You guys don't even know how to make fun of this team properly. Geez. The best part is that they're being built around a bunch of defencemen and a goalie who managed to give up the 2nd most goals in the league. As for the Kessel trade and building through the draft, suck on the Cox: "•Phoenix is probably the best example that building through the draft isn't the only way to go. Of their last 15 drafts, the Coyotes only have two first round picks currently on their roster as contributing players. Those players are Martin Hanzal (17th overall, 2005) and Shane Doan (seventh, 1996). The guts of the Phoenix lineup was acquired through trades and free agency, plus, of course, one of the best waiver pickups in recent memory, goalie Ilya Bryzgalov. Meanwhile, teams like the Islanders, Lightning, Blue Jackets and Panthers keep picking high and keep going nowhere. The only point, folks, is that there's more than one way to do it, and smart GMs know that."
