Can't be too mad. He'll probably end up being the first line center on what seems to be a great Tucson team.

 

[SniperHF]

Any chance this is a mostly paper situation and he's back up when Stone is healthy?

Yep. Nothing to be gained from him playing in a tire fire here in Phoenix while he could be leading the Runners to a playoff spot (knock on wood).

 

[Muppet]

Top line minutes in Tucson and he escapes the cesspit of the Coyotes. It's all good.

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

Yup, if he's not gonna get the minutes best to go down.

I understand the sentiment but still disagree with it. There's no reasonable evaluation here in less than 10 games where virtually the entire team is a dumpster fire.

 

[mouser]

Easy enough to move him back and forth as needed. So much nicer not to have to take a cross-country flight to get to the AHL team.

 

[lanky]

Good move. Let's see him tear up the A.

 

[Plub]

Played great in the NHL until he was demoted for his age. A chance at making our team better lost. I'd much rather him in the AHL than getting screwed over by DT in the NHL.

 

[Sinurgy]

This is where most wanted him to begin with, hopefully he goes down there and lights it up.

Ice time is definitely reasonable.

Perhaps this leads to more games for Strome as well.... perhaps.

And if Strome doesn't cut it, you swap him with Dvo. Simple.

 

[Grimes]

This is great. Got exposure to the NHL. Knows what the grind of a long roadtrip feels like. Will most likely be back when the injuries hit and will be a better player when he is brought back. Also allows a spot for Strome. Win-win.

Or, got exposure to the NHL, played quite well and was rewarded by demotion and cut in minutes. Now he's confused about what he did wrong and how players earn their ice time.

I want him in the AHL to get him away from the coach. He's already good enough for the NHL.

That's just it..... you can't. Strome can't go to AHL. They could see this as the best solution.

Just a thought.

There could be confusion, but I seriously doubt it.

I would hope they give him a clearcut exit interview explaining why they made the decision and what he should work on in the AHL. I didn't feel like he knocked the doors down like Domi and Duclair did last season and he is the same age as they were then. I really feel like he will develop better in Tucson, and agree with you that being away from DT and this mess will be better.

It's not so much protecting him from the tire fire as it is that Dvorak is AHL-eligible. Strome and Crouse aren't. This gives Strome and Crouse a more intense tryout for their final games before the junior limit kicks in; if one or both gets sent back, Dvorak comes back. Pretty simple.

This is exactly what I was thinking as well.

Given the various puff pieces about how they are handling Strome I kinda doubt that's a factor. Unless they have already changed their strategy anyway.

No idea about Crouse but since they have taken a pretty hard line on Dvorak and Strome staying at C I don't know that his tryout matters.

He's a human being, not a golden retriever.

But he wants to be a Coyote

Sam Reinhart last year got 6 points in his first 20 games. If he was in AZ he would have been send down at game six. But BUF knew he needed to develop and learn how to think the NHL game and low and behold by the end of the year he was a top player for them
