Arizona, just. Man. I feel almost bad for you.

Elliotte Friedman mentioned that rumor yesterday. He was on Bob Stauffer's show in Edmonton. Maybe it happens later this coming week.

Why? They are killing it right now. These are the moves a good rebuilding team make.

I don’t. I felt bad for them when Chayka was spending all their assets to not make the playoffs. Bill Armstrong has come in with a bare cupboard and is doing a great job stock piling draft capital. 3 2nds this year and next and will likely add more draft picks for cap dumps and possibly a Garland trade.

I was thinking this could be a move. Florida has a lot of defenceman, Arizona has very few.

Guess we'll see.

 

[Gstank]

I can see this meaning the Panthers are going after Schmidt

 

[kerrabria]

We were talking about this on the Florida board.
I'll believe it when I see it. Stralman has a 16 team ntc, and there's no reason for him to agree to being cast off to disaster area that is the Coyotes. Especially after going from a highly competitive Rangers team, to the Bolts, to a now competitive Panthers team.
Also kind of doubt that the Coyotes would be interested now that they acquired Ladd.

If they really are planning on getting rid of Kuemper and Garland while regularly dressing Ladd and Stralman, then they probably won't even crack 50 points next season.

It's just embarrassing how they've been the leagues cap scrapyard for the past decade. It's a bad look for the NHL to have a team floundering financially artificially propping up the cap floor with other teams' albatross contracts and LTIR cap hits.

I don't want to see anyone lose their team, but the whole org and ownership in Arizona has been a circus since well before the Jets even came back.

Yeah, it's really a shame, the (few) Yotes fans I've interacted with have been very knowledgeable and passionate about the sport.

Not to mention they got hosed on their 1st and 2nd in the Chayka fiasco.

BA said multiple times hes not in the market of doing a patch job. He said his goal was to build through the draft and do this the right way for once in Arizona, that seems to be what hes doing.

Ownership is finally decent in AZ and this is the first time its a clean sweep of all the bullshit of the past decade. I'd imagine they keep doing what theyre doing. Its not like theyre not spending their own money on these deals like years past.

Cmon AZ...

Stop it

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

This is really good for Arizona. I don't see any reason to feel bad for their fans. Keep getting those young assets and picks!

 

[Gstank]

If Arizona is going full rebuild would they trade Chychurn for 9th overall and a small cap dump?

 

[Dread Clawz]

Arizona, just. Man. I feel almost bad for you.

Chayka totally firebombed them.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

No, but nice try.

 

[StreetHawk]

AZ has been making these types of deals for years now. Rinse and repeat. And what has that gotten them?

 

[SR]

Not a chance. 9th OA doesnt even get you remotely close. Chychrun is the only thing the team has at this point. Hes very young and signed to an excellent contract.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

AZ has been making these types of deals for years now. Rinse and repeat. And what has that gotten them?

No, they haven't. They've been wasting picks and cap space for mediocrity for years.

 

[ClydeLee]

Some people seem to have the view that AZ was continually and always doing this cap dump method but the past 3-4 years other than having Hossa on books they haven't done it and had all this cap on their own players trying to win under Chayka. Just without a good method, for a club that needs starpower, tanking to get it would be a better direction

I'm sure that is Armstrong's plan. If they can win the lottery and draft Wright, the outlook for the Yotes' future completely changes.

Easy Panthers fan. Lets not get too close to that kettle now.
