Murphy was his teammate. Might have asked him what he thinks.

If I recall correctly he fell because he said something racist or homophobic. As a teenager.

Makes me nervous that Tampa was willing to let him go.

Suspensions. A bunch of them. As a teenager. Hopefully he's over it.

Talented, young right shot defenseman who scored a ton in the AHL last year. I hope Zbynek Michalek is on the treadmill right now ...

our Defensive prospect depth doesn't look to shabby now

Chychrun
DeAngelo
Capobianco
Wood

not bad at all

I don't see it as anything to be worried about especially if he makes the team this year. Doan will keep him in line.

He's a talker

 

[zerekstar]

He's a teenager and that kind of stuff happens. I said a lot of dumb stuff too but you grow out of it. I'm sure he is more conscious of doing that now and will reign it in. I also wonder if Leblanc might have talked to Letowski before pulling the trade seeing as they both are affiliated with the Coyotes and from Thunder Bay. Letowski and his family are well known up here as is Leblanc.

Are you getting happier?

 

[ScottsdaleYote]

Clearly if he didn't have issues Tampa wouldn't have given him up for a small return. We were willing to take the risk but they weren't. He gets a ton of PIM too. Odds are he's a headache. For a 2nd rounder it's worth it IMO, especially for a RHD.

 

[zerekstar]

One concern is how lightweight a team we are building. Certainly a different ideology then Maloney had in that regard.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Well, things are turning out pretty good, Chayka is aggressive, always wanted someone more aggressive than Donnie and so far he's been good.

This draft has been fantastic

True. I wonder if we are poised for a clamp down on obstruction again.

 

[jmichael7753*]

I wouldn't rule out Chychrun making a serious run at a roster spot. He is said to be the most NHL ready defenseman in the draft. Could seem him at least making a deep run in camp.

A lot of the young guys (Domi, Merkley, Dvorak )have an edge to their game. And Fischer, Martinook, Strome, MacInnis, and Perlini are all large and physical.

That or we are in the market for Lucic.

Agreed AND we've kept our assets - thus far.

 

[kihekah19*]

i wouldn't rule out chychrun making a serious run at a roster spot. He sis said to be the most nhl ready defenseman in the draft. Could seem him at least making a deep run in camp.

absolutely.

Chychrun is a beast. DeAngelo is pretty short but he's more Domi-like than Keller-like. Wood and Capobianco are both huge. Dineen is small.

 

[kihekah19*]

I've always been a proponent of playing by the rules. You want the game to be fast, exciting and have increased potential for goals? Let 'em play..... within the rules.

 

[hbk]

I think he needs 2-3 years of development.

 

[kihekah19*]

Yep, I see a pretty good mix here with talent in spades.

The potential to make folks in Tucson happy is an added bonus.

 

[lanky]

Dineen, Merkley and Garland have a long road to earn a roster spot. Deangelo and Keller will likely be in Phoenix pretty soon but we've got some size in the pool and on the roster.

 

[jmichael7753*]

I think he needs 2-3 years of development.

Yeah. especially with Tippett that's the path they will probably take. No need to rush. but hey if he is stand out in camp it would be hard to look past.

 

[DesertDawg]

no reason to burn a year off his ELC

100% agree, I think by all accounts he has the ability and talent to make the current Arizona team his first year, but it will be more beneficial for the team and Chychrun himself to spend one more year in Sarnia, Arizona will have a young team for a few years to come, so letting him and others age a bit more will make the transition easier for them and the entire Arizona team

Also not worried at all about the teams overall size, the issue itself is very minor (possibly non-existant) with a lot of the guys they have now and there's lots of time to address any issue that there might be in the future. Right now its all about getting BPA and acquiring as much talent as they can, having that trade and player value in the future

DeAngelo is one of the most talented D prospects there is in the league, that being said he is not a very bright individual and he has a temper for sure. In Sarnia he got frustrated a lot because he was on a bad team and his offensive ability was 2 steps ahead of his teammates which lead to lots of turnovers, that was a big reason for alot of his disipline problems but when he was traded to the Greyhounds his talent was exposed and utilized.
In my opinion i think he will be splitting time between AHL and NHL next year
