Coyotes aggressively in the mix for free agent left wing James van Riemsdyk and could get decision as early as tonight. Arizona competing with a couple other teams, including the Buffalo Sabres. Would be a HUGE get for the Coyotes if they can pull this off. Likely a 5-year deal.
Whoa...

FWIW Gambo has been pretty accurate lately.

Connauton, Raanta, touched on/dropped hints on Domi when most others in AZ wouldn't.

The last time he had egg on his face regarding the Coyotes anyway was when he said the all star rep would be Keller and hours later OEL was announced :dunce:

I’m usually a pretty patient person, but I seriously can’t take the wait and anticipation from this anymore...I must know.

Phoenix or Buffalo, though...the great equalizer. Is JvR married? If he’s single, the choice is clear. Haha.

He's single and has played with Stepan before. Never lived in warm weather. Scottsdale might win us this one.

That and rumblings I guess are that he’d like to play for Toc...Coach/lifestyle/Stepan and a big American contingent on the team...farther along then BUF in the rebuild process...it might, actually, be possible.

You missed his hot take on draft day where he tweeted Montreal was taking Brady Tkachuk.

"Still a fluid situation... "


"No one has given me anything on this since the otherday, and I'm not allowed to report on anything the team doesn't greenlight first, so I'll attempt to be relevant as an 'insider' by reposting Gambo's tweet and making a noncommittal answer that adds nothing to the conversation. "

Craig just doesn't put the work in other beat reporters do. He hasn't really cultivated his own connections despite covering the team for however many years now. If he did, he'd garner enough respect that you couldn't just blacklist him if he criticized the organization.

Well, he's cultivated his position as the team's mouth piece. That obviously has value, and he gets his share of "scoops" that way. It just makes him worthless outside of that, and obviously occasionally blindsided by out of market media. Or by Gambo of all people who clearly has people he talks to in a non -official -mouthpiece capacity despite a sporadic, at best, history of coverage.

It's mostly depressing because Morgan was once the only one to ask uncomfortable questions. From good to worthless was a steep career drop.

Well Gambo has Tocc's phone number so he should have decent inside info. I still can't see us affording what he will cost unless we dump a contract or two.

Coyotes aren't even at the floor yet in real dollars. There's room.
