Callahan's a 2018 5th rounder with an okay NCAA career (awesome sophomore year and meh the rest of the time), so getting his rights for a 7th is worth it.

Wicked trade Armstrong

 

[RABBIT]

CapFriendly only ones affected by this right now. Punching air tryin to figure out how to fit another Yotes logo on the draft pick tracker

Arizona is trading everybody for a pick.

The office staff must be getting nervous.

Why’s that?

 

[Mike Jones]

Why’s that?

When they run out of players they're gonna start eying everybody else and wondering what kind of picks they can get for marketing, ticket sales and everybody else not tied down.

Bill Armstrong and John Ferguson Jr both have deep ties to the small world of high level hockey in Providence. Armstrong was based there for most of his scouting career, and got his post playing career start there. JFJR’s “second act”, post TML was largely in Providence. He spent the last half decade as the GM of the Providence Bruins.

So if the Friars captain is inexplicably traded out of the organization they run together, so that he can remain in Providence once he turns pro, you can bet there’s a reason for it. It may be a private reason. Maybe a family reason. But I’m sure there’s a very good reason why Callahan needs to be in Providence and not in Tucson next season.

There are puck hogs and then there are pick hogs.

 

[Heldig]

Guessing he was not interested in signing with the Coyotes?

 

[M2Beezy]

Arizona trades Dave from Accounting and an Intern to be Named Later for a 2023 6th

Ha - and a bunch of " experts " here were saying that Dave would get at least a 3rd round pick plus a minor league Accountant.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

They have so much cap space for next season its crazy
have to assume they will look to take on bad contracts for assets
might be tough hitting the cap floor through free agency for atleast good free agents atleast
Arizona with a whole lot of magic beans and not much else right now

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Are there some kind of stats around percentage of 7 rounders who have solid NHL careers (IE: over 200 games)?

My guess is somewhere between 1-3%?

Exactly.

The Coyotes now suddenly have as many picks in 2024 (12) as they have in 2022 (12).

Out of curiosity I did some quick maths and from 10 drafts between 2008 and 2017, it's 18/300 players making the number 6%. However, I took slight liberty of counting in the players who haven't reached 200 games quite yet but undoubtedly will (Kubalik, Olofsson, Matt Roy). And considering I took fairly recent drafts it's likely that number will increase some more. Additionally, it's quite hard for goalies to reach 200 games played as it's like 8 seasons of being NHL backup. So at the end of the day, 7-8% of 7th rounders have a fairly meaningful NHL career.

There's no such thing as a minor league accountant, only minor league journal entries.

What about the guy who did the false Madoff statements? That's beer league level accounting . . .

And minor league entries are the Isles on the Power Play

Blues fans in particular are fascinated with this experiment because it's like an abstract where we don't have to suffer if it fails but we're really curious what Bill Armstrong will do with tons of picks. There is no way the Blues lift the Cup without Bill Armstrong, just no way.

Remember he brought in Tampa’s top scout Plandowski and Colorado’s top scout Hepple, too. And a plethora of additional top-notch, highly-regarded scouting and development people. These scouts all know eachother. Arizona has put together a dream-team scouting staff, and they’re attracting more and more talent. Especially given that they’re acquiring unheard numbers of picks to use. It’s like fantasy camp for scouting all-stars. They’re living their best lives right now in AZ.
