He meant term. 2-3 of those guys highlighted are getting 6+ years and 6+ million. Which is what I believe he was saying he won’t do for 29-30 players like that. As he indicated. I’m trying to just take the most literal meaning from his quotes because I think he’s pretty plain spoken.
If BA gets fired for not making the playoffs, Ryan/Chris are stupid and the team wont be worth following anyway.
BA wants to do this correctly. And if Smith can’t see that he’s a fool. The way he’s blowing this brand launch so badly, I’m starting to wonder.
The Coyotes were a painfully soft team of mental midgets who folded like cheap suits post all star break. I was disgusted for most of the 2nd half of the season with the lack of fire and pushback from this squad.
It's an entertainment franchise business. When we started this I don't think anyone was saying in year 5 we might make the playoffs.
The upcoming season will be year 4
Hayton seems to be the odd man out. Centers can always slide over to wing.
I mixed Robertson and schneider up. Yeah, they won't move Schneider. Trouba is interesting. 6 mill per year for two more years. 8 mill cap. I could see it. He is such a pain in the butt to play against.
I assumed Trouba had a NMC. He did. Until this year when it switched to a 15 team NMC. Utah is not on any NTCs until after the draft. We might be able to sneak that deal. Not sure how he’d feel about it. His wife is a physician in NYC if I recall correctly. Which is how the Trouba to Rangers trade went down.
Trouba forced the move to NYC because his wife was attending medical school there.
Wouldn't do this trade until July 2nd, and see where we are @ the cap and personnel!
You can't accuse AT of playing favourites.
