\t\t\t\t\tAt the 2022 Draft, the Arizona Coyotes set their sights on American forward Logan Cooley<\/a> with the third overall pick.<\/p>\n Three years later, the organization-now the Utah Mammoth-certainly doesn’t regret its choice, as the 21-year-old center just completed a strong 2024-25 season with 65 points, including 25 goals.<\/p>\n He has become one of the NHL’s young rising stars.<\/p>\n But did you know that Logan Cooley nearly ended up with another NHL team that memorable July night at the Bell Centre?<\/p>\n That said, Cooley admitted he came very close to landing with the Philadelphia Flyers, as they tried to pull off a trade to move up to that third pick.<\/p>\n “The Flyers met with me 20 minutes before the draft. – Logan Cooley<\/p>\n Another Major Trade Attempted in Montreal, Two Spots After the Canadiens’ Pick<\/p>\n At the time, Chuck Fletcher was the Flyers’ general manager, a year before Daniel Bri\u00e8re took over. He reportedly contacted his Coyotes counterpart to discuss completing a trade but ultimately decided to keep the fifth overall pick and selected Cutter Gauthier<\/a>.<\/p>\n As the saying goes, sometimes the best trades are the ones you don’t make.<\/p>\n Previously on HabsFanatics<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tHABSFANATICS.COM![\"image\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/591765.webp.webp\")
As reported by HABSolumentFan<\/a>, Cooley revealed on an episode of the Spittin Chiclets podcast that he expected to be drafted by the Coyotes if he slipped to third overall.<\/p>\n
They were trying to trade up to pick me.”<\/p>\n
