Too bad Hayton can't play in Tucson this fall.

I know this will go against prevailing thoughts (and exacerbated by the fact that I decided to post this while heavily under the influence of choice alcoholic beverages, but I think Hayton plays a significant amount of NHL games next year

I agree. Keep on drinking, you are making more sense.

Not a Yotes fan, but I’ve followed Barrett since his 16yo OHL season. I feel he is absolutely an elite, blue chip prospect and proving a lot of people wrong with the season he’s currently having.

If the Yotes focus their developmental resources on only one thing over the next year or two, I hope it’s Hayton’s skating. He is not a bad skater, but if he can turn his skating into a strength then he has 1C potential, which I already see shades of in him as is. He needs long hours with an elite level skating coach to fulfill that potential.

Next year, I would be happy for him to get a short cup of coffee in the NHL and then make a run at the OHL scoring title, while playing as the 1C for Canada at the World Juniors.

That sounds like "development" , so we can probably scratch that off.

Also, JC has already talked about how he is a guy who can step into a 4C role quickly and not have to be an impact player right away. So it's going to happen.

Potentially stunt growth? Check
Burn an ELC year for no reason? Check
Turn a top ten pick into a 4th liner? Check

It has all the hallmarks of Coyote development. Done deal.

 

[Mosby]

Oh good another skating project.

Well, Glendale ice is the great equalizer.

Hayton got into a knee on knee collision the other night. Is considered day-to-day right now.

Initiation into the Yotes has begun. Knee injuries are one of the common forms that initiation takes... just ask Schmaltz, Chychrun, Capo, etc etc, haha.

But seriously, hope it's not serious for him.

 

[Mosby]

Premium knee injury.

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Initiation into the Yotes has begun.

I guess it had already started very early on as he left training camp injured, let's not forget.

RIP - heaven got an angel back today.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

What he's got a "bad bruise"...that's a long way from the heart, candyass - what did you call me? - you heard me, I want you to be a hockey player

For those wondering......

After he meets with the neurologist.

Cam Neely comes to mind.

For those wondering......

Man, that's some Charlie horse!

 

[Name Nameless]

Man, that's some Charlie horse!

After all, he has signed a contract with the Yotes.

Expect day-to-day to turn into decade-to-decade right away.
