Best case scenario in my opinion. Don’t blow a lottery win this year when the top 4 looks equal, still likely to get the center prospect they crave

I agree, I think top five will be
Montreal- Wright
Devils- Slafkovsky
Coyotes- Cooley
Kraken- Simon Nemec
Flyers- Savoie

No chance Jersey takes Cooley now, correct. Small centers, they got enough. Slaf looks like the obvious choice if they dont trade the pick. Tho I doubt they get what they want in a potential trade unless a team is desperate

Jiricek is better than Nemec and Savoie IMO, but we will see at the World Cup who’s playing better (between Nemec & Jiricek)

Has there been any news on what they’d want for the pick?

Its better for them not to get the #1 OA and save themselves from a Lindros situation

But then again there is a chance they get the 2023 1OA and the situation occurs.

Going back to the present, Cooley has committed to college so its better for him and the team and the Coyotes wont be good for a long time and with Cooley he can stay in College and develop better.

They traded the 9th pick for a goalie in 2013 and it blew up in their faces. I highly doubt they trade this pick unless its for an overpayment. Trading is "hard" in the NHL

We will c what happens but I can guarantee that if Jiricek is available at 6 with the blue jackets he will be taken
