Former EHC Biel player Valentin Nussbaumer

Nussbaumer was the only Swiss player of this draft class to be selected by an NHL team. He will now get the opportunity to play together with the Arizona Coyotes' other prospects in their development camp.

The forward has been playing overseas since 2018. In 58 regular season games for the Shawinigan Cataractes (QMJHL), Nussbaumer recorded 17 goals and 21 assists.
