Coyotes GM: 2 teams aggressively pursuing 3rd overall pick
Don Maloney has some decisions to make.
The Arizona Coyotes general manager currently holds the third overall pick at the 2015 NHL Draft, and has already said he's willing to discuss a trade involving the selection.
It seems as though several of his colleagues are taking him up on the offer, according to az central's Sarah McLellan.
#Coyotes update: At least six teams have inquired about trading for team's 3rd overall pick; two aggressively looking into it, Maloney said.

While the likes of Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel will be off the board, there's no shortage of tantalizing prospects available at No. 3.
Teams in need of a defenseman, for example, could be targeting Noah Hanifin, while others might be looking to secure the rights to forwards Mitch Marner or Dylan Strome.
It doesn't sound as though Maloney will be too upset if he doesn't pull off a deal.
If #Coyotes hang onto third pick, they haven't wavered in their choice. Still know who they want.
