2010 NHL Entry Draft, Round 1: Coyotes nab Brandon Gormley at #13

Round 1 - 13th overall

Phoenix Coyotes - Brandon Gormley

6'2", 185 lbs. defenseman, Moncton (QMJHL)

Two bluechip defensemen dropped in the draft - Gormley and Cam Fowler. They went consecutively and to the chagrin of the Kings, Stars and Sharks, both of them also ended up falling to Pacific division teams.

Don Maloney received the first ever GM of the Year award this summer and he’s taking advantage of some (rare) good luck today. Gormley is hockey’s version of a “five-tool player” in baseball; while he doesn’t stand head and shoulders above other prospects in one specific area, he’s more or less good at everything.

This was a great value for the Coyotes.
