Correction: Higher of the '17 3rd.

Love the creativity of this. Bolland's contract is ugly but whatever. Right-handed C who can play right now, assuming he isn't LTIR. hbk's head will explode at the acquisition of Crouse.

Fixed. Thanks.

I really liked Crouse that draft year..

Said WTF out loud.

Why the hell is Florida moving on from Crouse already?

Another Left Handed Left Winger, Just What We Need!!!

Don't know why old thread was deleted. But okay.

Don't have as high of hopes for Crouse as most. Bolland is the exact player I've been crying for all summer, except he's broken. I'm not at all attached to those draft picks. If Bolland can play, great. If not, Crouse for a couple of picks? Why not? The trade can't fail. Good job Chykpett.

Crouse is a skating fridge, ignore the handedness.

If Crouse doesn't make the roster this year, 2nd becomes a 3rd

Your guys' prospect list was already crazy. This just adds to it.

This is about where I'm at. Bolland is a fine bottom six center when he's healthy. We're probably looking at Dvorak starting the year in Tucson or just on the wing, then sliding into a center spot when Bolland and/or Hanzal gets hurt.

I was pretty down on Crouse leading into his draft, but he's a solid prospect. There's room on this team for some muscle.

Also, here's this detail:


From what I've seen of Crouse, he is definitely not ready for NHL time. So this should be two 3rds for an injury prone but solid righthanded center and a recent lottery pick.

I really like what Chayka is doing, and I love how mad it gets some people on the trade board.

Your so right.

Mouser! We need you now!

Is Bolland going to play? If he doesn't, does insurance pick up the contract cost? Is Crouse AHL eligible?

I hated the idea of burning a top five pick on him but at the price of two 3rds he's a great add

I wonder why they went after Crouse? Not that I'm complaining, could be a chip to flip for something else? Bolland is just dead weight to get Crouse, who may be able to slot in and out of the line up. (Bolland)

I like what Chyka is doing. The prospect pool is getting deeper.

Bolland, if he stays healthy, is just a Gordon replacement.

If he's not healthy and the Coyotes can park him while not paying out any cash due to insurance, this trade is a massive win.

Love love Crouse. Needs to stop cutting across ice with his head down. You can't deny this was a great move. Crouse is a linebacker on skates. He hits to hurt. Love his play.

I don't believe Crouse is AHL-eligible (he's 19 until June, drafted from the CHL and has only completed 3 CHL seasons), but Bolland is definitely a LTIR candidate.

EDIT: LTIR cap savings would only happen if the Coyotes ended up over the cap, which seems unlikely despite only 2.34 million in space at the moment.

Maybe Crouse will be of some appeal to WPG in a potential Trouba deal?

Unless they pay nothing for Bolland, I doubt the money is there to sign Trouba.

 

[Flyotes]

This is a good way to start the day.

Is Chayka aware of Bollands contract? Yikes. Probably didnt show up in the fancy stats.
