Fair trade I think.

i guess voracek career is over... you know it when you get traded to arizona...

I am so sick of this franchise. Anything to save money they don't have

Arizona is turning into an LTIR retreat.

I want a breakdown of the Coyotes cap burden paid by insurance companies

this guy is still around?????

How does Bettman have the stones to say the league is keeping tabs on teams placing players on LTIR to avoid cap issues prior to playoffs, but turns a blind eye to the tax shelter known as the Arizona Coyotes?

Not a serious organization.

If Mtl trade Price to Arizona they will have almost the same amount of money in LTIR then in their regular line-up that's crazy.

Any specific reason CBJ is making cap space at the bottom of the standings?

That's $8.25 million they have for free agency now.

Rumor locally is that ownership is a little cheap and doesn't want to have to pay a guy if he's not going to play.

They don’t have anyone on LTIR

Accurate

There are a couple of points in this mini thread that attempt to explain it. See response from "Craig Needles".

They’ve always been! Remember Coyotes legends Pavel Datsyuk and Marian Hossa?

This makes zero sense unless his career is done

All signs point to Arizona refusing better offers for Chycrun if it included any salary coming back. I can't imagine they want to pay Voracek over 7 mil next year

Voracek is probably never playing again I guess

they are beyond an embarrassment at this point

Those things are funny until they aren't, this team is a joke to the spirit of the sport and brings shame onto this league.

All they do is draft, develop, trade for future assets and then rinse, repeat. When will this madness end?!

Arizona is a joke of a franchise and I feel awful for anyone whose a Coyotes fan.

So a 6th rounder in exchange for whatever is left due on Voracek's insurance policy

This is just a technicality. Not every player with a long-term injury has to go on LTIR. LTIR a vehicle to allow teams with injured players to go over the cap to replace them. If the team isn't over the cap, the player just goes on regular IR. When Arizona takes another team's LTIR player, he comes off LTIR because Arizona is under the cap.

Bettman's pride is a laughing stock

ARZ draft board & the insane # of "picks" is SICK
