UFA in a year. And Yotes are entering a semi rebuild.
@rt is one of the fairer talent evaluators on the board.
I assume the idea is to take a flier on Jarry given his age and move Blueger into a top nine C role.
You nailed it. Want to expand Blueger’s role and see if Jarry can flourish in the safe little no media incubator that is Arizona. Plus, we can expose him and I don’t think Seattle will claim.
As for Fischer, I personally am a bit fed up with him. I see him as Ferdinand the Bull. Many other Coyotes fans love him. They see him as a cycle buster defensively and a solid possession player. They see a guy who, like many, got put through the ringer by the horrifically bad head coaching of Rick Tocchet. Me? I’ve run out of patience.
Having said that, he was great for the first bit of the season. He was on a line with John Hayden who was playing for his life. Hayden was his main competition for a roster spot and Fischer really rose to the challenge and did his best to match the pace. As soon as Tocchet stupidly started scratching Hayden, Fischer (in my opinion) let offf the gas and eased into the groove.
Now I’ve seen what he can do when motivated though. Makes me wonder what he could do on a team that isn’t dogshit with an idiot for s head coach. Maybe he’s good again. He has been at various times in his nhl career. Flip a coin.
