Arizona Coyotes 2016 Training Camp Approaches

facebooktwitterreddit

Arizona Coyotes training camp is approaching and the season isn’t far behind.

It’s been an eventful offseason in the desert for the Arizona Coyotes organization and it’s fans.

Training camp is approaching, however, as well as the World Cup of Hockey.

When the boys arrive in Arizona for camp, we’ll get answers to some long awaited questions.

Is this year the year that the Yotes’ youth movement gets kicked up to 11? Will there be a surprise face on the NHL roster come October?

Should they make the roster, will Dylan Strome and Christian Dvorak be as effective in the NHL as Max Domi and Anthony Duclair were last season?

Finally, can the hive mind of John Chayka and Dave Tippett translate their offseason moves to on-ice improvements in possession to ease the burden on goaltenders Mike Smith and Louis Domingue?

The answers to everything are tantalizingly close.
