Fair. Strome never had the dynamic element to his game though. His stat sheet at the end of the night was the wow factor.

Agreed, different kind of skillset. I often wonder how he would have done in the league if he was drafted in 2005 instead of 2015. His foot speed may not have been as big of an issue. I feel like he would have had a career more like Jason Spezza.
 
Now I wasn’t around for Wheeler, Turris or Boedker’s prospect days but is it safe to say that Cooley is the most talented prospect in franchise history? Previously I would’ve said Domi or Keller as they had many eye-popping moments before graduating.
It would be close between Cooley and Keller. Edit and Strome. (maybe trying to forget that pick)
 

Coyotes serious about development.
The development coach for defenders has already come a few times. We practice several details together. The power skating coach will come soon. The dg assistant has also come to see us recently. With Manix Landry, they now have two prospects to watch out for in our team. They do a lot of follow-ups with us. They are really present for us, "explained the Laval native athlete.
 
How much time has he lost?
about 2-3 months. Biggest issue with getting him signed is he's going to Harvard and he's going to want to get that degree which means he could go to UFA. He has options because of his education and the timeline.

He also missed most of the Ivy League cancelled year of 2020-21. He only played in the World Juniors and a handful of USHL games that entire hockey season.

If recent history is any indication almost all of Harvard's pro prospects left school before using all four years of their college eligibility.

Nothing to indicate Farinacci isn't planning to do the same.

Ilya Fedotov was chosen as the best player of December of our team by a wide margin in the voting!

December turned out to be a really good month for the young striker. In 8 games, the forward scored 6 goals (2 of them became victorious) and gave 2 assists.
 
Checking up on Matikka in his Waterloo debut, he had two secondary assists and a roughing penalty. Great comeback win over Chicago Steel, perennial powerhouse and first place in the East. It has to be a big adjustment for him, much more talent in Waterloo. From the highlights I saw, they play a faster and more physical game than Madison did. Should be good for his development. Box Score
 
It's behind the paywall....


In a nutshell

Aku Raty: They like his attitude. Hard worker who doesn't complain. Switched teams this year and offensive production improved (10-15-25pts in 35 games vs 22 points in 56 games) Coyotes have rights until June 1, but Raty isn't panicking.

Currently tracks as a bottom six forward at the NHL level.

Maveric Lamoureux: Coming back off shoulder surgery they feel he may have pressed too much to make up for lost time. For a tall player they feel is feet are better than most but.....

(from his coach)
“Without the puck he is definitely a physical presence, his stick on puck is pretty good and obviously his shot is big-time; an NHL shot,” Bélanger said. “The thing I’m working the most with him on is moving his feet. As soon as he touches the puck his feet have to be in motion. I think he’s standing and looking for a play too much instead of moving his feet first and then finding plays.

Anson Thornton: Had a slow start but ended up goaltender of the month in December (5-0-0-1, 2.25GAA, .945SV%, 1 SO).

Coaches are currently working on his stance. Getting him to relax a bit more. One of the main reasons why they signed him was they noticed he had a great set of hands.

“The ability to use your hands is a bit of an indicator to me,” Coyotes goaltending development coach Charlie McTavish said. “There’s very few guys that have a natural ability to catch and use their hands because the play is so fast and shots come so quickly. From a certain distance at a certain speed, it’s physically impossible to just simply react and catch a puck. Sometimes you just try to get hit; to get in the way as best you can, but Thornton is really strong at using his hands.

“We saw it in the rookie camp. Guys were point blank in the hash marks, taking really hard shots, some one-timers and he was just catching them like he was playing catch with his buddy. He can actually identify the shot early enough to move his body, control himself and catch a puck. It looks like nothing but it’s a big deal when 90 percent of goalies actually can’t do that.”

Others included.....

  • After missing most of Harvard’s season with an injury, Coyotes prospect John Farinacci returned to the lineup the weekend of Jan. 13 and registered four assists in two games. Between Covid, the cancellation of an entire Ivy League season and injury, Farinacci has missed a lot of time. Unlike other schools and conferences, the Ivy League did not grant an additional year of eligibility due to Covid but Farinacci still has a year of NCAA eligibility remaining so he could transfer to another school. Those thoughts are for another day, though. Harvard coach (and Farinacci’s uncle) Ted Donato said he is simply focusing on getting his legs back under him. The Coyotes selected Farinacci in the third round (No. 6) of the 2019 NHL Draft. Their rights to him expire on Aug. 16.
  • Coyotes 2021 second-round pick (No. 43) Julian Lutz suffered an injury in an exhibition game leading up to the World Junior Championship. He kept it quiet and played through it, but he did not return to play for Munich EHC in the DEL after the tournament. He was expected to be back in the lineup this week. Kurtis Foster is in Munich now and will spend some time with Lutz while he is also working with prospect Maksymilian Szuber.
  • Since the Coyotes loaned 2018 seventh-round pick (No. 189) Liam Kirk to Jukurit of the Finnish Liiga, he has a goal and six points in nine games.
