Speculation: 2021-2022 Coyotes Roster Discussion

That Ottawa 2nd would be a pretty nice asset.

Add in a Brannstrom and i think AZ might consider this.

That pick is going to be like 36th overall. BA might get his 20th ranked kid there. If they’re willing to take back Hutton and swap the Schmaltz and White contracts, I’d do it for just that pick.

I’d squeeze them because you can. But you may be right. Im also buying out Murray for $10M. That contract is awful. Cap hit is less than $.

It's still early but if none of the Islanders, Canucks, Flyers, or Sharks turn things around, those 2nds we currently have will also end up being very nice assets. Even if we miss out on the Montreal pick and are stuck with Carolina, almost all of our 2nds could end up in the first half of the 2nd round which is where they stand now. I didn't picture that being the case over the summer.

It's not even December yet, still plenty of hockey. But yep, if things stay the same the 2nds get a whole lot better and the 2st get a whole lot worst. We have ammo and cap space to move up though. If Montreal ends bottom ten I still forsee us getting back to the middle of the 1st somehow.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

I’d take Murray with assets attached. I think he’s a headcase after winning those two cups and being signed to the big contract in Ottawa. Could help him having a lower profile here. Plus he could easily be bought out if needed.

Maybe Schwab is all he needs.

We also seem to take marginal at best goalies and turn them into something special. I'd like to take a chance on Murray at least for the rest of this season, I don't think he'll win us many games and if we want to buy him out after this year the buyout isn't bad.

I think we could remake Murray. At least have a chance. We need a goalie after this year anyway to bridge to Prosvetov. Crazy that just a few years ago Murray was seen as the best goalie for team Canada.

For those of you not looking to click on the link.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Vejmelka is waivers exempt right? So if we acquire Murray and send Vej down, and then I guess waive/trade/nudge into retirement Hutton then we can run a tandem of Murray and wedgewood the rest of the season.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Might win TOO many games.

 

[Mosby]

Send a goalie back to Ottawa.

Thoughts on Schmaltz and Wedgwood for Murray?

I like it just to shorten the term from Schmaltz to Murray.

This is the perfect scenario we get out of that contract without having to pay someone to take it. I’d do this without question

 

[Matias Maccete]

Man I totally forgot how long Schmaltz's contract is, yikes. A swap with hutton for murray and their 2nd would be a huge win, doubt we get the 2nd though. 3rd is probably still worth it. Just about every player but Schmaltz rebounded and has looked good. Maybe he still turns it around but it seems unlikely. We do also seem to be able to rebuild goalies so worth a shot.

Schmaltz is a usable center or winger. Murray isn't usable to most teams, especially at his cap hit. If such a swap were to happen then I'd expect an asset from Ottawa.
