and when Chychrun returns, hopefully Hanley stays and Connuaton goes!

That would make my year

I liked Mermis. For a guy we signed as a free agent he’s already exceeded expectations.

The boyz from Illinois know how to get things done.

I remember we signed him solely off his ability to shut down McDavid in the OHL series between Erie and London.

He looked good in his first prospect camp too, iirc that was before we signed him.

Yep that's when I first noticed him. I've been rooting for him since. Hope he comes back soon.

I'd opt for Mermis over Hanley. He's got some Brad McCrimmon/Tim Watters to his game. I just can't find anything good to say about Connuaton other than he's earned some Chipchura intangible type love within the Coyotes organization. Yeah, I'm in the minority that's a good thing. Nevertheless, this isn't a shot at Connauton, but a plug for Mermis as the 6/7 dman

 

[Mosby]

Only a matter of time until KConn is gone. Chychrun is looming.

 

[Ebb]

Yes, I'm guessing KConn will be moved (waived or traded), but I can also see hanging onto him as the #7 and giving Mermis/Hanley more experience in Tucson. I suppose Hanley could also be thrown into a trade package since he is probably a pretty solid #6/#7 on most mid/low tier NHL teams.

 

[TheLegend]

Mermis recalled on emergency basis.

 

[Mosby]

So.....

OEL - Schenn
Murphy - Goligoski
Mermis - Connauton

Something like that, anyway.

 

[SniperHF]

We've got 2 #7's in the lineup and 2 AHLers

Its like we are Buffalo

Except Buffalo is just scratching guys to help themselves lose more. We've got real injuries. Haha.

Oh I was referring to their actual blueline. Not the tankline

Buffalo has to take a D this year with their first rounder. They are approximately 3 D short of a good top 4.

Agreed. So what do they do if they have #2 or #3? And if we are #4 or #5 whats the cost to move up?

Honestly I dont think there would be much of an uproar to take Hughes at 3, but at 2 it is a different story.

A solid ready to play D prospect to drop down to 4-7? Not sure we have one to offer. We are a little light ourselves in top tier D prospects and Joseph is likely too far away from being a finished product.
