Noooooooooooo

 

[Cogburn]

Don't expect a lot from him, and he may pleasantly surprise you.

All the best, Coyotes.

 

[Jormungandr]

I expected Brad Richardson.

 

[Hoglander]

Filler for Arizona's 1st PP unit

Just until Dylan Guenther is ready to take over.

 

[Grantham]

He's good and knows his role. The hate he gets from Canuck fans is due to Green overplaying him. But he's a good player in the bottom 6. Hopefully he can sign somewhere because he's been bounced around a lot.

 

[BonMorrison]

Arizona loading up on BIG bois (that don't play big mostly), eh?

Bjugstad, Ritchie, Chiasson, Kassian, Fischer...

 

[Bankerguy]

WOoHOOOOO
canucks fans rejoice

 

[Vitto79]

Probably makes the team

 

[NyQuil]

He was a real plug in Ottawa as part of the Spezza return.

 

[LaVal]

He was a bit of a meme early on in Vancouver, but his late season performance was surprisingly solid.

 

[Cancuks]

He's a good team guy who can score some goals in a limited role. Would have liked to see him signed to a two way contract in Vancouver. Rather have him on a league minimum salary than pay Dickinson or Pearson $3 million a year.

 

[banks]

He can fill a jersey for the league minimum.

 

[Raistlin]

He was a very pleasant surprise last year, he must really think he will get a chance to shine in the desert....I'm sure more than one team was interested in a PP net front guy.

 

[MMC]

What player has signed the most PTOs? This is his 4th.

Kassian plays a pretty physical game, no? Ritchie and Chiasson are also known for dropping the gloves once in a while.

Unless you meant ''grinding''.

Ritchie and Kassian both averaged nearly three hits per game last season. And had multiple fights.

That’s the 2020s version of Bob Probert!!!

Had 13 goals last season, would have been good for 6th on ARZ.

Would’ve been good for 7th on EDM, and just one behind Puljujarvi for 6th. Would’ve been 7th on the Caps, too. One behind 6th. It would’ve tied him for 6th on the Rangers, as well.

Except all of those teams have 50 goal scorers and ARZ didn’t even have one 30 goal scorer…

Good call. ARZ should go and get a 50 goal scorer.

Coyotes GM Bill Armstrong cites the noble desert cactus occasionally in interviews ... they're big and tough and prickly and you really don't want to be near them. And while he slowly drafts and develops those 50 goal scorers seafoam is recommending, BA seems content to do the cactus thing and be tough to play against.

Ohhhhh so you don’t make points. It’s just saying things. Gotcha.

 

[UrbanImpact]

Solid guy, slow and vanilla but very dependable especially on the powerplay.

If he plays like how he did in the last 20 games of the season then Coyotes should be able to off-load him for a 4th-5th round pick as a rental at the deadline.

My point is when your top goal scorer is scoring more goals you can afford to have your 6th/7th goal scorer in the 10-15 goal range.

When you’re team doesn’t have a high end scorer you have try and supplement that by having a deep group of guys who are in the 10-20 range.
