ST. LOUIS — 21-year-old Clayton Keller was one of five St. Louis area hockey players taken in the first round of the 2016 draft.
Now, just three years later, he's blossomed into an NHL star and has a long-term contract to show for it.
The Coyotes announced last week they had signed the Swansea native to an eight-year deal to keep him with the organization through the 2027-2028 season.
Keller has turned into a star during his two full seasons in Arizona, tallying 37 goals and 77 assists in 167 games.
He finished third in Calder (rookie of the year) voting in 2018 and was a first time all-star for the Coyotes last season.
