If paired together, the sky is the limit for what Clayton Keller and Logan Cooley can accomplish with the Arizona Coyotes.
The Arizona Coyotes may have a special dynamic duo on their hands going into this season.
While Clayton Keller and Logan Cooley have never formally played together, the potential if paired with each other is off the charts.
Keller is no stranger to holding the spotlight in Arizona. This past season, the 24-year-old had a career year leading the Coyotes with 37 goals, 49 assists and 86 points.

He proved to the Coyotes organization and the rest of the NHL world that he is capable of being the main catalyst on a team, a position that he does not shy away from.
Cooley, the Coyotes 2022 third overall pick, is coming off a year at Minnesota where he had 22 goals, 38 assists and 60 points in 39 games.

After just one year in the NCAA, the 19-year-old center is ready to make the jump into the NHL and begin to etch his mark on this young Coyotes team.
The question is will coach André Tourigny pair Cooley and Keller on a line together? It may not happen right away but these two are made to play with each other.
Both players fit the modern NHL perfectly as they have blazing speed, soft hands, can facilitate and a knack to bury the puck behind the goalie into the net. Keller and Cooley match skill sets and they would be able to work off each other well.
The two youngsters can outskate their opponents and use their dynamic abilities on the ice to create plays from almost nothing.
In order to maximize both Cooley and Keller’s potential, they should eventually play on a line together, arguably creating the most explosive duo the Coyotes have ever had.
