No sugar coating for this loss. Reminded me of last 2 games in their playoff series against the Avs.
Is "couple years" written in the context of 2 more weeks?? There is a lot of rebuilding neededI figured it's a good time to remind us of this public service announcement....
Infrastructure updates are in progress that are degrading on-ice performance. We expect this work to be completed within the next couple years. This affects the Arizona Coyotes entire organization and fanbase. This is a separate issue from the NHL Draft Lottery negative bias.
Update 11/14/2021....If you are struggling during these updates, please reach out to your employers HR department to see if they offer the counseling program "Coping with the Coyotes"

Not hard to put a competitive team on the ice if you try. BA intentionally didn't try. And regarding FAs, if the draft goes as well as we hope next year then FAs will see what's happening and some will want to come.

Shane Wright is playing in the NHL next season no matter what. So if you win the lottery you better pick someone else or trade the pick.i hope we don’t see a single player we draft next year on this team right away.
Yes, this includes Wright
What happened??
So much for that…
I'll get back to you in a couple of weeks with an answer.Is "couple years" written in the context of 2 more weeks?? There is a lot of rebuilding needed
If Jaskin was on the Blackhawks I'd bet there would supplemtal discipline. What a joke.Ok, but he could have tried to avoid the knee on knee. He was attempting to hit Jaskin, not the other way around.
The draft doesn't mean squat to the players. It's all about $$, the organization and the on ice product. We can give them $$ and that's about it. Maybe if the draft goes good and we start winning, then players and agents will start to give us a look.Not hard to put a competitive team on the ice if you try. BA intentionally didn't try.

This season is like a bad nightmare. You will remember it for life.I hope and believe that once this crap season is over it will be easy to put it behind us. The offseason along with the draft should be pretty damn exciting. We haven't gotten to the actual 'building' part of the rebuild.yet.
Fingers crossed!
Signing a UFA is about money, you pay the most you sign them, you don't pay the most, they sign elsewhere. I doubt next year that we pay big money for a name brand UFA, it's too early. I think it will be more filler type players.The draft doesn't mean squat to the players. It's all about $$, the organization and the on ice product. We can give them $$ and that's about it.

If we have a cup contender 3 years from now it will be worth it and a distant memory. If we're still, you know, the Coyotes, it will just be another in a long history of getting kicked in the nuts.This season is like a bad nightmare. You will remember it for life.

We will not have a cup contender in three years, no way. A playoff contender maybe. This team has Chych and Keller to build on as the team sits today. Most the players we draft this year still won't be in the NHL in three years.If we have a cup contender 3 years from now it will be worth it and a distant memory.

It took me seventeen cotton balls to remove my stubborn nail polish. That will probably be more than the number of shots on goal we get this game.
Any UFA worth their salt looks at more than money, most times, but any over the hill UFA looks at the $$$, and that's who we attract at the moment. I agree, we will sign more filler type players.Signing a UFA is about money, you pay the most you sign them, you don't pay the most, they sign elsewhere.
