Confirmed with Link: Coyotes trade Strome and Perlini for Nick Schmaltz

[Vinny Boombatz]

Yep, we needed to get back a 2nd or at least a 3rd rounder to even it out.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

I like Schmaltz a lot. I’d have been happy with Strome+ or Perlini+ to get him. For both? Nah. If we’d at least have got a 2nd, I could stomach it.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts as well.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Seems to me this was more of a message delivered rather than a fair value trade.

I think we're going to regret letting Strome go, though.

 

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

Funny

I’m fine with moving on from Strome and Perlini. They’re both wimps. But we didn’t get enough back. We needed a second asset of notable value.

Chayka just has it out for any pick that predates his having prominent influence on selections.

lol

 

[Summer Rose]

I'm guessing Schmaltz plays LW in the top six.

Cousins as 4C then?

Crouse-Stepan-Keller
Schmaltz-Galchenyuk-Fischer
Grabner-Richardson-Hinostroza
Panik-Cousins-Garland/Bunting/Kempe

And yet lazy ass vets can still float around collecting huge checks with impunity? Doesn’t seem like a very effective way to send a message. Panik should be placed on waivers immediately. He’d clear anyway. That’s a message.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Good start. It sure puts Fischer on notice.

Chayka has been described to me as a very cocky young man, by someone close to him.

There was no future with either of those 2 guys. I bear no malice, but they needed a new start.
We needed a new start.

 

[SR]

This clears a contract, too, doesnt it? Wonder if thats something were going to play with?

 

[KG]

Sometimes I feel Chaka trades for the sake of making a trade. All these moves and team really isn't closer to the playoffs.

Also I think this cements that RT did not trust Strome at all. If Strome is going to become a meaningful player, it wasn't going to happen with RT.

But then we'd be less Chicago west.

 

[johnchayka89]

Strome will get his opportunity to play with some special wingers now.

Chicago fans are excited

Kempe recalled to fill in for the empty spot

Yes. Because you can get rid of guys like Strome and Perlini because they are on cheap deals.

You can't get rid of lazy ass vets who float around because their huge checks are the only thing keeping this team above the cap floor. Deal them, and you have to take back enough salary to avoid league fines, which you can't afford because your owner is basically broke. But the only way to get enough salary back is to either get a lesser asset who is being overpaid, or to get multiple lesser assets to combine to make up the lost cap hit - only you can't, because you're at the contract limit.

Isn't being a Coyotes GM wonderful?

 

[Coyotedroppings]

Appears we're looking for more energy.

 

[rt]

Good start. It sure puts Fischer on notice.

Haha. Yes. Let’s put the youngsters on notice while our leadership group completely fails us.

 

[johnchayka89]

The rumor in Chicago has been that they wanted Dvorak. They had to settle for Strome.

 

[Mosby]

Hmm Chucky moved to the wing maybe?

I like that ex Hawks line.

 

[RABBIT]

I love that Nick Schmaltz is a right-handed shot. I love that he is a natural Center. I love that he has put up some good numbers. I love that he's only a year older than Dylan Strome and the same age as Perlini.

I hate giving up both players for a single piece. I hate that we don't know if this guy was just a product of Chicago's high offense. I hate the idea of Strome and Alex Debrincat reuniting and potentially opening Strome's offense.

I am very even on this trade, sad to see how 2015 went for us. Sad to see Perlini failing to put it completely together.

Interesting, if Chucky's on board, that actually looks like a better team.

 

[rt]

Schmaltz is great and all, but he’s no goal scorer. At least not typically. He did have 21g last season with a ridiculous sh% but in 75gp with NoDak, he had 16g total. I like his game but we need guys who can score goals.

Schmaltz is on Chicago; they are selling high. The Coyotes are selling about as low as you can go. There's a reason Chicago does this.
