{coyotes} Utah season preview: Talented, young roster eyes playoffs in 1st NHL season

--
Puppybear.tv - Rakuten.ca - Amazon.com - Swagbucks - MyPoints - DailyRewards

Coach: Andre Tourigny (fourth season)

Last season: 36-41-5; seventh place in Central Division, did not qualify for Stanley Cup Playoffs

3 KEYS

1. Make the transition

No team has had a more tumultuous last six months than the Arizona Coyotes/Utah Hockey Club, who found out that they would have to relocate to Salt Lake City at the end of last season. There were new houses to be bought, new school districts to research and new routines to learn. The good news for Utah is that on the ice, the transition shouldn't be that difficult -- it is, after all, largely the same team as last season. But the way the players handle moving from Arizona to Utah could set the up-and-coming team up for success or failure. So, how Utah fares in October could be crucial for its fortunes in 2024-25.

2. Prospect growth

Through its rebuild, Utah has amassed quite a collection of draft picks by taking on undesirable contracts and then, because of it, quite a collection of young talent. That's paying dividends as those young players come of age. And, in this season, Utah will likely go as far as its young talent takes it, especially if players like Logan Cooley, Dylan Guenther, Matias Maccelli and Josh Doan keep building on the seasons they had in 2023-24. Cooley had 44 points (20 goals, 24 assists) in 82 games last season; Guenther had 35 points (18 goals, 17 assists) in 45 games. Additional production from its youngest members could accelerate the timeline for Utah.

3. Be in the hunt

While many teams are laser-focused on the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Utah isn't quite there, according to general manager Bill Armstrong. But Utah needs to be in the mix to make the playoffs to take the next step in its development and its rebuild. As Armstrong said earlier this summer, "If we can be playing meaningful games down the stretch, it's going to be a hell of a season." Armstrong wants to make sure that his team gets the experience of playing under pressure, of being in the race for the playoffs to know what that's like, and to see how they perform in that situation. And that would mean that in 2025-26, Utah might be ready for a playoff run of its own. But if that playoff run comes early, Utah will be OK with that too.

ROSTER RUNDOWN

Making the cut

With the word that forward Nick Bjugstad and defenseman John Marino are week to week with upper-body injuries, the door could be open for a couple of players on the roster. Cole Beaudoin, in particular, has made an impression on seemingly everyone who has seen him, including at the 2024 Rookie Faceoff. The 6-foot-2, 209-pound forward taken with the No. 24 pick in the 2024 NHL Draft had 62 points (28 goals, 34 assists) in 67 games with Barrie of the Ontario Hockey League last season and has been praised by Armstrong for his work ethic and the culture the 18-year-old brings. Maveric Lamoureux, 20, is another option to make the team either out of camp or at some point this season. The 6-foot-6 defenseman was the No. 29 pick in 2022 and is coming off a 33-point (nine goals, 24 assists) in 39-game season with Drummondville of the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League.

Most intriguing addition

On June 29, Utah traded for Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Mikhail Sergachev, adding a major piece to a defense that it would revamp by also adding Marino from the New Jersey Devils. But Sergachev has the bigger upside, a Cup-winning, 26-year-old who is signed for seven more years and can be a No. 1 defenseman for a team on the rise. Sergachev is coming off a season in which he played 34 games with 19 points (two goals, 17 assists) because of a knee injury, but returned for two games in the playoffs and had an assist.

Biggest potential surprise

Barrett Hayton is just one of the impressive crop of young, talented players that Utah boasts, but he has a chance to be a big contributor after a disappointing season that was cut short by injury. Coming off a promising 2022-23, in which the center had a career-high 43 points (19 goals, 24 assists) in 82 games, Hayton was limited to 33 games last season, scoring 10 points (three goals, seven assists). The 24-year-old is primed for a breakout, especially if he enters the season as the No. 1 center between Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz.

Ready to contribute

Josh Doan got an 11-game cameo at the end of the 2023-24 season, making his debut March 26 with two goals for the team for which his father was synonymous for 20 seasons. Doan, who was taken No. 37 in the 2021 NHL Draft, made the most of his short stint with five goals and four assists and looks poised to make the jump stick after he had 46 points (26 goals, 20 assists) in 62 games for Tucson of the American Hockey League last season.

Fantasy sleeper

Guenther, F (average draft position: 177.0) – Per NHL EDGE stats, Guenther was among the NHL leaders in average skating distance per 60 minutes at even strength (10.16 miles; 88th percentile) last season. His breakout stretch late in the season (23 points, 73 shots on goal in final 23 games since March 1) on the second line with mostly Logan Cooley (ADP: 166.0) could help Utah take the next step toward the playoffs and help each young forward far exceed his fantasy draft position. -- Pete Jensen

{coyotes} Report: Utah's Nick Bjugstad expected to miss start of season

--
Puppybear.tv - Rakuten.ca - Amazon.com - Swagbucks - MyPoints - DailyRewards

Utah Hockey Club centre Nick Bjugstad is not expected to start the regular season, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reported Wednesday.

Bjugstad missed the beginning of training camp and is listed as week-to-week due to an upper-body injury.

The 32-year-old from Minneapolis registered 45 points (22 goals and 23 assists) in 76 games last season when the franchise was known as the Arizona Coyotes.

It was his most productive season since 2017-18 when he recorded a career-high 49 points with the Florida Panthers.

Bjugstad was drafted 19th overall by Florida in 2010. He has 311 career points (149 goals and 162 assists) in 694 games with the Panthers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Minnesota Wild, Edmonton Oilers and Coyotes.

{coyotes} Gretzky leads NHL icons in support of ALS fund, 'hero' Kirton

--
Puppybear.tv - Rakuten.ca - Amazon.com - Swagbucks - MyPoints - DailyRewards

OTTAWA — Wayne Gretzky, the NHL's all-time points leader, looked over at Mark Kirton, who was sitting in a wheelchair with an oxygen tube in his nose to help him breathe, and shook his head in awe.

"You are a hero to me," Gretzky said to his former Ontario Hockey League teammate and longtime friend.

The Great One wasn't the only one who felt that way on Tuesday.

Here was Kirton, who played parts of six seasons in the NHL, sitting in front of a podium, surrounded by dignitaries from both the political and hockey world, finding himself as the center of attention at the prestigious Wellington Building on Parliament Hill.

All these politicians and puck lovers were gathered in support of ALS Action Canada, a cause Kirton has been at the forefront of for years. As such, you could see the appreciation in his eyes when former Maple Leafs captain and Hockey Hall of Famer Darryl Sittler, his longtime friend, made a special announcement.

"Thanks to the unwavering support of Canada's seven National Hockey League teams, some passionate individuals and countless communities, the ALS Super Fund has reached an incredible milestone of $1 million," Sittler said.

The room erupted with applause, some of which was directed at Kirton's efforts.

"Mark could have felt sorry for himself when he was first diagnosed with ALS," Sittler said. "That would have been understandable. Instead, he's trying to help raise funds to find a cure for people who have the same thing."

Kirton's response?

"This is great," he said. "But we can't stop now."

He doesn't plan to.

Last year, after a relentless seven-month process by the 66-year-old that included numerous phone calls and Zoom meetings, the seven Canadian NHL franchises -- the Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, Winnipeg Jets, Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks -- united in their support of the ALS Super Fund to raise funds and awareness for research to solve ALS, a progressive nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, causing loss of muscle control and eventually leading to loss of mobility and the ability to eat and speak, paralysis and respiratory failure.

The commitment by those teams came last December. Nine months later, Kirton said he's amazed the Super Fund has cracked the $1 million mark in such a short time.

Then again, time is a precious commodity for ALS patients.

People diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, have an average life expectancy of three to five years. Kirton, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2018, has already exceeded that.

In the process, his impact on helping to find a cure was symbolized by the turnout of notable hockey figures for the event.

There were Gretzky and Sittler, of course, who were joined in representing the hockey world by NHL Alumni president Glenn Healy, NHL executive vice president and director of hockey operations Colin Campbell, Ottawa Senators owner Michael Andlauer, Edmonton Oilers CEO of hockey operations Jeff Jackson, Toronto Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan and former NHLer Laurie Boschman.

Among the MPs (members of Parliament) in attendance was Canada's Minister of Health Mark Holland, who said Kirton's inspiration will drive he and his colleagues to strive for change.

"You deserve the courage of our actions as you have the courage to tell your story," Holland told Kirton.

Holland and many of his colleagues were visibly surprised when they first saw Gretzky, some resembling kids in terms of their facial expression when they see their hockey idol for the first time. The Oilers great was a last-minute surprise speaker at the event after Kirton invited him to attend.

"I don't know what to say today. Kind of like the way I played defense," Gretzky said, eliciting a roar of laughter.

He then got serious, noting that the disease continues to take lives 83 years after it claimed the life of Gehrig, the former slugger with the New York Yankees.

"I grew up a huge baseball fan, and I loved the game," he said. "And I often think about the history of Lou Gehrig. And it hasn't resonated into where we needed to get to, as far as the backing of governments, financially."

In the past two years alone, ALS has claimed three notable figures from the hockey world — Maple Leafs Hall of Famer Borje Salming, an ex-teammate of both Sittler and Kirton, on November 24, 2022; Calgary Flames assistant GM Chris Snow on Sept. 30, 2023; and former Senators assistant coach Bob Jones on July 26, 2024.

It was Kirton who helped provide guidance for Salming and his family when the former defenseman was diagnosed with the disease. He and Sittler were instrumental in bringing Salming to Toronto to be honored by the Maple Leafs just two weeks before his passing.

That emotional weekend, Shanahan said, was influential in nudging Canada's NHL teams to help.

"Mark has been pushing for support for ALS research long before that," Shanahan said. "But when Borje went to center ice at Scotiabank Arena for the ceremony, in front of all those fans, on Hockey Night in Canada, and they saw how quickly the disease had overtaken him, well, that's a powerful, impactful image."

To that end, Kirton said Shanahan and the Maple Leafs have donated Real Sports restaurant for a virtual auction that runs from Dec. 5-19. The goal, he said, is to get each of the 32 teams to donate three items, including a trip for fans to see the individual teams play. A charity online fundraiser is also in the works, including a mini-concert by iconic Canadian singer-songwriter Jim Cuddy.

For Kirton, it's all part of the battle against ALS.

"We've been living this nightmare for what, a few years now, and I can tell you, it's horrific, it's cruel, it's torture," Kirton said. "The challenges are not daily challenges, they're like hourly challenges."

And yet he still perseveres, still fights the good fight as long as he can.

Little wonder Wayne Gretzky considers him a hero.

{coyotes} Utah Hockey Club beats tight timeline to construct practice facility, renovate Delta Center

--
Puppybear.tv - Rakuten.ca - Amazon.com - Swagbucks - MyPoints - DailyRewards

KEARNS, Utah (AP) — Bill Armstrong stood in the Utah Hockey Club locker room at a temporary practice facility as players came and went from a space that didn't exist not that long ago.

The quick transformation to meet NHL standards is difficult even for the team's general manager to grasp, and it's a testament to the commitment management has made since acquiring the then-Arizona Coyotes in April.

New owners Ryan and Ashley Smith could've scraped something together to get by while a permanent practice facility is being constructed. But even with a tight timeline, they opted to go all-in, even on a building the club probably won't use for even a year.

"It's been as much as I could've asked for as a player," defenseman Sean Durzi said. "They put up a facility for one season for us — and it's world class — in five months. If that doesn't scream commitment and all-in and everything that they want us to succeed, I don't know what does."

The temporary facility at the Utah Olympic Oval, where many winter Olympians train, was the most pressing and perhaps most difficult undertaking. It was not, however, the only one as the club raced against time after NHL owners approved the franchise's move on April 18 to get everything ready by the Oct. 8 season opener against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Among the items on the to-do list were an initial renovation of Delta Center, moving players, coaches and front-office personnel from the Phoenix area and breaking ground on a permanent training facility so that it could be completed in time for the 2025-26 season.

Personnel from the NBA's Utah Jazz, also owned by the Smiths, assisted in those efforts. Jazz business relationships in the Salt Lake City area also eased the transition.

The temporary facility was the most urgent priority because players spend far more time there than at the arena. Having the Utah Olympic Oval also helped because much of what was needed was already in place.

But not everything. The locker room, coaches' offices, video room and players lounge needed to be created.

"We don't have the space at the Oval that we're going to have at a permanent facility," said Jazz President Jim Olson, who also heads facility projects for Smith Entertainment Group. "So we had to tighten up the spaces. It was important to us that it just wasn't a makeshift facility, but the players could really feel good there and feel like it gave them what they needed to be able to achieve what their goals are, and that's to be a great hockey team."

Any hockey team, a great one or not, needs an acceptable place to play, and Delta Center wasn't NHL-ready when the Coyotes were purchased. The 33-year-old arena was built for the Jazz, undergoing a $125 million renovation in 2017.

To get the building prepared for the season opener, locker rooms, coaches' offices and an area for the training staff were needed. Olson said it was important that players have a direct pathway to the ice, especially crucial when an injury occurs so the athlete can quickly return to the locker room.

The broadcast team, game operations and media also needed working areas.

And the fans needed to be able to watch the game without obstructions — at least most nights. Capacity for this season is 11,131, with seats with obstructed views added for select games. Future arena renovations will add to the capacity and what officials hope is an improved game experience.

"To get the sightlines where we need, it'll be a significant renovation of the entire bowl — upper bowl, lower bowl, everything," Olson said. "Because it's taking all of our efforts to get ready for this season, we've only looked at that at a very high level. But after we know everything's working well this year, we'll start more of our focus on the future."

The present, though, beats the past two seasons when the Coyotes played at Arizona State University's arena as they hoped to secure funding for their own building in the Phoenix area.

"It was extremely tough in the sense that the player, his whole life growing up plays in small arenas trying to get into a big arena," Armstrong said. "That's the defining moment for him, and we didn't have that available for him. I think the hard part was where we were, the fans from the opposing teams would buy up all the tickets.

"Now in saying that, I do think it made them tougher. I do think when the fans in Utah come out to cheer for us, we will appreciate them more."

The organization also had to orchestrate the move of the team itself, including executives, coaches and players.

Forward Clayton Keller, who led the team with 78 points last season, played his entire career in Arizona, beginning with three games in the 2016-17 season before becoming a full-time player the following year.

He said the club employed a moving company to assist the players as they got ready to make the move northward.

"It was," Keller said, "a nice, easy transition."

{coyotes} Free-agent DeAngelo signs one-year deal with KHL's SKA St. Petersburg

--
Puppybear.tv - Rakuten.ca - Amazon.com - Swagbucks - MyPoints - DailyRewards

NHL free agent Tony DeAngelo will be continuing his playing career in Russia.

The 28-year-old defenceman signed a one-year deal with SKA St. Petersburg on Monday after going unsigned in North America this summer.

DeAngelo appeared in 31 games with the Carolina Hurricanes last season, recording three goals and 11 points. He added two assists in nine playoff games before his team was eliminated by the New York Rangers in the second round.

The 5-foot-11 right-shot defenceman is coming off a one-year, $1.675 million deal he signed with the Hurricanes in July of 2023. Last season was his second stint in Carolina after previously appearing in 64 games during the 2021-22 season, where he recorded 10 goals and 51 points.

Drafted 19th overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2014, DeAngelo has 48 goals and 210 points in 371 career games split between the Arizona Coyotes, Rangers, Hurricanes, and Philadelphia Flyers.

Dylan Guenther signed an eight-year contract with the Utah Hockey Club on Friday. Financial terms were not disclosed and it begins next season.

The 21-year-old forward is entering the final season of his three-year, entry-level contract and could have become a restricted free agent after the season.

"This is a very happy day for me and my family," Guenther said. "Everything about this organization is on the right track, and I know we have an opportunity to do some special things here for a long time. Utah is where I want to be, and I'm proud to commit to my teammates and the organization long term."

Guenther had 35 points (17 goals, 18 assists) in 45 games for the Arizona Coyotes last season, and 28 points (10 goals, 18 assists) with Tucson of the American Hockey League.

Selected by Arizona with the No. 9 pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, he has 50 points (24 goals, 26 assists) in 78 games.

Utah begins its preseason schedule against the St. Louis Blues on Sunday and plays its first regular-season game against the Chicago Blackhawks at Delta Center on Oct. 8.

"Dylan is elite in every aspect on and off the ice," Utah general manager Bill Armstrong said. "He is a young, highly skilled forward with a shot that's evolving into one of the best in the NHL. He's also a first-class person with a strong determination to be great. We look forward to having Dylan as a core player for this organization for many years to come."

{coyotes} Utah Hockey Club holds 1st practice of training camp

SALT LAKE CITY -- The list of firsts continues to grow for the Utah Hockey Club.

The latest came Thursday, when the team held its first-ever training-camp practice at the Utah Olympic Oval.

"There's a lot of excitement around the camp," coach Andre Tourigny said. "Everybody says camp started yesterday with medical [exams] and that kind of stuff, but today it's real."

That excitement was seen everywhere Thursday, from the players on the ice to the staff and media watching the first session from the stands.

"I thought it was a great practice," center Clayton Keller said. "Getting our legs under us, competing against one another a little harder than we do in the summer. It's great to be back out there with your teammates, linemates, and getting that chemistry going right away."

Keller is familiar with many of the players in camp, having been with the Arizona Coyotes for the previous eight seasons. The Utah franchise was established by the NHL Board of Governors on April 18, with all assets from Arizona transferring to Utah.

Though most of the team is back, newcomers such as defenseman Mikhail Sergachev are learning to adjust to not only a new location but a new organization as well.

"Just learning the team ways, how the team is playing," said Sergachev, who was traded to Utah by the Tampa Bay Lightning on June 29 and is entering his ninth NHL season. "How they're playing D-zone, neutral zone, forecheck, stuff like that. It's going to be a learning process so that's what I'm looking forward to, and today was a good day of that."

It was a big moment for some younger players, too. Rookie Josh Doan, 22, and 18-year-old Cole Beaudoin, who was selected in the first round (No. 24) of the 2024 NHL Draft, skated with the top forwards, each looking to make a good first impression in camp.

"It was really sweet being able to kind of look at kind of what they do," Beaudoin said. "Try to learn from them and just learn tips and tricks from them and just try to keep progressing my game. Just try to take it day by day and just try to get my game even better."

For Doan, camp is the next step after he made his NHL debut last season, finishing with nine points (five goals, four assists) in 11 games for Arizona.

"I think [to] just come in here and prove that I can play at this level," Doan said, "and not only play but compete, and be someone that they can trust and be an asset to the team is something that I'm focusing on. There's a couple things that I need to focus on, but at the end of the day just being the best player I can be and showing that I care, and I'll be positive and have some fun."

Utah has two more days of practice before another first for the franchise: its first preseason game, against the St. Louis Blues in Des Moines, Iowa, on Sunday. The regular-season opener is at home Oct. 8 against the Chicago Blackhawks at Delta Center.

"I think preseason is huge," Keller said. "It's a time where you come together as a team and you want to have a good start in this league. If you don't have a good start in this league, you're in trouble. I think we're going to use [the preseason] as a tuneup and keep it going."
