The team has plenty of young, talented pieces and in a matter of time, could be pushing for a playoff spot in the Central Division.
In an interview with NHL.com, Coyotes GM Bill Armstrong made a pretty bold claim about the team's 2023-24 campaign, saying they can take the next step and that next step would be playing meaningful games all season.
Armstrong has done a fairly good job this summer in helping the Coyotes improve. He signed free agents Jason Zucker, Alex Kerfoot, Nick Bjugstad, Troy Stecher and Travis Dermott, while also re-signing Jack McBain and Matias Maccelli. Late last week, Armstrong also signed the team's top prospect Logan Cooley to his three-year, entry-level contract.
It's safe to say that despite off-ice issues in terms of their arena search, the Coyotes have a bright future, but pushing for a playoff spot this season may be pretty tough.
