Per a new report from NHL analyst David Pagnotta, the Utah Mammoth could be looking for reinforcements amid their impressive 7 game winning streak.
There may not be a more impressive team in the NHL so far this year than the Utah Mammoth, who are in their 2nd year playing in Salt Lake City after moving from their previous identity as the Arizona Coyotes.
They have won 8 of 10 games and are in the top spot in the Central Division ahead of teams like the Winnipeg Jets, Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars.
Are they already thinking of reinforcements?
Per a report from NHL analyst David Pagnotta, the Mammoth are thinking about adding a major piece to their roster after their early season success.
We're hearing all the speculation of certain teams that are expected to go big game hunting, that are willing to add a significant piece. Utah is right there...
Any big wigs that are going to be available this season, I fully anticipate Bill Armstrong and Company in Utah to go right after them. They've got full clearance (from the ownership group) to go make whatever big splashes they need to. They want to make some noise... They're willing to make some type of big moves. - David Pagnotta

The Mammoth are Beginning to be Seen as a Destination
Even though Salt Lake City isn't seen as a traditional hockey market, the way that team ownership has taken care of the players and their families has made them an attractive destination.
Not only will their early season success give them more attention, but if that later translates into playoff success, they'll be able to attract even more talent going forward.
