Confirmed with Link: Coyotes sign Matt Dumba to a 1 year, 3.9M contract

[rt]

The problem with stashing Soderstrom in Tucson is we don't have a legitimate coach there to develop him.

Why haven’t we hired Groulx and fired Potvin?

 

[Foggy1097]

Forwards peak at 24 and drop off hard around 32. Huberdeau's 10.5m runs until he is 38 and most of it is in bonuses. That would be a hard pass even if you took out Schmaltz.

Yeah based on past comparable players with contracts like his it’s probably best to avoid…I just think he has a lot of game left and wasn’t a fit in CGY.

A Dumba + Hanifin signing would also be a flare gun aimed at Auston Matthews and Toronto. Best to keep some space open just in case.

 

[moosemeister]

True. Let Tucson win. Their coach worries me. Not sold on Potvin.

I agree. At the same time, give him until Thanksgiving. The roster in Tucson is much better now. No excuses for him anymore.

I'm more excited about an extended Hanifin for Soderstrom + 2nd trade than I am about a Dumba signing.
I worry about Dumba's longevity.
If he signs with us for 3 years or less then I'll be excited.

 

[Mosby]

Potvin has always seemed like a budget hire. His resume isn’t at all impressive.

I don’t think Soderstrom and a 2nd does it. Even if it’s our 2nd.

God I hope we don't do Huberdeau. Just keep Schmaltz I know a lot, or most won't turn out, but we have a lot of legit left D prospects coming up that I wouldn't want to block if they have earned it. This makes hesitant about a long term commitment to even Hanifin.

Arizona easily wins that trade.

 

[wbwing]

Dumba being RD though makes a lot more sense.

Does Calgary ask for Maccelli + Soderstrom?

Does Calgary ask for Maccelli + Soderstrom?

Overpay. AZ has 10 second round picks the next 3 years. I'm sure they can figure something out. Calgary mainly wants a young prospect with upside to save face if it goes down and Soderstrom is that.

I’d happily do Soderstrom and a few 2nd rounders

Does Calgary ask for Maccelli + Soderstrom?

They can ask but Maccelli isn't going anywhere. I'd prefer Dumba and call it a day.

 

[Kai Yo T]

Does Calgary ask for Maccelli + Soderstrom?

Maccelli is a non starter for me.

 

[gorsk11]

Keep Soderstrom. Nice sure why we wantvto move a young defensemam who is starting to look better and better. Unless its a cant pass up deal.

 

[Prarievarg]

They can ask but Maccelli isn't going anywhere. I'd prefer Dumba and call it a day.

Yeah I'd prefer Dumba too. Not ready to trade high draft picks or give up on Söderström just yet.

I worry what the term would be on a Dumba contract, but I'd be ok to offer up to 5 years as long as the AAV isn't stupid.

 

[Sm00chy]

I know the Dumba rumors have been reported by both Craig and Friedman…. Where are these Hanifin rumors coming from? Can’t find anything on that front… I miss something?

 

[Dr Quincy]

Hanifin - Dumba
Valimaki - Durzi
Moser - Brown

Why anyone would play Brown over Soderstrom is absolutely beyond me.

Keep Soderstrom. Nice sure why we wantvto move a young defensemam who is starting to look better and better. Unless its a cant pass up deal.

Look at the advanced stats from last year. Soda was definitely one of the best D in those stats, and if you look at the last 20 games or so it's even better.

 

[Jakey53]

Depends on how you as a manager want to structure your team. If u think size on backend is important then you make a move once you can get the value for the player that you feel is worthwhile.

We are still rebuilding. Size might matter, but you also have to see if Soderstrom can handle the NHL, needs more AHL time etc. When called up he had 9 pts. in 30 games, not bad, and he was getting better and better as he played more and became accustomed to the NHL pace. We are in no hurry, so I would give him a chance. Soderstrom is worth diddly squat in a trade.

 

[Jakey53]

Could we afford Dumba and Hanifin longish term? I guess so…

Do we give Dumba long term?

Yeah, seems pretty good. Adding both those guys would have the team looking like they’d actually be challenging for a playoff spot, assuming the goaltending stays at least at the level it’s been the last two seasons with Veggie. Hopefully CGY would be ok taking Soderstrom + a couple 2nd/3rd round picks for Hanifin and not be asking for Schmaltz. I’d still kind of be tempted though even if they did ask for him because of the wingers we have in the pipeline

You really think Calgary would take that deal? They are going to be asking for a 1st.

 

[Jakey53]

I’d happily do Soderstrom and a few 2nd rounders

Of course you would. I doubt Calgary does.

 

[Baby Doaner]

It’s crazy to see the two stars of Chicago are still UFA.

 

[Jakey53]

We are going to overpay for Dumba, just like Zucker. Zucker is short team, as should Dumba. They are both out of their prime or nearing that, but they get a chance to show what they have left to earn another longer term contract when the cap goes up, with a team who is closer to competing for the SC. Also, a year of mentoring the kids.

 

[Jakey53]

What do you mean excuses? BA said Soderstrom was our best player in Tucson last year.
