Wonder if it's one of those ACL,MCL, and meniscus, RIP knee situations

 

[SniperHF]

Well it definitely looked bad when he was down. Just one of those situations where you know it's not going to have a happy ending.

I was just about to ask. If insurance is paying salary maybe we can upgrade somewhere lol

Ryan Strome just got traded to NYR. Get ready for a Dylan for Zuccarello deal. NYR are going to unite the Strome’s and hope that will spark them...

Finally plays a decent game and his ACL decides to explode. Vintage Coyotes luck.

Some rough math...

Demers salary: $4.4M
Florida is paying: 12.5% ($3.85M remaining)
22% of season done = $847K already paid (~$3M remaining)
Insurance pays 80% = $2.4 million freed up

 

[SniperHF]

Is it a given he's actually insured and it would pay out for 78% of one season?

 

[Summer Rose]

Gambo is a reliable source now?

I generally believe Strome will be moved, and maybe to NYR, but not for a 31-year-old pending UFA.

Direct line to Tocchet.

We really need a bat signal. @mouser

Zuccarello would be great! Assuming he actually wants to be here and would sign a reasonable deal to stay. Those last two things seem extremely unlikely. Haha.

^ Recruiting ex Rangers shouldn't be a problem with Stepan and Raanta here to speak about the greatness of AZ.

 

[Summer Rose]

Confirmed by Craig Morgan now.

Maybe shoot for Hayes? Rangers may not necessarily want to give him the dealnit would take to keep him, given he’s at the higher end of the age range of their rebuild.

Goligoski+Strome+Westerlund+2nd for Hayes and Shattenkirk?

 

[SniperHF]

Has been lately.

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

 

[Summer Rose]

Well at least Demers got his first goal of the season before his season ended.

Yeah I would take either one. But by all accounts Zucc is terrific in the room and already knows Stepan, Raanta, and Grabner really well....I would prefer him even though he’s a bit older. With his small size and speed he’s got to have at least another good 4-5 years of hockey in him so I think it would be worth it. Maybe he could mentor Hino a bit too since he’s basically his clone...

But we need someone who can score goals.

Gambo is an ass, but hes been pretty accurate lately with his rumors.

I think he covered this at the beginning of the season. Insurance isn't a given. Owners tend to buy insurance for their highest paid players.

If they don't go out and say he his insured, he isn't. Still waiting.

 

[RABBIT]

We have to do something, right?

He was playing very poorly. Looked extremely sluggish and apathetic. Doesn’t feel much like a loss.
