes development camp in July. "Now, to finally have my own number and to be part of the organization myself, it's really cool to experience. There is nowhere I'd rather be."

A second-round pick (No. 37) in the 2021 NHL Draft, Josh Doan is trying to make a name, and a number, for himself. Instead of wearing his father's No. 19, which the Coyotes retired on Feb. 24, 2019, he's wearing No. 91.

It's a tribute to his father, the Coyotes' all-time leader in goals (402), assists (570), points (972) and games played (1,540), and its chief hockey development officer since 2021. 

The number also is recognition that Josh Doan is forging his own path to the NHL.

"You get excited about the opportunity to have him chase his dream and kind of do what he wants," Shane Doan said during development camp. "As a dad, yeah, without a doubt [it's exciting] when your son kind of moves on to the next level. There's always an element of excitement, of the unknown."

Josh Doan (6-foot-1, 183 pounds) is expected to attend Coyotes training camp next month, but the plan for this season is for him to return to Arizona State. Last season he set ASU records for most points (37) and assists (25) by a freshman.

It also will be an opportunity for him to play his college home games in the same arena he hopes to begin his NHL career. The Coyotes will play the next three seasons at Mullett Arena, Arizona State's new 5,000-seat on-campus arena in Tempe.

"What ASU is doing right now, it's not the worst option to develop there," Doan said.

That's why Nov. 25 and Nov. 26 already are anticipated dates on Arizona State's schedule this season. That's when Doan and ASU play the University of Minnesota, which will be led by forward Logan Cooley, who was selected by the Coyotes with the No. 3 pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. Doan and Cooley roomed together during development camp.

"I think that's definitely circled on the calendar," Doan said. "We're excited for that game, and I think we're ready to show them that we're a team that can compete with those kind of teams. It should be a fun weekend."

For father and son.

"He's probably surpassed me in a lot of things and can do things that I could never do," Shane Doan said. "He holds on to the puck and protects the puck really well. It's a skill that serves you really well. He's got a great hockey IQ."

Or exactly what Coyotes general manager Bill Armstrong looks for in a prospect, regardless of his last name.

"If you want to win a championship, I've always felt that when the pressure's on, you've got to make the right play in the hockey sense to do that," Armstrong said. "One of the first criteria that has to be met as we pick hockey players is their hockey sense. If you want to win, it's a huge factor."

{coyotes} Kessel signs one-year, $1.5 million contract with Golden Knights

--
Meal Ninja - Rakuten.ca - Amazon.com - Swagbucks - MyPoints - DailyRewards

Phil Kessel signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday.

The 34-year-old forward was an unrestricted free agent. He had 52 points (eight goals, 44 assists) in 82 games for the Arizona Coyotes last season.

 

Selected by the Boston Bruins with the No. 5 pick in the 2006 NHL Draft, Kessel has 956 points (399 goals, 557 assists) in 1,204 regular-season games for the Coyotes, Pittsburgh Penguins, Toronto Maple Leafs and Bruins. He has 81 points (34 goals, 47 assists) in 96 Stanley Cup Playoff games.

"He's going to help some NHL team because he can still add points, he can add to a power play and his experience going into the playoffs and what he can offer," Coyotes general manager Bill Armstrong told Sirius XM NHL Radio on Aug. 6. "He still has value in the NHL and I think at some point in time a team will sign him and get him in uniform because he's got some great experience and he's still got great legs under him. He's going to help somebody."

Kessel won the Stanley Cup with the Penguins in 2016 and 2017. He had 45 points (18 goals, 27 assists) in 49 playoff games during those two seasons.

"I didn't know him before I came to Arizona (on Sept. 17, 2020) but I loved him, I loved his personality," Armstrong said. "The young guys on our team were just absolutely drawn to him. He's somebody who has won a few Cups. He's a funny guy, a unique guy in the way he approaches his life but we loved him.

"He was someone who produced for us too in both the years we had him, he was really, really good. The one thing about Phil is he can skate. Sometimes when you get older, your legs go but he can absolutely still fly and create a ton of speed. He's probably one of the smartest people I've seen around the puck and knowing where the puck is going to go."

Kessel has played 982 consecutive games, the second-longest streak in NHL history behind Keith Yandle (989), whose streak ended last season when he was a healthy scratch by the Philadelphia Flyers. Kessel has not missed a game in the past 12 seasons and left a 9-2 win at the Detroit Red Wings on March 8 after one shift to fly back to Phoenix to be with his wife for the birth of their child. It was his 956th consecutive game played.

"Phil wanted to play the whole game," Armstrong said. "We had talked to the doctors and his wife and got a feel for it. We thought let's keep the streak alive and our owner (Alex Meruelo) said we'll take care of him, get him a private plane and get him back there. It was everybody on the staff, but at the end of the day it's our owner stepping up and making sure he takes care of the players."

{coyotes} Coyotes to play 2022-23 season in newly named 'Mullett Arena'

The multi-purpose arena at Arizona State University, where the Arizona Coyotes are scheduled to play their next three seasons, has been named 'Mullett Arena', according to a press release from the university.

The facility, named in honour of philanthropists and ASU donors Donald "Donze" and Barbara Mullett, holds 5,000 seats and two NHL regulation-size ice sheets.

The Coyotes are set to play their home games at Mullett Arena through the 2024-25 season, with an option to remain in the 2025-26 season.

The Coyotes spent the previous 18 years at Gila River Arena in Glendale before the city cut ties with the franchise following the 2021-22 season. A dispute between the city and the team over tax delinquencies and unpaid rink charges in early December of 2021 set in motion the city's decision not to renew the agreement.

In February, the Coyotes announced they had reached a multi-year agreement with ASU to play at the Sun Devils' new facility, located in Tempe.

After the announcement, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman defended the Coyotes, saying that teams playing in smaller venues was not an unprecedented move in the NHL, citing several current teams that have played in small arenas in the past.

"You do what you have to do when you believe in a market long-term." Bettman said in June.

The Coyotes are hoping to remain in Tempe following the agreement with ASU as negotiations are in preliminary stages amongst the Tempe city council and other stakeholders for a proposed $2 billion multi-entertainment complex and arena that would host the team.

{coyotes} Turris retires after 14 NHL seasons, joins Junior A team

Kyle Turris has retired from the NHL after 14 seasons and was named special adviser to the general manager and player development coach for the Coquitlam Express of the British Columbia Hockey League on Wednesday.

Turris, who turned 33 on Sunday, had four points (one goal, three assists) in 23 games with the Edmonton Oilers last season. He was an unrestricted free agent after completing a two-year, $3.3 million contract ($1.65 million average annual value) he signed with Edmonton on Oct. 9, 2020.

Selected by the Phoenix Coyotes with the No. 3 pick in the 2007 NHL Draft, Turris had 425 points (168 goals, 257 assists) in 776 regular-season games with the Coyotes, Ottawa Senators, Nashville Predators and Oilers. He also had 32 points (14 goals, 18 assists) in 69 Stanley Cup Playoff games.

Turris played two seasons of junior hockey for Coquitlam (2005-07) when the team was located in Burnaby, British Columbia.

"The Express organization played a key role in my personal and professional growth," Turris said. "I am excited about having the opportunity to work with [chief operating officer and general manager] Tali [Campbell] and [coach] Patrick [Sexton] as they help each player develop individually, while pursuing the Fred Page Cup as a team."

When Turris played for Burnaby, he was named BCHL Coastal Conference rookie of the year in 2005-06. That same season, he helped the team win the Fred Page Cup, the BCHL championship, and the Royal Bank Cup, Canada's national Junior A championship.

In 2006-07, he was named BCHL Coastal Conference most valuable player after he had a league-best 66 goals in 53 games and was second with 121 points.

"I am really excited to have Kyle joining the team on the management side of things and with the players," Campbell said. "Anytime you can get your alumni involved at any level is great. But for someone like Kyle to jump on board in this big way is fantastic and will help us to grow our program and bring the Fred Page Cup back to Coquitlam."

{coyotes} UBC study finds pro hockey players reluctant to access mental health support

- Swagbucks is rated #1 Money Making site by MoneySavingExpert

A new study from UBC has found that professional hockey players are often reluctant to seek help for mental health, even when they need it.

In the study published in the journal Journal of Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise and Health, researcher Kaitlin Crawford interviewed 19 current, and recently retired, male hockey players (between ages 24 to 42), 18 of whom played in the NHL.

"One of the major barriers around help-seeking is that people would use the word 'stigma' as a catch-all. The one thing most participants expressed was that there was a lot of talk in the industry but not much changing systemically at the base level," Crawford said.

The study found that players reported minimizing or dismissing personal problems for fear of being labelled selfish and instead seeking help only if it was perceived to benefit for the team. There was also a fear of drawing attention to themselves or asking for too much and "sucking up resources."

If players did access mental health treatment from a professional but had a bad experience, the study found that negative experiences would spread through the team and shut down any future efforts to seek help.

"Despite several extreme and unfortunate cases, and the fact that they've had numerous athletes openly struggle with mental health, the NHL hasn't really taken concrete steps to provide adequate and impactful support," Crawford said.

The culture toward mental health is slowly changing within the NHL. Crawford said that there is a clash of "new school" and "old school" attitudes. She suggests much more needs to be done from the highest levels of NHL leadership.

"Some teams have really good people and staff in place, who are ethical and maintain confidentiality, and those teams see a massive uptake in players using mental health resources."

{coyotes} Wayne Gretzky Sued Over Alleged Weight Loss Gum Lie ... You Cost Me $10 Mil!!!

--
Meal Ninja - Rakuten.ca - Amazon.com - Swagbucks - MyPoints - DailyRewards

Wayne Gretzky allegedly lied about dropping pounds by chewing gum -- and a man is now suing the hockey legend over it ... claiming The Great One's great fib cost him $10 MILLION.

The allegations are all spelled out in a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ Sports, filed in Los Angeles on Monday.

The plaintiff, Steven Sparks, says he created a "natural gum used to manage weight," and called it "OMG gum." He says in the suit he eventually hired on Wayne's wife, Janet Marie Gretzky, to be a spokesperson for the product.

The problem, according to Sparks, is Wayne eventually made up a lie about the gum -- saying after he chewed it for roughly a two-month span ... it helped him lose 35 pounds.

Sparks alleged Wayne used the lie to boost the company's stock -- "which he surreptitiously purchased under his family's name."

Sparks, claiming he had no idea Wayne was lying about the weight loss, says he reinvested both money and services into the company. But, when Wayne eventually admitted he had fabricated the weight loss -- it caused the company to tank, and hit Sparks HARD in his wallet.

Sparks says he's now out $10 MILLION -- and is suing Wayne, asking for it back and more.

{coyotes} Top prospects for Arizona Coyotes

- Over $658,501,950 in rewards have already been paid to Swagbucks members

 

1. Logan Cooley, F

How acquired: Selected with No. 3 pick in 2022 NHL Draft

2021-22 season: USA (NTDP U-18 team): 51 GP, 27-48-75

Cooley (5-foot-10, 174 pounds) will play this season at the University of Minnesota. Beyond that, the Coyotes aren't ready to project where the 18-year-old will go next.

The Coyotes need playmakers and couldn't pass up Cooley's scoring skills, free-flowing skating and strong transition play. He goes full speed on every shift, pushing the pace of games to his liking with his two-way play.

Cooley's introduction to hockey growing up in Pittsburgh was in the Sidney Crosby Learn to Play Hockey program. His favorite player growing up was Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin and he likens his game to Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane.

"He's just what we need; he has a chance to be a No. 1 center in the National Hockey League," Arizona general manager Bill Armstrong said. "And they're hard to find."

Projected arrival: 2023-24 season

 

2. Dylan Guenther, F

How acquired: Selected with No. 9 pick in 2021 NHL Draft

2021-22 season: Edmonton (WHL): 59 GP, 45-46-91

A superb skater, Guenther might be the first of the Coyotes' top forward prospects to reach the NHL. The 19-year-old is excellent in transition, has quick hands and is an exceptional mid-range shooter.

Guenther (6-2, 175) got stronger during his second season in the Western Hockey League. He improved at handling the puck in traffic and increased his scoring range, and the Coyotes view him as an eventual top-6 forward.

Though Guenther sustained a knee injury during the Memorial Cup, it isn't expected to keep him out of training camp.

"What we love about him is his passion to play the game and his talents; he's a well-rounded player," Armstrong said. "The No. 1 thing is he can shoot a puck."

Projected NHL arrival: 2023-24

 

3. Conor Geekie, F

How acquired: Selected with No. 11 pick in 2022 NHL Draft

2021-22 season: Winnipeg (WHL): 63 GP, 24-46-70

Geekie was limited to one practice during development camp because of a lower-body injury, but it's not expected to be long term.

The 18-year-old has the size (6-3, 193) and physicality Armstrong covets, and he's confident and doesn't hesitate to try to make difficult plays. With strong hands, Geekie is excellent along the boards and controls the puck with the fluidity of a smaller forward. 

One challenge is to develop more consistency.

"If you saw him on his good nights, you had him in the top five (among 2022 draft prospects)," Armstrong said. "He had some dominant performances with his size and ability, and just his energy."

Projected NHL arrival: 2024-25

 

4. Jack McBain, F

How acquired: Trade with Minnesota Wild on March 21

2021-22 season: Arizona (NHL): 10 GP, 2-1-3; Boston College (NCAA): 24 GP, 19-14-33

The 22-year-old (6-3, 201) played the final 10 games of last season in the NHL after four seasons at Boston College and signing a two-year, entry level contract March 23. He gives the Coyotes a coveted player with a refined ability to score from the inside.

McBain was scouted by Armstrong since his age 16 season. He once attended a Hockey Canada summer camp run by Coyotes coach Andre Tourigny.

"He'd come out on his first shift and give his team instant confidence," Armstrong said. "He'd set forth to have a good four to five hits on his first shift, [and] let the other team know he's there and it's going to be a long night for them."

Projected NHL arrival: This season

 

5. Victor Soderstrom, D

How acquired: Selected No. 11 in 2019 NHL Draft

2021-22 season: Arizona (NHL): 16 GP, 0-0-0; Tucson (AHL): 32 GP, 3-16-19

The 21-year-old (5-11, 184 pounds) already has played 20 NHL games. He isn't dynamic offensively but he's a strong skater who defends well in transition and makes quick decisions.

Soderstrom will compete to start the season with the Coyotes, although they already have experienced defensemen in Jakob Chychrun, Josh Brown, Dysin Mayo, Shayne Gostisbehere, Patrik Nemeth, Troy Stecher and Conor Timmins.

Projected NHL arrival: This season

The Coyotes will play at least the next three seasons at Arizona State University's new multipurpose arena, where a $20 million annex to house dressing and training rooms, weight rooms and coaches offices is being built. Because it won't be completed until early December, Arizona has a 14-game road trip from Nov. 5-Dec. 7, one longer than when the New York Islanders began last season with 13 away from home while UBS Arena was being completed.

Though the Coyotes will play four home games from Oct. 28-Nov. 3 by creating temporary locker rooms in an auxiliary ASU rink, they have 20 of their first 24 on the road to start the season. Once they settle into the 5,000-seat arena (37 of their final 58 games are at home), they expect nightly sellout crowds to generate a decided home-ice advantage in the most intimate setting in the NHL. Nearly every seat is within 13 rows of the ice.

"We have really great fans, passionate about the team, passionate about hockey," forward Travis Boyd said. "I expect a great atmosphere every single game. I think it will be a hard building to come into and win, and that's certainly going to make it a lot of fun playing every night."

The Coyotes hope to complete negotiations with the City of Tempe later this year for an arena and entertainment complex.

 

2. How far away are the Stanley Cup Playoffs?

Although the Coyotes won their final three games last season and gained five of a possible eight points from the eventual Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche (2-1-1), they're in the early stages of a major rebuild. They lost 14 of their first 15 games (1-13-1), were outscored 54-17 during an 0-8-2 slide from April 4-23 and their 50 regulation losses led the NHL.

Most offseason personnel moves were veteran role players replacing other veteran role players while continuing to build through the draft.

"When you go through a rebuild, it can be ugly," general manager Bill Armstrong said. "The players care, the coaches care and when you go through that, the losing wears on people … so what we've preached around here is the process. How do we make sure we're moving one step every day to becoming a championship organization?"

 

3. Can Jakob Chychrun rebound, and how has Clayton Keller recovered from a major injury?

Chychrun scored seven goals last season after leading NHL defensemen with 18 in 2020-21, and the 24-year-old was the subject of rumors ahead of the 2022 NHL Trade Deadline. He has three seasons remaining on a six-year contract he signed Nov. 13, 2018.

"Jakob is going to come back and play for the Coyotes," Armstrong said. "That's our plan, and we expect him to be a big part of the team."

Keller, a forward, scored an NHL career-high 28 goals in 67 games before breaking his leg when he crashed into the end boards in the third period against the San Jose Sharks on March 30 and was taken from the ice on a stretcher. The Coyotes said he had surgery and was expected to make a full recovery in 4-6 months. They believe he'll be ready near the start of the season at the Pittsburgh Penguins on Oct. 13.

The Arizona Coyotes' future isn't now.

It might not be next season either.

There's no disguising what they're doing as they build from the ground floor. With three picks among the first 29 in the 2022 NHL Draft and 18 in the first three rounds in 2023, 2024 and 2025, this is a total rebuild focused on developing as many elite prospects as possible.

The Coyotes made no major offseason additions despite having plenty of space under the NHL salary cap ($82.5 million). They led the NHL with 50 regulation losses last season and were 31st with 57 points and a .348 points percentage ahead of the Montreal Canadiens (55 points, .335).

"We haven't shied away from telling everybody in the world that we're trying to acquire draft picks," Arizona general manager Bill Armstrong said.

A youth movement takes time, and the Coyotes have a group of age 26-and-under forwards who have proven they can score in the NHL. They also want a tough-to-play against, don't-take-a-shift off attitude they plan to carry over from season to season.

"We want to be a competitive, hard-working team," Armstrong said.

A primary storyline going into this season isn't just the Coyotes' style of play, but where they'll play. They left Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona after 19 seasons and will play at least the next three at Arizona State University's brand-new 5,000-seat multipurpose arena. They're negotiating to build a new arena and entertainment complex in nearby Tempe, which wouldn't open until the 2025-26 season at the earliest.

"I'm going in with an open mind. I'm excited," said forward Lawson Crouse, who signed a five-year contract Monday to avoid an arbitration hearing scheduled for the same day.

Until then, the Coyotes hope the intimacy of the college arena gives them a home-ice advantage unlike any other in the NHL. There will even be a section for ASU students.

"Hopefully, the fans come out and it's sold out every night and they're loud, and it's a good atmosphere for us and for the team," forward Clayton Keller said.

Keller is 24 years old and the centerpiece of the offense after scoring an NHL career-high 28 goals in 67 games last season before breaking his leg against the San Jose Sharks on March 30. He's expected to be ready for the season opener at the Pittsburgh Penguins on Oct. 13.

The Coyotes are looking for more consistency from Keller's linemate, Nick Schmaltz, who last season had 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in a three-game stretch from March 3-8 and finished with 59 (23 goals, 36 assists) in 63 games after scoring two goals in his first 21. Crouse scored 20 goals in 65 games after he had four in 51 games in 2020-21. Nick Ritchie scored 10 goals in 24 games after he was acquired in a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Feb. 19.

Arizona needs a turnaround season from Jakob Chychrun, a 24-year-old who scored seven goals in 47 games after leading NHL defensemen with 18 in 2020-21. It's also a big season for 22-year-old forward Barrett Hayton, the No. 5 pick in the 2018 NHL Draft who'll be asked to play a bigger role in the offense after he had 24 points (10 goals, 14 points) in 60 games last season.

The Coyotes hope forwards Zack Kassian and Nick Bjugstad, and defensemen Josh Brown and Troy Stecher, contribute as much as defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere did in 2021-22 (51 points; 14 goals, 37 assists in 82 games). Forward prospects Jack McBain, Nathan Smith, Matias Maccelli and Jan Jenik, and defenseman prospect Victor Soderstrom, need to evolve after they all played in the NHL last season.

"They have such a bright future with Keller, future draft picks, draft picks they had in the past. They're heading in the right direction," said forward Logan Cooley, the No. 3 pick in the 2022 draft.

The most pressing issue is in goal. Karel Vejmelka (13-32-3, 3.68 goals-against average, .898 save percentage, one shutout) is the clear No. 1 after starting 49 games in his first NHL season, but there is little depth behind him. Until the draft picks develop, and the prospects mature, the Coyotes are preaching patience. 

And more patience.

"When you come watch us in the next few years, you're going to see some talented players and some hope in the organization," Armstrong said. "Then when you kind of get over that hump in the fourth and fifth year, you get a chance to make the playoffs."

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Coyotes have signed restricted free agent forward Lawson Crouse to a five-year contract.

Terms of the deal announced Monday were not released. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound forward signed hours before a scheduled arbitration hearing.

"He is a big, strong, skilled power forward and we look forward to him being a big part of our future," Coyotes general manager Bill Armstrong said.

Crouse had career highs of 20 goals and 14 assists last season, his sixth with the Coyotes. The 24-year-old from Mt. Brydges, Ontario, led Arizona with 181 hits last season and has developed into a respected team leader since being traded from Florida in 2017.

Crouse has 56 goals and 54 assists in 346 career NHL games with the Coyotes. He was taken with the 11th overall pick of the NHL draft by the Panthers in 2015.
