Arizona’s AHL team was fun to watch last season, as they had several of the league’s top offensive players. While it’s easy to pick on Dylan Strome, and he’s by no means a perfect player, he looked great in the AHL and seems to be progressing well. I haven’t agreed with all the picks they’ve made in recent years, but there’s certainly talent in this pipeline and the positive progression of several prospects balances out the fact that I’m more bearish on some of the players they’ve picked high recently.
