Had no idea Kampfer was still hanging around in NA hockey.

 

[pbgoalie]

Knowing th coyotes, you still have to wonder!!

 

[Kaibur]

They traded Ghost, Chychrun, Stecher, and Mayo without taking back a D-man. They called up Soderstrom, and Kolyachonok and are playing Mackey and Kesselring.

They've decimated their farm team depth. They need some warm bodies for Tucson.

 

[Petes2424]

Just to give more playing time to Viro and Sebrango likely. Not sure if Tucson needed a dman or not. GR is done for this season.

Same. Last I heard he was KHL bound.

 

[Elvs]

God damn it!

I've been waiting for the new roster update from EA because the stupid game won't let you trade draft picks in the main menu.

Now I have to wait for the next roster update again, only because you can't move "future considerations" manually either. ****!

Guy who’s career was wrecked by injuries.

 

[ck26]

Same. Last I heard he was KHL bound.

That was two years ago. He played a year in the KHL and was pretty good over there, Russia invaded Ukraine and then he came back to North America.

He was on the books as a Red Wings player, not a Grand Rapids Griffins player, which means Steve Yzerman (who hfboards unanimously agrees is a great GM) not just Bill Armstrong (who hfboards unanimously thinks is the worst GM in hockey) thinks he's a solid veteran depth guy.

Little late to be making a playoff push, Arizona

Little late to be making a playoff push, Arizona

Not too late to help reinforce an AHL team whose borderline playoff roster got gutted by callups last week.

It's something that doesn't really matter when you're GM'ing on XBox, but it does help the development of the human beings on your team to actually have good, capable, veteran teammates to play with. Kampfer's NHL window might be closed, but Nathan Smith, Ben McCartney, Jan Jenik, Slava Kolyachonok, Michael Kesselring ... there are lots of promising young players in Tucson, and having another steady hand on defense will help them all play in competitive, meaningful games for the next month. And if DET doesn't see a future with Kampfer next season, a one month audition might help him get a contract next season too.

I couldn't have said it better.

Take a step back from the ledge.

 

[The Red Line]

Absolute robbery by Yzerman. 4D chess player right there.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Expected he retired 5 years ago.

 

[Matias Maccete]

Shameful, move the team already. Trading away players for nothing, gosh.

Yeah… Future Consideration is a potential second liner for sure.

 

[The Red Line]

Yeah… Future Consideration is a potential second liner for sure.

From everything I've heard around here the upside is huge.

 

[Ivo]

Played there last season. Probably didn’t want to hang around in new circumstances.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

guaranteed this is Arizona not counting how many active bodies they had for their AHL affiliation at the trade deadline

Little late to be making a playoff push, Arizona

They’re undefeated since the trade. And have the 15th best P% since Feb1. Western conference better watch out.

guaranteed this is Arizona not counting how many active bodies they had for their AHL affiliation at the trade deadline

The AHL trade deadline is after the NHL deadline. Arizona had to call up players after the TDL but their AHL affiliate is in the playoff race. You can be a seller in the NHL and a buyer in the AHL. It happens often.

They also traded Dineen.

 

[uncleben]

They also traded Dineen.

And Timmins earlier in the year.
And Klok walked right at the start of the season.
They've lost 7 D since opening night (while bringing in the aforementioned Mackey and Kesselring)

They're running real thin
