Speculation: 2018-19 Roster Discussion #3 - Not so bad at the moment

[Bonsai Tree]

I want to snag Hoffman in the off season. We need a pure sniper. We need a 1C, not a star 1C. We need goals from the wings and I'll give up some defensive prowess as long as we have 200 foot centers.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

When Demers returns do we roll with 8 Dmen or is Connauton waived?

The roster limits are over for the rest of the year, so I think Bushka stays with us until we're definitively eliminated; then I'd guess they send him to Tucson to help them try for the Calder.

Hoffman had a sick snipe yesterday. Wasn’t even upset about the goal

...although my entire section (they were "The Angry Section" all night) went ballistic, as it came just after the missed high-sticking (possible double minor) of Hinostroza...

Yeah, I see that sometimes too. Fans 100% convinced we're getting robbed by the refs, even thought PP opportunities were 5-1 for Arizona. Florida coaching staff was furious on a couple of the calls.

Just read something on the main board from an Edmonton radio guy saying hes hearing whispers that McDavid wants out. Speaking out of pure fantasy. What would a package look like from the Yotes for McDavid.

Whatever they wanted just say yes.

The team and climate to Edmonton for Mcdavid. I don't see a Coyote's package that moves the needle at that level.

" You hear whispers that he is gonna want out" is not the same as "You hear whispers that he wants out". The first is what Blair said.

From Morgan:

They had internal discussions on most of the big names. Ryan Dzingel, André Burakovsky and Charlie Coyle were a few that interested them. If Jonathan Huberdeau had been available for a fair price, I think they would have looked at that.

Also said talks are underway with all the RFAs - Schmaltz, Crouse, etc.

Yup I read it wrong. But still an interesting though.

If Hall doesn't extend with the Devils this summer Chayka needs to be all over that. He would fit Tocchets system like a glove.

Unless they put him on the AHL roster at the TDL he can’t go down.

 

[Jormungandr]

I believe he’s just ineligible for the AHL playoffs. He can go down for the push, but that’s irrelevant I guess.

Schmaltz: small sample size, long-term injury

He's set to get paid going into negotiations with JC!

 

[Bonsai Tree]

I don't think that Schmaltz will break the bank because of the lost season. I suspect that he will sign a shorter "prove it" deal and get the big money in 2 years if he pans out.

 

[_Del_]

The same way that Dvorak and Chychrun did...

I’m liking Podkolzin too!

They papered Busch and Garland to AHL on deadline day. Confirmed by Chayka himself on recent Coyotes podcast.

I think the surgery and recovery is relatively proven science at this point.

I see 6x$6M for Schmaltz. I have no concerns at that term/figure.

 

[jmichael7753]

If there ever was a candidate for a bridge deal that could benefit both sides it would be Schmaltz.

First I’d heard of it. Don’t catch too many podcasts due to lack of time. Thanks.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Excellent...those 2 will help for sure

I'd have my concerns at 6x6, but not because of the injury.

So did Chicago.
