Domi: I just want to make the Coyotes

When it comes to the projected rookie class of 2015-16, Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel have naturally been getting the most attention by a wide margin, but there are a lot of great prospects that are in position to make their mark on the NHL this season.

Max Domi is a prime example of that. Taken with the 12th overall pick in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, Domi has the potential to provide the Arizona Coyotes with a valuable combination of skill and grit for years to come. He has more modest goals right now though.

“I just want to make the team,” Domi said, per the Coyotes’ official website. “I’m not looking too far ahead. There’s a lot of young guys here that are trying to come in and earn a spot too.”

He came close to earning a spot last year, but ultimately fell just short of making the cut. He responded by recording 32 goals, 102 points, and 66 penalty minutes in 57 games with the OHL’s London Knights.

The expectation is that he will make the team in 2015-16 though and even as a rookie perhaps he can provide a meaningful boost to the Coyotes after they finished the 2014-15 campaign with the second worst offense in the league.
