The Arizona Coyotes have sent 7 players to the World Junior Championships in Sweden this year. Their cupboards haven't been this stocked in years. They originally sent 8 players but Tanner Molendyk suffered an injury preventing him from playing for Team Canada on the back end.
Arizona has sent 4 Forwards, 2 Defenseman and a goalie to this years World Junior Championships representing Team USA, Slovakia, Sweden and Finland.
Team USA is bolstered with forward Gavin Brindley and defensemen Ryan Chesley and Drew Fortescue.
Team Slovakia is anchored with forward Samuel Honzek and goalie Adam Gajan.
Team Sweden has the pleasure of having David Edstrom be on their 3rd Line as a center/winger combo.
Team Finland has Jani Nyman playing with them as a middle six winger.
Nyman and Chesley were drafted in 2022 while the rest were drafted in 2023. Arizona could have also sent forwards Shane Wright and Adam Fantilli but both declined to play in the World Junior Championship this year as they wanted to stay focused on their pro careers. Arizona's cupboard has never looked this stocked and has 4 picks in the top 2 rounds next year as well.
