Then you can add cap dumps like Nemeth and Kassian into the equation as well...

Just try to visualize the team they plan on trotting out there next season. Way to go Uncle Gary!

Is it better to have one team (Yotes) be the dumping ground for GM mistakes, or have more of the league be uncompetitive because they can't get out of their cap blunders?
I assume that as the GM of a team at the top end of town, a guy like Drury is quite glad he knows their are teams like Arizona that work as a safety valve for when he needs to dump the next M Staal type contract

Arizona is the NHL's version of Valhalla. Bad contracts go there to die. The league should make a new rule that getting traded to Arizona heals all injuries. What a team they'd have then!

Absolutely wild stuff with the Coyotes. f***ing joke franchise.
I don't have a problem with revenue sharing and other aspects of both the revenue split and the cap itself. I have a problem with the NHL allowing a team like the Coyotes to be an embarrassment to the league, but the Rangers can't get an emergency call up to dress 6 D for a game.
If anything needs to go, its LTIR for career ending players. They should have an insurance in place that can pay out the players contract without having to have this silliness every season and they just retire. If you want to get to the cap floor, you actually have to go get players that play. That would create better parity too, cause then the Coyotes would be getting players that can actually play the game and make them more competitive. Someone like Hornqvist would have been an obvious one.

Our skill coaches are jokes. Its like Ryan Hollwegg and Brandon Prust..
If i was a skilled player why would i listen to those 4th line bums? They had no skill, they made it on will and energy.
Why cant we bring in a guy like Messier or let Graves or any actual player that had skill to teach.

I'm beginning to wonder if this guy is unironically a problem.

The vast majority of MLB hitting coaches couldn't hit pro pitching with a telephone pole.
It's more important to be a good coach.

"Now when you're alone in the slot, look for someone down low with a worse angle. If no one's available, close your eyes and imagine where the jersey logo is and let her rip!"
Its Mark Ciaccio, but don't know who that is so it probably kind of proves your point.
I don't think there's too many ex-NHLers lining up to be skills coach though

There are enough skilled hockey players that didn't make it for whatever reason that have much more to offer than this guy that I watch on YouTube and Instagram. Many of them have great hands, great shots, know the mechanics of puck control and deception, etc.. The old boys club has to end eventually.
It is, but sometimes it takes longer than maybe we would like.

Sather 4 Ever
Dude has been in his position since 2013, Sather brought him in to do a skating session with 3 players and somehow that turned into him being the team's skills coach for a decade.
Obviously we don't know anything about this guy and how he coaches and the players seem to like him, but man, it's noticeable how many of our players are lacking in basic skill areas from time to time. Lots of flubbing received passes, losing pucks while stickhandling, passes made into recipient's skates, etc. Idk just makes you think maybe the organization would notice this and address it.

Mark Ciaccio was considered too small to play hockey beyond Suffern High School, but he found his way to the NHL as a skills coach.

Ridiculous decision on the emergency callup. I hope Drury makes full use of LTIR next season and signs Kane and Tarasenko.

"Patrick do you have any pointers for me? I'm not really sure what I'm doing"
I'd love to be a fly on the wall with this guy trying to coach Patrick Kane's skill. Patrick Kane is probably one of the most skilled players in the history of the league, may be the best stick handler we've ever seen to be honest.

He's only played 13 games this season but he has missed significant time with injuries, so it's not all healthy scratches. Elliotte Friedman said he heard from someone else that they were surprised he wasn't traded to Nashville for Niederreiter.

I mean, players practice and draw up certain stick movements with the puck. Certainly as a skills coach you can develop some theories on the geometry of a play even if you can't execute them yourself.
It's why I sometimes refer to Adam Fox as a billiards player on skates. All about the angles. One of the moves he uses at the blue-line, where when he's under pressure he bounces the puck up about 2 feet off the boards, dodges left, then recoups the puck once the pressure is past him and wrong-footed, you don't think he practices that motion constantly?
So much of the modern NHL is threading needles and throwing the ball through moving hoops, if you will.

Arizona is where GM's send all their mistakes. Like the NHL's get out of jail free card.

Go for it. Dolan might use his software to upgrade your seats the next time you’re at MSG.
