Have a feeling he's going to be a shithead and refuse with Tocchet gone. I think they're stuck with him. Time to take away the C.
Agreed. The last thing Ollie wants is to get moved somewhere where there are actual expectations of him

Could totally see that happening.

Anyone remember when yesterday everyone was telling me I was on drugs and I needed to stop hyperventilating about LOL being worthless? You guys better hope no professional scouts saw the last two games. Haha.

It has been that way the entire year in his own zone. People just take a few years to update their mental image of a player. He wasn't good last year either.

My ire will be 100% on BA if Tocchet is still coach come tomorrow afternoon.

If B.A was looking to trade OEL when he first came in, he's sure as shit going to get rid of him now. These last two performances are completely unacceptable for somebody making 8mil a season.

The problem is that OEL has a clause that allows him to tell BA to buy him out or f*** off. The time to move him was the moment he agreed to waive.

I’ve been there since March 16th. I just can’t believe Tocchet survived March 17th. It was absolutely unacceptable.

It's either BA is a coward or it's a problem with Meruelo. Neither is good for the future of the organization.

OEL now -21 and hasn’t been facing opponent first lines the 2nd half of the season. Chychrun -2, Goose +5.

In this case +/- stat is telling.

Hopefully the last two games have shaken Meruelo loose on allowing BA full latitude on RT.

Remember after the Chayka fiasco, RT was there for AM. He or XG mentioned how much they appreciated “Coach Toc” a bazillion times. They see a guy who stuck around and beat Nashville in the bubble after Chayka abandoned them. They see a hockey legend who they can trust. A guy who was there for them and is supremely well-connected, and helped them navigate the post-Chayka chaos.

BA is brand-new and has a lot to prove to these guys. After what happened with Chayka, I think they’ll have a hard time trusting fully for a while. Especially without results. It’s entirely possible when he broached the subject of making a coaching change, they looked at BA like he had two heads. They might think RT is the best asset in the entire organization. A keep at all costs piece.

Maybe we could trade him for Yandle and some assets. At least Yandle is a great interview and Florida is desperate to get rid of him. OEL should like Florida and it's a shorter flight home right?

The way he’s played the Coyotes would probably need to take on the Bob contract to get rid of OEL...okay maybe not that bad...but would take a really and or multiple bad contracts to move him.
