Speculation: Coyotes 2021 Offseason Roster Discussion Thread #2

[XX]

So Nate Schmidt wants to be here?

He only has 10 team NTC. So it's probably more fair to say he wouldn't mind living and playing in AZ if it came down to it.

AZ isn't a buyout threat being cash poor and pretty much every player will like Scottsdale.

 

[GhostofYotesFan47]

Would our 2nd this year plus next year's 3rd land us Dumba?

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Strange. When was the last time we were desperate for D? If I were BA I would a couple of serious talent evaluators in Russia to try to capture some (Tampa Bay) lightening in a bottle.

 

[Jormungandr]

I’m half expecting to acquire Vince Dunn this offseason.

That would be nice.

We’re gonna need some D-men that’s for sure. Can’t have Bush higher than 3rd pairing ideally.

He’d help the PP and be a nice 3rd pair LHD.

I think he lands in Seattle

On this team he’s a 2LD not a 3LD. And I suspect he’s better than whoever we do end up getting to fill that 2LD slot (assuming we are able to move OEL).

Maybe something around him, OEL and Tarasenko?

We’d have to add Kessel at 50% at least. And then probably also add something pretty decent on top of that.

 

[rt]

I’d be fine if OEL was the only major Coyotes trade of this off-season.

We aren’t going to get 25 goals for 850k anywhere else outside of Kessel and I don’t have the same cultural/character concerns many of you do about Phil. I’m fine with dealing him at the deadline instead of the off-season.

I think the trade market for Kuemper is probably pretty tepid. I’m okay with the deadline for him, too. I really don’t think we’re leaving much, if anything, on the table.

It would be nice if Tourigny’s first season wasn’t a complete disaster right from the start. Kuemper and Kessel help keep it more competitive, I think.

I want Keller, Dvorak, Schmaltz, Crouse, etc to get a fresh start with a new coach. What’s the point of evaluating them another year if the team is just getting boat-raced every night?

I’m cool with just ditching OEL for dumps, crossing our fingers in the expansion draft, and trying to plug as many holes as we can with UFAs. Make sure the UFAs are hard working, high character types with good leadership ability that play a direct, forceful style of hockey.

Let’s take another year, sans Tocchet, and see what exactly we have here. Obviously sell at the deadline and try to get a good bingo ball at lottery, but until then, let’s give Tourigny and the “young core” at least a fighting chance to establish good habits and improve.

Quick Poll:

In this hypothetical situation, you know that the ONLY trade offer you will receive for OEL at any point this off-season is Milan Lucic for OEL, straight-up. Do you do it?

YES or NO

Me? I’m doing it.

Yup. No doubt.

No way!I rather keep OEL

Good thing that is not the only offer.
I'd keep OEL, but take the C away.

Easy yes. Flip Lucic 50% retained somewhere. Be done with it.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

It’s so awkward to take the C away and still keep the player. I’ll never get how LA managed it with brown and he somehow had a resurgence

 

[rt]

4-2 Yes so far.

 

[Mangosteen]

No way. Don’t want OEL here but Lucic would be an insult to OEL and the franchise.

Perfect trade for OEL would be to Philly for JVR. OEL and Kessel (50 percent retained for Kessel) for JVR and a 2nd.

 

[Baby Doaner]

I’d do it. We need more grit.

Would be more like OEL and Phil(50%) for JvR and Ghost.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

I would not, we need a defenseman back, even if it’s not a very good one

 

[rt]

5-4 yes

 

[Grimes]

I would like to see a pick or Dune coming back but ultimately yes
