LW- Keith Tkachuk (1996-1997)  

C- Jeremy Roenick (1999-2000)  

RW- Shane Doan (2007-2008)

The first line for the Arizona Coyotes All-Time Roster is deadly. In their respected seasons listed above, these three players have a combined 242 points in 235 games played. All three players were selected in the first round of their NHL Drafts as well. Keith Tkachuk went 19th overall in 1990, Jeremy Roenick went 8th overall in 1988, and Shane Doan went 7th overall in 1995. All three players happened to be on the Coyotes at the same time from 1996 to 2001, as well.

    • Keith Tkachuk was the inaugural captain of the Arizona Coyotes franchise after they moved from Winnipeg in 1996. His career high in goals that season (52) would eventually send the team into the playoffs. Tkachuk would be named to the NHL All-Star team in 1996, as well.

    Jeremy Roenick came to the Coyotes via trade in 1996. Because Teppo Numminen was wearing #27 at the time, ‘JR’ would switch to #97, becoming the first player in league history to wear that number. His best season would come three years into his time in Arizona. Just like Tkachuk in ’96, Roenick would lead the Coyotes in scoring (78 points), and gain an NHL All-Star nomination.

    Shane Doan is one of the most loyal figures in professional sports as he has been with the Arizona Coyotes franchise his entire career. Based on that alone, Doan earns the captain ‘C’ for the Arizona Coyotes All-Time Team. With many productive seasons under his belt, Captain Coyote shined in 2007. Doan put up 78 points in 80 games that year, which would include 28 goals and 50 assists. Unlike his fellow linemates, Doan would not get a bid to play in the NHL All-Star game that season (he would go the following year in 2009).
