Well, he only has 5 points in 12 games down in the AHL. Maybe they felt he hadn't earned it over some other players. They gave Lessio a shot, he didn't make an impact and how they are giving Shinnimin one. I don't hate it, he's still only 23, 3 years younger than Hodgman, so its not like he is some AHL journeyman.

Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. This team isn't making the playoffs. There is no single realistic move that would turn things around. Let it sink, keep the good bits from the wreckage, and start anew next year.

Crombeen is the only guy in our line-up that will fight with Chipchura being a nightly scratch. I mention this because I'll see post in GDT threads claiming we are too soft, and taking BJC out of the line-up will only make us softer.
Very intrigued. Forgot his whole back story and the fact he went undrafted to becoming the WHL player of the year. Not very large but seems like he is able to play with a high level of skill. Would be nice to replace Klink's spot, gain another worthy prospect and to let Lessio develop a full game in the AHL.

I'm with bandit. BJC sticks up. Chipchura doesn't do ****.
I love Szwarz. I wish he were bigger. I want to throw stupid money at Dorsett.

Flash does not make this team closer to making the playoffs. I'd rather keep the assets Florida would like ask for in order to get salary retention.
I do expect Maloney to make moves after Barroway gets approved, but unless it's to bring in a veteran RHD to replace Z and/or to rebalance the prospect pool, unless this team is actually in a playoff spot come January I fully expect all his moves to be sells.

I would have said the exact same thing about Gagner. I don't want to give up anything of value, and they would want value to retain. But it ended up being almost a pure cap dump for a 6th. I'd be okay with picking up a veteran guy like Fleischmann, under the same circumstances. It's a roll of the dice at a reasonably low cost. I imagine Florida might find someone with enough room for him who would be willing to give up more at the deadline. Pure dumps don't usually happen midseason, but when teams are setting up for the next year.
His contract is up, so it'd essentially be a try out for next year. Mixed emotions about it. We're not good enough that Flash is going to make a difference.

That's my thinking, I don't expect any assets that has any value to the Coyotes, but could fill a void in their roster because of injuries. Schlemko? Chipchura? His trade value is so low right now and I can't see it improving and they may end up not being able to trade him. Tell you the truth, I'm not even suggesting it, it just seems like a Maloney type trade, I rather they find a hidden gem playing in the 'A' that no one could have guessed.
If the Coyotes want him, which I doubt, I would just wait until his contract is up. I would not give up any assets for him.

Nobody throws games on purpose. It would be the end of everyone involved if it ever came out. You just set your team up to fail most nights by being the least talented on the ice and it works itself out over the course of an 82 game season.
It wouldn't kill Don to admit that this is a transitional year.

Not the heavy hitting presence but would RD Larson from NJ solidify OEL's game and allow us to move Michalek?

Lots of Captain Obvious remarks from Maloney in that piece. In any case, we may end up drafting a franchise player whether he and Tippett intended to or not.
But there will be no words that can express how infuriated I will be if he lets the UFAs walk for absolutely free. Selling them off isn't tanking, it's asset management 101.

How long has Boedker been playing RW this season? I see hes slotting in on the right side of the top line. How do you guys feel that has been going with Korpikoski and Vermette?
In the actual article by Fox Sports (not just the summary by NBC), I like this quote from Maloney:
"If things go completely south and it's clear the playoffs are not happening, maybe it becomes time to make other decisions," Maloney said. "But again, that would be with the idea of building, not tanking."
That's his escape hatch. It's one thing to intentionally suck (Buffalo); it's another to just be a bad team (us).
As for Boedker, I think the only time I'd move him is in the summer, and that's only if he's being a pain with his contract. I do think we could make a deal with Philly though (not involving Boedker). Hextall seems to be chomping at the bit to make a deal, so if he can hold out a few days until GMDM is flowing with Barroway Bucks, perhaps there is a deal to be made there. I want both Schenns.

Tippett moved Boedker from LW to RW in the middle of last season and I think his game has reached the next level since then. He looks more in place on that side. He has some nice chemistry with Vermette. He's more offensively talented than Vermette, so if he had an even better center, I'd expect even better production from him. Korpikoski provides some speed to that line and he can keep up with Vermette and Boedker in that regard, but he's really only there because we have no other options for that slot. At the end of the day, I'm still expecting 50-60 points from Boedker this season.
