Logan Cooley has set some lofty expectations for his rookie season
The Arizona Coyotes open their regular season tonight when they face the New Jersey Devils. It will be the debut of their much anticipated prospect Logan Cooley.
Cooley introduced himself to the hockey world during the NHL Global Series in Melbourne, Australia. He scored the most electrifying goal of the year so far, even if it was only preseason.
Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard is the betting favorite to win the Calder Trophy as NHL rookie of the year, with Cooley holding the second-best odds.
The 3rd overall pick from 2022 shared his high expectations of himself for this season.
Arizona has only made the playoffs once since 2013, losing in the first round during the 2019-20 season. While the roster looks more competitive going into the season, the playoffs might be asking a bit much.
The Coyotes are beginning to build a very nice young core led by Clayton Keller, Nick Schmaltz, Barret Hayton, and now Logan Cooley. If they continue to develop like they are, it shouldn't be long before the Coyotes are back in the playoffs.
