No. 29: Arizona Coyotes

Previous: No. 29

Record: 25-35-8 (58 points)

In a league without the Avalanche, we would be talking about how the Coyotes are just not good. Luckily, they can try and play as bad as possible to the best of their ability so they can receive a good pick in the draft. They can also look forward to next season, as it’s been spread around the rumor mill that their seventh overall pick from the 2016 draft, Clayton Keller, will be joining them.
