Coyotes send No. 3 pick Dylan Strome back to junior set roster

The have some really positive things already happening with their ongoing Caris LeVert Jersey rebuild. This years No. 3 overall draft pick very well could be the centerpiece of the renovation. As such, he wont be spending the 2015-16 season with the NHL club.The Coyotes announced Sunday that Strome has been sent back to the Ontario Hockey League, where hell rejoin the Erie Otters. In doing so, the Coyotes are preserving a valuable Jeff Green Jersey year on Stromes entry-level contract as it will slide one season while he stays in junior hockey. He could have been given a nine-game trial run at the NHL level without burning a year, but this should make it clear that he was always going to go back to junior.Strome, who had one goal in five preseason games with Arizona, will go back to Erie as the teams star player and reigning OHL scoring champion. He had 129 points in 68 games last season while spending most of the year in the shadow of teammate and Jamal Crawford Jersey 2015 No. 1 overall pick .The 18-year-old will have a chance to help Erie compete for an OHL title and Memorial Cup as well. That probably will be a heck of a lot more productive than spending a year slugging it out with Jason Kidd Jersey a Coyotes team that does not appear to have a bright season ahead. That doesnt mean the Coyotes wont still have things to look forward to this season. The arrival of prospects (selected 12th overall in 2013) and (a key piece in the trade with the New York Rangers) should help create a little buzz. Both could make a pretty solid impact despite their youth.With sending Strome back to junior and releasing two other players, including goalie , to the AHL, the Coyotes' roster is set for opening night.Arizona opens the season on the road Friday DeAndre Jordan Jersey against the Los Angeles Kings.
