Don Maloney's 14-15 season ending press conference.

Some interesting quotes from Maloney's press conference:

"I've already had calls today about players. Teams are quite concerned about where the cap is going to be."

Also mentioned a few players for the 3rd overall pick, but name-dropped Marner. "Electric, Gaudreau-level player. A potential star winger who can excite people. We need a front line player."

Some other players going to the Worlds - Connor Murphy, John Moore, and Mark Arcobello for Team USA. Toby Rieder for Team Germany.

Maloney also pretty much said he isn't looking at UFA's as much as he is teams that are cap strapped.

Maloney trolling Leafs with comments about Marner.

Mark Hunter is the guy behind landing him in London so odds are the Leafs were hoping he'd slide to the 4-5 slot. Maloney just basically trying to create doubt to get them to trade up.

Season ending press conference on team website. Just gushing that he's a first line star caliber player and that the Coyotes have about 6 guys who are in the mix at the 3rd pick. Marner is the only one in which he went into full detail on. Which means it's either legit or they are manipulating the media.

GMDM is so savvy.

Maloney on this season's UFA crop:

I just look at the free agency market, and there's not going to be a bevy of players out there free for the picking. I think we're going to have to be selective with what we do. But I look at Nashville and what they did this past off-season, where they added 3-4 experienced players that did very well, with very favorable contracts that filled holes for them, and that's probably part of our strategy.

IPreferPi · Apr 13, 2015

On whether any of the Yotes centers in the pipeline are NHL-ready next year:

No. No, I don't see it. I mean, Christian Dvorak had a terrific year this year, he was a top scorer in the OHL. He just turned 19-years old. Now, can he come in and surprise us? Ryan MacInnis, we just signed him. Big, strong, center-iceman. Could he come in and wow us? We're not planning for it.

IPreferPi · Apr 13, 2015

On Shane Doan's on-ice role going forward, foresees a reduction of icetime to preserve his effectiveness:

Well, I think the idea that we have to have Shane drag this team along for the next 5 years - that's not going to happen. I think Shane can be a very valuable part of this team going forward. Front-of-the-net, on the PP, along the boards, he's one guy that shows up every night. It's just maybe he has to go from 19-20 minutes a game down to a little lower in your lineup. There's no question to me he can still play, but it's really up to us to bring better players who can take those minutes.

Well that does it, Chip is staying. ****

I thought Kyle Chipchura, of all the forwards for the last 40 games, was probably more consistent than anyone else we had, because he just played the game, played hard.

Maloney has a very long way to go before I can trust his word again.

If that happens I may be done before the year even starts. I'll probably switch to watching rangers games next year until maloney and tip are gone. No point until then.

cobra427 · Apr 14, 2015

He basically said they might trade down. I think Hanifin is the number 3 pick and the oilers want him. We could swap spots, they add...

Younger, hungrier, faster, what could possibly go wrong? He's a trustworthy guy.

Chip was not the problem. We are fine bringing him back next year. We just can't bring back all of Chip/Crombeen/Korpi/etc...One of them is fine. Maybe he was window dressing Chip for a trade

Totally we need an energy player who provides no energy. Go coyotes. yay.

Advanced stats be damned, Chip's play was as inept and listless as nearly every single other forward this season, but especially for an energy winger. And this has been going on for 2 seasons now. There are better options out there.

Chipchura doesn't stick up for his teammates when the situation calls for it. He sucks at everything and is the most worthless regular player in the league.

Nope. Go 2016 coyotes, no changes ever. Keep trying the same thing over and over again forever. Eventually it'll work.

How dare you. If we change anything.... you know what happens. It starts with Oil and ends with ers. All about sustaining mediocrity. WHOOOOOO!
