Utah Mammoth ready to take next big step after franchise's first playoff run

When general manager Bill Armstrong realized adding pieces here and there wasn't working for the Arizona Coyotes, he blew up most of the roster. Armstrong kept the core young players to serve as the foundation for the future and amassed a stockpile of draft picks, hoping to rebuild a franchise that had been mired in mediocrity. The incremental climb continued after the franchise moved to Utah, landing a big step with the Mammoth's playoff berth this season.
