GDT: WCQF Game 5: Coyotes @ Avalanche | 2:30 PM | FSAZ | 8/19

[Name Nameless]

Well, I was looking for some nice "last words" to round out this season.

I think I will steal the one from Surgeon Joseph Henry Green, who -according to the site I found- was checking his own pulse as he lay dying. His last word: “Stopped.”

Hey I did some digging.

Players by salary cap hit (Avs in bold):

Rantanen - 9.25m
OEL - 8.25
Keller - 7.15 (when extension kicks in)
Kessel - 6.8
Stepan - 6.5
MacK - 6.3
Erik Johnson - 6
Schmaltz - 5.85
Landeskog - 5.571
Goligoski - 5.475
Hammer - 5
Soda - 4.75
Chychrun - 4.6
Kadri - 4.5
DVo 4.45

Overpayment after overpayment. It isn't JUST the coaching guys

I blame @Summer Rose for not doing the GDT

Cannot believe I’m hearing Pierre McGuire suck Tocchet’s dick right now. Saying it’s not his fault and he can help Arizona long term. And he’s impressed with how Tocchet has “handled” this series.

 

[rt]

I’m really not even mad at Tocchet and his staff. He’s a good assistant coach and we found out he’s a bad head coach and that includes not being qualified to choose his own staff. It’s not his fault. But it’s just so clear he needs to go. And the fact that the media pretends it’s not true is driving me insane.

It’s Pierre McGuire

It's like a plot to keep 3 good ol boys employed at the country club.

I come back and find us down 6-0 on pace to give up 40'something shots. So I didn't miss anything?

I get why you saying that, but you can't just send guys down when you feel like it. There are waiver rules.

You think someone is going to pick up half of these guys without salary going back? Not a chance.

 

[XX]

hah they used the Avs goal horn at first

 

[_Del_]

Well, at least they don't have any cap space, either. Awesome.

At least we have our first! No, wait...

 

[Grimes]

That's 2022. Unless you want to suck for that much longer haha.

Only two seasons. 1.5 really assuming next season is shortened

This is fair but keep in mind these contracts were signed at different times when the cap was at different levels. Obviously Mac is a steal.

Force of habit?

 

[Mosby]

Only two seasons.

He's McDavid tier in my mind but we're not near that bad. Teams like Detroit are going to beyond bad for the next few years.

 

[Prestigeworldwide]

I just want someone to make a big hit and win a fight. Give us something to cheer for.

Rantonan and Keller signed in the same month.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

As far as the captaincy thing is there someone on the roster you'd give the C to instead? Genuinely curious.

There isn't anyone on this team I'd give it to really.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Is Hayton a better player now than he was in October?

 

[XX]

I will have a lot of free time in the next year or so if they stick with Tocchet after this

Is Hayton a better player now than he was in October?

Might have been if he had more than 22 games in 10 months or whatever it was.

Tocchet.

I’m about 90% sure he will be back next season. Which is horrifying given the slew of excellent NHL head coaches who have been fired over the last couple of seasons.

He was a joke in Tampa. He was a cheerleader in Pittsburgh. It's maddening that charisma has taken him this far, and the bar is so low in AZ.

 

[Mosby]

Hopefully the new crew has no connections to AZ. So rule out candidates like Sean Burke.
