Speculation: Trade Deadline: March 8, 2024

[lanky]

Teams have sat players out for years for expected trades, the Coyotes had a bad look for sitting Chycrun out for 8 games and almost 3 weeks. That's excessive

Meh

 

[Jakey53]

So as not to decimate Tucson after the deadline.

After TTD I want to see players called up from Tucson to evaluate what we have. There are so many RFA's so I would hope BA would like to see at least two at one time. Is Soderstrom in our plans? What about Jenik? And there are more.

Meh

Just adding perspective to a poor comparison

Well they were trying to hide the issue that he was injured

Yeah like trading team would never require medical records and/or an actual medical. That's an even worse look.

Nagging injuries that make him look worse are easier to hide.

Again if Bill was hiding injuries to a player that he's trying to trade that is about as bad of a rep that a GM could get. The fact is Bill held out an often injured player and couldn't make a deal as fast as he anticipated. It wasn't revolutionary as suggested earlier but was actually a bad look for the Coyotes. But I do understand why he didn't want Chycrun playing as risk of injury was high.

he sat him out so it didn’t get worse. Hes a horrible human being. Great take. The return was awesome. Danny Goals ranked as 31st best prospect in nhl and we flipped a second for Durzi who arguably has been as good or better than Chychrun this year.

Why would Zucker get more than Mantha?

Zucker for a 2nd and 50% retention would be slightly less than what Vegas paid for Mantha.

I misunderstood what he meant by more than “that”. He meant my proposal but I thought he meant Mantha.

Maybe we add the 4th to Zucker at 50% to get the 2nd?

I'll take things no one has said for $100 please Alex. Keep switching the storyline though?? Believe it or not Bill isn't perfect and can't walk on water.

No buzz around Stecher. He's our most effective UFA. He plays RD, which most teams need. Is the lack of buzz because teams want heavy D at this time of year?

I’m fine with bringing him back as our 6/7D.

We need players with heart, guts and balls. Give me a shot blocking machine like Mario Ferraro. Give me a Mack Truck with bad brakes like Tanner Jeannot. Give me an absolute snap case hot head like Sam Bennett. Give me an axe murderer like Ryan Lindgren. Give me a meathead that just grinds other teams down like Jake Middleton.

There are solutions to our problems out there that can be had if we play our cards right. We need to play our cards right. We need to change this culture.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

I’m not 100% sure whether “Defected Players” even count towards the 90 player Reserve List limit. Not aware of any past situation which would provide empirical evidence of whether the NHL counts or excludes them.

Cool. I was just going by CapFriendly. In my meager understanding, 49 contracts - 2 slide candidates + 31 on the reserve list = 78, which is the same number CF showed.

Not going to happen.

Tucson is pushing for a high playoff spot and they don’t have anyone they can easily replace. Bringing Gunther up has already affected them in a bad way.

Lack of buzz? Maybe it's because they aren't very good. They look good on our team because they all are surrounded by the same level talent.

IF BA is not sure if he wants to keep a player or not, that player will be brought up. You are not going to see a Doan or a Raty, but they have to decide on Soderstrom, McCartney, Jenik etc. Let's see who we move at TTD.

 

[Mosby]

A 3rd and a 4th for Tarasenko at max retention. Potentially two 3rds if Florida wins the Cup.

Zucker sucks so it will be impressive if we can get a third at this rate.

 

[Mosby]

Baseline for Friday needs to be Dumba and Zucker moved out. Minimum two 3rd round picks or equivalent value coming back. It would also be disadvantageous if we still have any of our two open retention spots still available after the deadline passes. The above two mentioned players may burn up those slots. Anything else returned or moved out is gravy.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Stupid Ottawa flinched and now we have to pay the price...Zucker isn't going to get a 2nd now...not that I thought he was ever going to get one. But certainly not now.

 

[Mosby]

Seems the only place Tarasenko was willing to go was Florida (he has a no-move clause). Limited the market and return.

Yup, that full NTC for Tarasenko definitely hurt the trade return.

[The Feckless Puck]

I love Bjugstad and wish he'd stick around, but if we could get a 1st for him that would be a hard deal to pass on.

 

[Mosby]

Yes, you take that deal.
