**The Arizona Coyotes** – Where players are near the end of their careers and where contracts go to die.

I’ll cheer for ’em

Hard no

So who’s running the PP1? Him or Durzi?
PatrickKingNSFW
They’re not a dark horse but they’ll make games more interesting than the last few years. Logan Cooley is no joke
poopiehands
Lol jokes right?

They’ll wisely trade him at the trade deadline for a pick. Good signing for them.

Oh right, the other teams.

Dark horse? No. Sorry. That culture is fucked. They will be better than last year, though.

For finishing last maybe …but a contender nah

dark horse fort what ? 1st OA ?
HanSolo5643
No, not this year. While I think they should continue to see signs of improvement, this team is still 1 to 2 years away from being a playoff team.
Rowdy_Roddy96
Alright so for sure we know that there are no defenseman worth signing in FA so now that the EK65 trade has happened it might open the floodgates for more deals in the future! I’m getting pumped up for this!!

They are honestly underrated, decent goaltending, a good forward core with their young guys and now Jason zucker, just really bad defense but with some underrated players there

Are we even sure the yotes are still a thing
FatherFenix
Nope.
None of this is to legitimately compete, it’s to provide the young prospects some “elder statesmen” to learn from and feel a little more competitive. Dumba and Zucker are great for that, but the goal is to give the top prospects meaningful ice time with people they can learn from, not pretend we’re a dangerous team.
TheBurroOfficial2211
Yikes Minnesota. That one has gotta hurt
Tkachuks-Mouthguard
Definitely a dark horse team to win the lottery
The-420-Chain-Smoker
No Arizona will not. Sadly. I wish they were more competitive but that hasn’t happened since 2012
OnlyHereForMemes69
Ah yes, we were all saying Arizona is one Matt Dumba away from competing.

Why is ‘approximately’ in quotes? Does that mean it’s actually *not* approximate?

I need to look at Arizonas cap situation sometime. It seems like they take on everybody else’s dead contracts but somehow stay cap compliant. Did they get an exemption from the league and are putting a $7B team on the ice this coming season?

I’m pretty sure this is the ole “play with us till the deadline and we’ll sell you to a contender for 2 mill.”

Yes Matt dumba ( the player no other team wanted ) puts this notoriously bad franchise in the dark horse contender category /s

I’m convinced 99% of people on r/NHL have never even watched a Coyotes game. They are a fun team to watch, lots of energy. This year should continue the trend.
Hell no they aren’t a contender. But neither are most teams that people convince themselves are.
