I'm ready to be disappointed.

 

[_Del_]

Neal, JVR, or Perron would make me very happy. I could reach "content" even with a few good 10-15 goal guys. We'll see how it shakes out.

 

[XX]

Personally more interested in the trades they'll make to clear up the mightly logjam they've got going. I still feel the Coyotes are a darkhorse candidate for post July 1 ROR.

 

[_Del_]

They should definitely be working the phones re: ROR.

Can you imagine an offseason that resigns OEL, Hjarmarlsson, and adds Galchenyuk, JVR, and ROR? That'd be ginormous.

Who goes the other way?

Top 5 Protected 1st
Strome or Dvo
Couple prospects

I'm cool with that. Strome over Dvo, though as far as who I'd like to give up.

 

[SR]

I'll refrain from saying anything else, but man I hope they can get that JVR deal done.

Ah no refraining!

 

[BigJCaRoach]

I don’t want Perron

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Let's face it, any of those aforementioned UFAs are an upgrade over who they would replace. I won't be picky.

 

[SR]

I genuinely believe JVR is a Coyotes come this time tomorrow.

This is the kind of positivity I like to hear!

Coyotedropings?

 

[doaner]

Do more JVR.

 

[Plub]

And the disappointment starts early. We are out of the running.

How do you feel now?

 

[Alberta Yote]

Ready for more MEH

 

[SR]

How do you feel now?

Ha. deflated to be honest. Yesterdays talks were damn near both agreed on. But I know our max was likely 6M, wonder what Philly's offer is.

 

[Vip]

JVR would've been legit. So he's going back to philly? He started his career there right? It's been a minute.

 

[Jamieh]

Plenty of talk for a month now that he wanted to be closer to home so Philly makes sense.

 

[Foggy1097]

Maybe this makes Simmonds a little more expendable and we can make a deal for him...definitely disappointing but there are still quality guys available via trade. Skinner should be our top priority now but he has control with the full NMC...

 

[Jormungandr]

Ugh. Really don’t want Grabner. He’s the poster boy for an inconsistent career. I now prefer we strike out in free agency and go the trade route for this winger we’re supposed to bring in.

 

[moosemeister]

I’m not too upset. Getting JVR would’ve been nice.

But we should see an OEL and Hammer extension. We got Chucky. The off season has been solid so far.

Just a classic case of being outbid during UFA. Which tells me he either got more term or money (or both) than we were willing to offer. It happens.
