Dylan Guenther's story
Chosen first overall in the 2018 WHL bantam draft by the Edmonton Oil Kings, Dylan Guenther developed his game in Alberta, rising through AAA and regional programs before breaking into major junior. Born April 10, 2003 in Edmonton, he debuted with the Oil Kings late in the 2018–19 campaign and established himself the following year, finishing among the team leaders and earning the WHL’s Jim Piggott Memorial Trophy as top rookie after the 2019–20 season. His scoring touch and steady progress brought him growing responsibility in Edmonton.
As he approached the NHL draft, Central Scouting listed him among the top North American skaters for 2021. The Arizona Coyotes selected him ninth overall at the 2021 draft, using a pick acquired from Vancouver, and signed him to a three‑year entry‑level contract on August 31, 2021. Back in the WHL for 2021–22, Guenther led the Oil Kings with 45 goals and 91 points and played a central role in their Ed Chynoweth Cup victory.
Guenther made his NHL debut on October 15, 2022 and scored his first NHL goal a week later. He split time that season between Arizona and major junior; in January 2023 his WHL rights were traded to the Seattle Thunderbirds, and he was assigned there to manage his games‑played status toward free agency eligibility. With Seattle he finished the 2022–23 WHL season strong, led the club in playoff scoring, and helped the Thunderbirds reach the Memorial Cup final.
The 2023–24 season began in the AHL with the Tucson Roadrunners before Guenther was recalled by Arizona in January 2024, where he scored in his season debut and stayed in the lineup after a teammate returned from suspension. As the franchise prepared to relocate, he scored the penultimate goal for Arizona in its final home win on April 17, then moved with the organisation into Utah. Ahead of the 2024–25 campaign he signed a long‑term extension that begins in 2025–26, and opened the new franchise’s scoring ledger during Utah’s inaugural game.
Internationally, Guenther wore Canada’s colours at the 2021 IIHF U18 World Championship as an alternate captain and helped the team win gold. He was named to the 2023 World Junior team and produced seven goals in that tournament, including the overtime winner in the final. His game centres on goal scoring: he finishes chances in the offensive zone, produces in high‑pressure moments, and has shown an ability to drive results in both regular season and playoff hockey.
