Totally! Getting Armia would not only help 4th line lineand pk, but also his play could very well make it easier to part ways with Simmer. Missed opportunity.
Agreed, but hexy wanted no part of him and once he makes up his mind he's not gonna budge. Has he even once publicly changed his opinion?
Hextall has been notorious for not letting anything leak. The only move he made that anyone felt confident ahead of time was probable was when he signed Elliott. Weise to an extent, people knew he made a visit here and no one reported on him visiting anywhere else. Trades involving Coburn, Timonen, and Schenn came from out of the clouds.
I, for one, am also mad on this website, because every team in the NHL is watching the off-season pass them by
Yup Armia is a good get but they got him and a fourth and a seventh to Eat Mason's contract , then bought out . Cap problems are a thing and that is why you just don't go out and overpay on the free agent market for term , it can come back and bite ya . Winnipeg now has a good team but this cap problem will now be theirs for years to come .
Makes signing Simmonds a real possibility. He’d likely be very productive for 4 of house years.
Coyotes also haven't had a 30-goal scorer in 6 years, so must be desperate and willing to pay.
Still don’t want him blocking a prospect with his extension. He won’t be easy to move at a big salary if his play drops even a little.
The Tavares thread on the Isles forum is a good read. Someone already broke out the Mickey Mantle scene from Bronx Tale in there.
