NHL Leaks New Captain

In a recent article, NHL.com accidentally revealed who the newest captain for the Arizona Coyotes would be.

Keller's Worthiness

Clayton Keller is one of the very few bright spots in Arizona. He scored 37 goals and 86 points last year with his best teammate being Nick Schmaltz who posted only 58 points.


Keller was far and away the best player for the Coyotes and has shown a desire to stay in Arizona by saying it is his home.
