That's funny. It feels like someone realized they hurt the feelings of the other and caved.

Nice!

 

[Grimes]

Good news. Need as many dart throws as we can get.

Weird change of heart but he's a better prospect than some of the guys currently in Tucson.

 

[TheLegend]

Liam's agent is confirming it....

 

[British yote]

I honestly couldn’t be happier. He may never become anything. But he’s done enough to deserve this and if he ever makes it to the NHL I’m glad it will be more than likely as a coyotes.

Great news. I dont expect too much initially, it'll take a while for him to adjust to the step up just as he took time to get used to the OHL but I'm glad he's getting a chance. Just need to make sure he sticks in the AHL - not sure how much competition there will be for spots.

Very strange with all the conflicting information coming out between the WC's and signing him. Feels like Armstrong stepped in and made the decision.

I hope Armstrong goes and rehires some of the scouts that were purged in that last major restructuring of the scouting department by Chayka. I think we had a good mix before we blew it up.

How many "about turns" has this been for BA?

Why did he fire them in the first place? I thought we had pretty solid drafting the last few years. I guess BA thought otherwise.

When your first pick is in the 4th rd, it's easy to look good...oh, wait a minute.

When you have a chance to hire Lindsay Hofford….wait never mind.

Wonder if Lindsay is back on the golf course

Why is it not good? He'll get a chance to play in arguably the 2nd best league on the planet, with a door to the NHL if he performs.

According to CapFriendly, it's for the ELC max ($925K/year), so not only does he have a contract but he's making bank.

Thas a lod of quid, mate!

It notes “maximum entry-level contract assumed for the time being”

Well, now Craig is coming out and saying that it's the same deal as Ben McCartney's, which is about $800K and change. Still a lot of quid.

Looks like he’ll earn 65k in the AHL

Ooooh, that one hurt...

LOL. A 7th round pick got a contract and has a chance... he should be happy with any type of contract he could get at this level.

Craig also mentioned this is not a "sign and trade" deal. He's coming to camp.
