I agree. He is still young, and the way it looks the Coyotes are being patient with him.

Friendly visit from Switzerland here. How has Moser looked so far this season? Looking at his simple stats it looks quite promosing for a rookie but I have not seen too many Coyotes games and would be grateful for some more insights form you guys.
How has this season been?
What are the plans for him going forward?
What is his realistic ceiling?
Thanks in advance

Moser has shocked most of us with his play this year. He's very composed on the ice and I think playing with Stralman the whole time has really been a big help to him. You can see the difference a steady pro defenseman makes with a young one comparing Chychrun's play from last year to this year.
If you believe what Craig Morgan says, the organization sees him as untouchable because they know they have something special in him.

He has been fantastic. Looks like a vet out there. Doesn't seem to get frazzled, is always calm and still manages to produce offensively. I'm sure having one of our few vets as a partner has helped but he has still been a revelation.
I see him as a top 4 dman on any team that can handle heavy minutes and play any role the coach needs him too. Can PK and PP. As long as he stays healthy and manages to keep this calm style of play he should be a great asset. Not someone you build a blueline around but he could quietly become a very very good defender.
Reminds me of a poor man's Lindhn
When we talk about building a culture, it's about not having assholes like Mike Smith in the locker room.
In his own head, Mike Smith would be Georges Vezina if not for his teammates.
I can't imagine he is saying things like "Hey bud, Point is one of the top guys so I can't imagine how hard it is to defend him, but you have to be more aware of open lanes to him" to those teammates either hahaha.
It's hilarious Smith thinks he can say shit when he's a rocking an .891 and 3.65.

He’s always been that way. One guy I was very glad to see go. And yet, he gave us our only good season ever. Conflicted.
I hope we draft Lian Bichsel...

^^although, do you get the sense - because I'm starting to get it - that Keller is really starting to believe he's That Good? 2-time all-star, shot at having only Tkachuk scoring more goals over 1 season for us?

Not sure. I haven't watched this season. I don't think anything that happens when they are tanking hard has a lot of significance (which is why I think writing off Chychrun is insane). Sure it's great that he's improving but I'll check back when they play a game that means something. I will say this about Keller though. He's more likely to be a late bloomer simply because his body needed to mature more than most. He's looked sixteen for his whole career, not just in his face but his body as well. Smaller players have a better shot these days than the past but he still needed to get a lot stronger. Playing on teams that got pushed around with very little protecting prior to this year didn't help either.
Seems it could be a busy next 4 weeks.
Chychrun, Larsson, Boyd, Kessel.
Don't think anyone else moves beyond those four, and even Larsson is iffy with his injury.
Likely looking at a haul for Chychrun and 3 or 4 picks for the other guys. Like a second, a third, and two fifths.

We should add a bunch of dumps, too. We offloaded a bunch of contracts for a reason. We don’t have to he retention slots to play middle-man in that way, but we can warehouse dumps to facilitate trades where retention isn’t the solution.
No, not even close. This is like Schmaltz all over again. People are enamored with the contract or specifically in this case, his pedigree. If he were a 2nd round draft pick you'd be ecstatic with him. Look at his developmental path and it's evident he's faced a much harder path than most prospects and he's still doing just fine. He was in that in-between land where he's too good for the CHL, but cannot play in the AHL. He had injuries. He's playing center on a team that never has legit centers. Your expectations are ridiculous frankly. He's going to be a part of the team unless he's thrown in to balance a trade, but it's not like he's being sent out to the pasture. Maybe take a second to think up something other than points on the scoreboard to judge a player by before you castigate the guy.

Let’s trade Chychrun for Lafreniere and stick him on Hayton’s line!

The very notion anyone could even suggest he’s a bust is ludicrous.

A top 5 pick should amount to more than a 3rd line center who will probably peak at around 35-40 points. In a redraft, Hayton probably doesn't go in the top 20....It's really not ludicrous, it's a fair question to ask.

It’s too early to say he’s a disappointment, munch less a bust.
