Coyotes are five points out of a playoff spot instead of being in the basement with San Jose and Chicago
They're in tough to make it imo but they've kept themselves in the mix
That's a competitive team, albeit not a surefire playoff team or contender
But the bar has been pretty low for them, being regularly competitive at all is a step forward
The Coyotes are a circus and should be moved, but the hockey ops side has arguably done a solid job this season
