That’s what I’m talking about! We do so many that I even forgot one!Ladd I think was a different deal he actually did play here and was okayish(emphasis on ish)
But you did leave out Hossa
It’s an expression. I use that term to encompass the return on the combined efforts they have done in this regard. Not just this single solitary transaction.
I’ve liked him. I’ve given up on him being a 1st pairing type, but if he can turn into a Moser-like reliable top 4 guy I think that’s a solid pick. Not caufield, obviously, but good teams need guys like that
Its a complete rebuild. Lots of entry level contracts until the new arena is built. When they add more revenues the budget will grow with it. BA has been extremely vocal for years on the plan . This is not news. Did u think they were going to spend to the cap ceiling while playing in the Mullet?
He wasn’t that noticeable his first game up but was the last one. I can attribute that to getting used to the speed level.
no, I really dont know much, at this point, about the money game. But I know about managing risk. This plan blows up - it seems to me - if there is no new stadium - which of ciurse is up to the voters; this in turn casts a completely different light over all the Glendale crap. That is, how long has this ( Tempe) been the plan? Was it chaos or concealment, or something else?
The $2Billion entertainment district? Brand new. Just came up with it last week. Google is your friend.
U seem surprised that a team rebuilding that plans running with a large number of players on entry level deals would have trouble then with hitting the cap floor. These cap hit pickups allow for BA to implement his plan the way he wants to without having to worry about adding expensive roster players who don’t fit the plan.

no, I understand that approach. Makes sense. What I am thinking about is the apparency that the new stadium approval ( or not) in Tempe and the timing thereof are both very critical to BA’s plan ( as it appears to me), and that is a lot of moving parts = risk. I guess the problems that caused the team to leave Glendale were a curveball. Or maybe not ?Draft, develop, repeat: How the Coyotes plan to become contenders

Glendale attempted to sabotage the Tempe arena by kicking them out hoping that this would force them to leave the State because of the lack of a venue. Glendale didn’t want the competition for concerts/events and were only willing to sign a 15 year lease with AZ (so they didn’t really kick then out they tried to play hardball and now they run a glorified halloween spirit). Coyotes forced to pivot to Mullet while they await approval of their $2Billion entertainment district. This is old news to Coyote fans. Well documented both in podcast and in writing by PHNX.
