Colby Armstrong said the same on Spittin chiclets this week. Said Cooley is looking insane out there in Pitt.
He could go back to 27 which he wore in the OHL and in his heroic team Canada performance as captain. I’m sure Teppo Numminen could not care less. Lol.
I have complained about our C situation like forever. I said our D was our weakest link last year and the way it looks BA has kind of addressed that with Sergachev and hopefully one of the kids jumping to the NHL in a year. BA is trying now with Inginla who hopefully can jump in year after next. This year the way it looks our C position will be a rinse and repeat.
Stop putting words in my mouth. Everyone knows trading for a 1C is almost impossible. I would love for Cooley to be our 1C. It would make a world of difference of where Bear can play the other C's
Probably just had some spinach, don't know why that hasn't caught on, after all these years!
That's what you said last year.
By saying "wasted" I meant that with a better C they would be better. I thought Schmaltz would be long gone because of his salary, but that is probably not a concern now. Still high though.
I think Schmaltz is worth every penny he's getting. Of course I do seem to be the voice of the unpopular.
$8.5mil. for a soft, one dimensional winger who is 87th. in scoring?I think Schmaltz is worth every penny he's getting. Of course I do seem to be the voice of the unpopular.
The Schmaltz cap hit is $5.85M, now that we're out of Coyote-land....we can start looking at cap hits vs actual dollars like nearly all teams do.
The cap hit is the average over the length of the contract. Every team still has a budget regardless of the cap hit, and that is why you see the $'s staggered. It's a balancing act. Right now Schmaltz cap hit is great, actual dollars are not. It's how every you want to look at it I guess.
Or is it the other way around?
Preferably to a 30 year old center with 1 year left to his contract? Thank god you are not the GM.
Unbelievable how people just want to dump the 23 yo without letting him prove his worth for next season.
Some people want to win, you wont. No problem.
This is shoot for the middle mentality. No interest in being a 1st round loser for some years and then starting over again. Do it right, stick to the plan. It’s the only way it works. Crazy to me the Coyotes fans, of all people, wouldn’t know this by now.
