Wow this is harsh. The NHL has taken away the Arizona Coyotes’ 2020 2nd round draft pick, and their 2021 1st round draft pick as a result of breaking the NHL’s prospects combine testing policy.
The Coyotes now do not have a 1st round selection in either the 2020 or 2021 NHL Entry Drafts.
The current NHL rankings for the 2020 NHL Draft go as follows:
1st) New York Rangers
2nd) Los Angeles Kings
3rd) Ottawa Senators (from San Jose Sharks)
4th) Detroit Red Wings
5th) Ottawa Senators
6th) Anaheim Ducks
7th) New Jersey Devils
8th) Buffalo Sabres
9th) Minnesota Wild
10th) Winnipeg Jets
11th) Nashville Predators
12th) Florida Panthers
13th) Carolina Hurricanes (from Toronto Maple Leafs)
14th) Edmonton Oilers
15th) Toronto Maple Leafs (Pittsburgh Penguins)
16th) Montreal Canadiens
17th) Chicago Blackhawks
18th) New Jersey Devils (from Arizona Coyotes)
19th) Calgary Flames
The draft is stacked with guys like Alexis Lafrenière at the top, with Quinton Byfield, Tim Stützle, Lucas Raymond, Alexander Holtz, Jamie Drysdale, Marco Rossi, Cole Perfetti, Jake Sanderson, and Yaroslav Askarov rounding out the top 10. The rest of the draft has a ton of great talent as well, like Anton Lundell, Kaiden Guhle, Dawson Mercer, Braden Schneider, Dylan Holloway, Hendrix Lapierre, Connor Zary, Justin Barron, Jack Quinn, John-Jason Peterka, William Wallinder, Rodion Amirov, Jacob Perreault, Seth Jarvis, Ty Smilanic, Jeremie Poirer, Noel Gunler, Mavrik Bourque, Lukas Reichel, Tyler Kleven, Ridly Greig, Justin Sourdif, Shakir Mukhamadullin, Jake Neighbours, Luke Tuch, Helge Grans, Jan Mysak, Michael Benning, and Antonio Stranges.

Imagine if Arizona would have won first overall in 2021
Goodbye hall
So for the next 2 drafts, everybody else gets to move up one slot higher for the entirety of the draft, behind these 2 respective forfeited picks.
Then who gets the picks? Or is it simply a shortened round?
Question: because of the forfeited pick does that mean there will just be one less pick in total this year and next year?
Now that I type this that seems obvious but I just want to be sure.
Damn. Arizona got punished harder for illegal scouting tactics than a team that blatantly cheated its way to two World Series. Honestly I respect the NHL for setting the bar with this.
Oh boy did he go hard. We don’t know how much they lied to the league in the process of their tests but I would guess they really have gone too far and that’s why the punishment so big.
Explains why Chayka resigned
That team should not even be in Arizona! Fold it!
Over paid for Hall as a rental
Bergevin has a lot of draft picks this year and next year, should offer a second or third for Hall's contract and start negotiating right away. If that doesn't work then he can focus on a major trade.
Gary Bettman punished his favorite team? The team that he made his personal crusade, to keep them in the Arizona desert? Wow. Now the Coyotes have the burden of trying to explain this to their fans and season ticket holders. Good luck with that!
I think it's fair punishment for trying to cheat.
Pretty Wiley move by the coyotes if you ask me
That is a HEAVY punishment. Holy god.
Boy o boy! This is practice is uncalled for and unnecessary! Ouch!!!
where will the picks go too
Damn they couldn't have just given them the last pick in those rounds? This is really harsh and almost threatens league parity
Rules are Rules for a reason! Take away draft pick is fair! They know things about them players other teams don't! I think that new owner thinks he can do whatever he wants! He's new and got what he had COMING! RULES OR RULES FOR A REASON IN THE NHL
Ok this makes me feel bad for the players on that team
Good thing they were testing players not expected to go in the first two rounds…
Does this mean that teams will technically get bumped up a spot earlier to draft in the second round?
Why do I feel like the coyotes do something every year to piss the league off
here is a question could it be possible for a team to trade their 1st round for 2021 or 2nd round for 2020 to the yotes for prospects or players ?
Hey do you yap while playing nhl 20 or do record this and ad your convo after?
I see a move happening soon. Houston I bet. I hope Quebec gets a team again.
Can the Canucks have their second?
They were just going to ruin that poor guy anyway.
Man, it's gotta suck to be a Coyotes fan. What a bunch of idiots to do this. Harsh punishment too. I wonder if they asked the league for permission and were turned down, then went ahead anyway? Would explain the harshness of the penalty.
a lottery for those draft picks then?
Taylor Hall
Aight Ima head out
So the real question is, where do the picks go? Like if Arizona loses them, are they just voided?
Someone should write a book called How To Screw Yourself: The Coyotes Story.
They should just move the team at this point.
hello quebec city, although bettman would block any attempt to move one of his babies, who lose money like trump.
Wow, that is some punishment. that hardcore.
they dont call em the ironfist commish for nothin
Give those picks to bad teams, red wings Ottawa
Seriously how is the NHL still trying to have a team in Arizona after decades of failure is beyond me….with all due respect to Shane Doan
Why do we even have a hockey team in a place where
there are more scorpions than people?
Who gets those picks
Wait if Arizona loses their pick? Does that mean there will be only 30 picks in the first round next year?
So who gets their 1st round pick or will we have a draft with only 30 picks?
"Look what the NHL did to the Arizona Coyotes!"
Uhm… look at what the Arizona Coyotes did to themselves.
So where does the pick goes?
chayka dont care
