Jake. You are 70 years old. You’ve been a hockey fan longer than I’ve been alive. You have more information in your head about hockey than I do. More experience. More knowledge.

You’ve got a great memory and you don’t have to learn lessons over and over again because you remember. You remember being told we we saved because of Domi, Strome, Duclair, DeAngelo and Murphy and Gormley. You’re negative because that’s usually the correct perspective when it comes to the coyotes. Anyone who’s been negative about the Coyotes for the last 25 years is someone who’s been mostly correct over the last 25 years.

You’ve got good reasons for shooting stuff down. I just wish you’d remember to provide them more often when you do the shooting.

I apologize for being nasty earlier.

No, I'm a realist, not a party pooper. Sure it's nice to see the kids do good, but let's not do cart wheels before they are earned. I'm pulling for these kids as much as anyone.
Cartwheels? We suggest that these players might be closer to NHL ready than we'd expected and you tell us to pump the breaks like we've declared them the next McDavidses lol. Overreact much?

Edit: I like you Jakey, I do lol. Just couldn't stop myself from give you some shit.

I've been told I have wide shoulders.;) Like I have said, it's fine to be excited, and we should be as we have more young talent than ever, but let's let things play out over training camp instead of one period or game. Doan and Geekie, for example, have played great, better than I thought they would, but it has mostly been against their peers. If they continue this play as training camp plays out, then I will really be excited., but until then let's enjoy training camp and not have crazy expectations. The future is great.

As of now, we have no idea how far, or close to making the team they are. Both have progressed very nicely the way it looks but Doan and Geekie haven't played against a NHL team with most of their regulars. The future looks bright.

And the Tucson Roadrunners appear poised to have a solid roster. Just looking at one of the three rosters we have going and I’m thinking we he potential for a solid AHL squad is quite good:

Yeah, we’ll not to be too optimistic, but it doesn’t hurt to dream a little bit. It’s nice to dream that an unsung player makes it big.

I wonder if Lutz will go to AHL or DEL this year.
I hope the AHL. He needs to learn to simplify and play mor North/South based on what I saw at the rookie tourney. Dude was all over the place, but never seemed to be where he should be. Wasn’t providing he defensemen with simple outlet options. Wasn’t a great passing option in front for his center. He was roving too much.

I agree. I just have higher hopes now, that they're both farther along in their development than I thought. Might be in the NHL a year sooner, but no way are they ready now. IMO they can't even earn their way onto the roster yet. BA will want them to pay their dues and cook at the lower level.
