According to Samantha Pell it's just an insurance move since the next two games are a doubleheader. I'm not surprised considering the mass injury bug going on with the team

Our goalie coach is in COVID protocol. So maybe back up for the back to back. But we need a top six guy and a goalie

Maybe the Arizona situation made him realize his bubble random desert teams are not as sustainable as he wishes they were. I know they ended up paying their bills but still.


In general the only way for the Coyotes to get out of Arizona is for all of the cities/governments in the state to not approve of their proposed stadium relocations

That way Bettman has no choice but to move them

And by the looks of things there could be a very strong chance of that as it seems their payment issues are souring their reputation in the state

As lets be honest Coyotes would have probs been out of Arizona this year if it was not for Bettman

It all starts at the top, and the top of a hockey team is its executives. Just ask Buffalo how they're doing with that, maybe this time their full-team teardown will work and they won't all lose their jobs.

Man I wish this were true, but from Bettman’s comments today it sure doesn’t sound like it.

Just playing devils advocate but doesn't he deserve a little more leeway right now.
Trotz NYI record = 115 - 67 - 24
Lost in round 2, Lost in round 4, Lost in round 3

Edit:
This season alone have dealt with COVID cancellations and injuries


I get that but Trotz has gone away from everything that’s made the team successful in the past and is letting his loyalty dictate his actions. Pelech-Pulock pairing is the #1 reason why the isles have made it to ECF. It’s the isles best offensive and defensive weapon at 5v5 , but it was broken up because Chara needed a babysitter. That D pair has allowed the isles to win games that they have no business winning.

If you look at the lines/D pairs and TOI distribution you’d think Trotz is actively trying to tank. That’s why I believe what he’s doing is a fireable offense

This feels like what the leafs did back in 2015

Brandon Shanahan comes in and decides yeah yall are fired **** off

And started a massive restructuring from the bottom up. I believe the only guy who was kept was the goalie coach

1. I fear that Adam’s gonna be out for a lot longer than most people expect, like he was the last time.

2. I’ve heard people calling for Christiansen to get a shot at the NHL level. I’m here for it.
