Speculation: Coyotes 2021 Offseason Roster Discussion Thread #6

[XX]

Keller isn’t being moved because no one is taking on that contract. If BA could trade him for anything he would.

Not true at all. He could have easily been moved when teams had cap space. Same with Schmaltz. The return just wouldn't have been worth it and it would have left a team nobody wants to sign with desperate to hit the cap floor to qualify for revenue sharing.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

So Keller and Schmaltz are no good, but also two players that are so good that their departure thwarts any valuable free agent signings?

 

[Jakey53]

Chychrun's got at least 3 years - more like 5 years - of absolute, unmitigated hopelessness from this team ahead of him. Let's hope he's as tough as we all assumed he was.

Chick will be getting the OEL treatment for the forseeable future.

 

[Kai Yo T]

I’m hopeful Kessel is next

I wonder how much he's opened up his no trade list lol. Come the trade deadline he might be saying "forget the list, just get me outta here!"

I’m guessing his no-go list is less than 8 teams at this point. Probably less than 5 teams.

Kessel will soon be adding other sports leagues to his approved trade list... NBA, MLB, MLS, WNBA, PBA, UFC, just anything to get out of here.

Bundesliga, laliga, eredivisie, DEL, Formula one, IndyCar, NASCAR, world series of dice, and ELS.

 

[DutchSenators]

Couple of guys I've noticed that are out of waiver exemptions and don't have a roster spot on their clubs:

Kieffer Bellows
Taylor Raddysh
Boris Katchouk

Raddysh and Katchouk have 2-way contracts for the first year if I recall correctly. They will likely start in the AHL and will only move to the NHL when there are open spots (through trades, injuries, whatever).

Keller and Schmaltz are the same. Hope they get better usage and growth under Bear then ship them away.

His contract isn't some massive burden. Plenty of teams could fit him. There's a good chance Keller finally breaks out this season now that he has a coach who will utilize him properly, and assuredly many other teams would welcome him and his contract to their team.

Competitional Hot Dog Eating?

Those competitive Cornhole tournaments on ESPN probably are calling about Kessel.
Just picture Kessel in Johnsonville Brats overalls pitching the beanbags, seems like a good fit

Kessel will have to show sth if he wants to get traded to a contender at the TDL

I don’t believe two-way contracts have any impact on the waivers process.

 

[Edenjung]

Beer and Bratwurst competitions.

Or who Makes better sausages.

 

[YotesFan47]

I don’t believe two-way contracts have any impact on the waivers process.

They don't, it only applies to what the player is payed in the A and if they have to clear waivers to start the year if I recall. Can someone more knowledgably correct me if I'm wrong about that?

Its just salary in the A. Waiver eligibility has zip to do with that.

 

[YotesFan47]

Wright and McGroarty need to be our picks this year. We also need to trade Schmaltz before that M-NTC kicks in which gives us two more seasons. If Colorado can take a 2nd round exit, I would love to grab Matikka with that pick too.

@hbk You're real big on McCartney right? Can you give me a brief synopsis of his game and your expectations, both high and low? I never got a chance to get down to see any Tucson games this last year and never saw him play in Juniors. He's the only player we have signed that I don't have some kind of pulse on.

This rebuild should not take more than 2 years. If it does, BA messed up. We should have all the players needed and just be integrating them over the next 5 years. We absolutely need to be a playoff team by the 5 year mark or again, BA messed up.

Ah dang, I thought you could send them down before the season started and not have to worry about them clearing but once the season began, they were waiver eligible.

 

[moosemeister]

I’d be fine bringing back Galchenyuk on a one year deal.

McGroarty, Gaucher, and Chesley are my current favorites for that MTL pick.

Me too. But I’d much rather have Bozak.

I don’t think so.

Hard working player who will play in bottom 6 capacity and score goals by going to the net. He reminds me of Martinook.

 

[YotesFan47]

Gaucher and Chesley would be awesome too but currently, I have McGroarty much higher on my want list.

Guenther - Hossa
Wright - Stamkos
McGroarty - Carter
Hayton - Pavalski
Jenik - Marchand

Those are more or less my comparables, and that's a stacked group. Just needs one Oshie and I think we'd be happy.

Edit: not saying any of the players reach their comparables top end, just that is who I see from them.

 

[Kaibur]

Still waiting to see what's going on with Seattle's defense. Dunn, Cholowski, Borgen and Lauzon are all still young enough to add and potentially stick around through the build. Even Fleury, maybe.
