Logan Cooley, the Arizona Coyotes‘ third-overall pick in 2022, has signed a three-year entry-level deal, the team announced Thursday.
The signing represents an about-face for Cooley, who said at the end of May that the Coyotes’ failed bid to build a new arena in Tempe had influenced his decision to return to the University of Minnesota for another season.

“We are thrilled to sign Logan to an NHL contract,” said Coyotes GM Bill Armstrong in a team statement. “Logan is an incredibly skilled player who had an excellent season with the Golden Gophers last year. He has established himself as one of the top prospects in the world. He is a very important player for us, and he has an extremely bright future ahead. We look forward to watching him play for the Coyotes for many years to come.”
Cooley, who was born in Pittsburgh, is coming off a 22-goal, 38-assist, 60-point Hobey Baker-nominated freshman season with the University of Minnesota that saw the Golden Gophers advance to the National Championship final.
