what's the issue with Crouse?
I mean I'm just playing the role of a couch scout and in the WJC I didn't see much other than a big body grinder.
His line single-handedly pinned Russia in their own end multiple times and changed the momentum of the game. He also has an excellent shot and great hands, so I don't see him being a grinder. Imo, his potential is a player like Rick Nash which would be huge for any team. Whether you take him over a guy like Zacha is debateable, but he definitely has legitimate potential. Anyone who has a significant impact on the world juniors as an underager deserves attention.
My guess is we finish with the 5th overall. Whether or not we pick 5th, 6th, or 1st is another matter.
5th seems a realistic projection of where we could finish, and even though I'm not part of the tank movement in the sense that I can't root for my team to lose, I do hope we don't drop out of the top 5 when all is said and done. After this season of pain, I'd like the comfort of a top five pick.
you know what. **** it, you cant wear 97 but i hear 17 is open again.
so sad this has come down to a team that is on par with tripe like the canes, sabres and oilers…… truly sad. ….and being what?…around 10 points behind the perennial joke of toronto.
…total ********.
sell sell sell…..
im finally onboard

The Coyotes are up 2-0 on WPG. If they hold on we'll be looking at
2) Carolina - 30
3) Buffalo - 31
4) AZ - 36
5) NJD - 37
It's not out of the realm of possibility that we could finish with the 3rd worst record, especially if we sell.

Finishing with the #3 pick would kind of annoy me more than finishing with the #10 pick tbh. It's like finishing fourth at the Olympics.
It's an awful spot to be because odds are we end up picking 4th overall and watch someone else (God forbid it's philly or Toronto) getting McDavid while the oilers get another forward to ruin forever in Eichel.
And Az has three games at hand.
The yotes nuke is going to change things and they will get worse. Canes are also not going to really get any better.
There is no reason to assume they fall past 3rd.
We also aren't going to go on any epic 4 game losing streaks again this year. To many guys have picked their play up enough to ensure we grab points and loser points to keep us from being as bad as real bottom of the league.
Like I said we finish 5th. Just behind Philly most likely who finishes 6th and I will ****ing riot if they win the lotto.
