</p>Strong drafting and Don Maloney’s clever work over the phone – plus the presence of Oliver Ekman-Larsson – should have the Arizona Coyotes back into contention soon. The team in fact brought strong efforts for most of the 2015-16 season, but a playoff berth was asking a lot of this roster. The good news is the franchise has organizational depth to rival any team’s.

Also interesting that Tinordi went from the best prospect in Montreal's system a year ago, to 5th best Habs prospect in the Fall, to not even making our list this Spring. Seems like the club at least values him more highly than Phil-Sam, drug-addled and all.

With the drug suspension, I'd be shocked if Tinordi was brought back.

Hard to believe how far Perlini's stock has dropped.

Yeah, I think it's pretty justified though. Say what you will about the coaching staff linemates, etc, a guy who's that big and fast with his shot should still be producing more in his draft +2 year. He should be a dominant force at this point. Granted I've only seen the OHL highlight videos, so it's possible he's just supremely snakebitten and hits 5 posts a game, but barring that it's concerning.

I agree. This next training camp will be a big one for him.
