"I've always believed in myself to be able to make that jump to the NHL. Energized by gold medal with Canada, Coyotes' Michael Bunting looks I've been a very solid American league player for a long time," Bunting ahead to next season said. "It was just a matter of me getting my chance and this year, the Coyotes gave me my chance and I didn't take anything for granted and I tried to make the best of the opportunities. Lucky enough it worked out JOSÉ M. ROMERO | Arizona Republic for me." Arizona Republic LOADED: 06.19.2021 The jetlag has long since worn off, the workouts in preparation for next season are soon to start and the gold medal is never too far away from Michael Bunting. The Arizona Coyotes forward is enjoying some time at home near Toronto, about a week and a half since playing for Team Canada at the International Ice Hockey Federation World Championship and winning a gold medal after Canada lost its first three games of the tournament in Riga, Latvia. The 2021-2022 NHL season is a bigger one for Bunting, he said Thursday when reached by phone. First, his hope is to re-sign with the Coyotes before becoming a free agent in late July. Then, to show that his breakout rookie campaign of 10 goals and three assists in just 21 games in 2021 is what he is capable of every season. Playing in the World Championship only further solidified the 25-year-old Bunting's belief that he can be a good NHL player, after getting a chance to prove himself with the Coyotes and spending the four previous seasons at AHL Tucson with the Roadrunners, working toward an opportunity. "It was a lot of fun. I got to try different things with my game, and it just gave me more confidence going into the next season knowing that I am capable of playing at this level in any situation," Bunting said of the experience in Latvia. "I'm not done proving yet that I do belong in the NHL and I am a solid player. "I've got to keep proving, like I said, that I do belong and keep producing like I have been. So that's the plan and I've just got to keep it rolling." Bunting starts skating and working out on Monday, he said, after getting some much-needed time off. He will ramp up the skating sessions come August, and will focus on getting stronger while not adding weight so as to maintain speed and do battle in front of the net, which became his calling card and contributed greatly to his offensive production.
