Thread: Hmmmmmm
I'm starting to think Ladd goes to LTIR as well, I think we're desperate enough and they'll be able to "make something up." Or maybe he'll have an actually nagging injury, who knows.

I'd rather not trade more assets than we have to, so if we can comfortably sign Barzal and Pulock with the Ladd money (pretty likely) and also find a taker for Boychuk, I'd stop there and then bring in one of AA, Duclair or Hoffman, not two. I've been pretty vocal about my disinterest in Hoffman, but having him for a year or two wouldn't be the end of the world, he still would be a spark to the PP and probably be a little better offensively next to Nelson or Barzal. I'm more interested in Duclair or AA, they can probably provide better value and you don't have to worry about them regressing due to age. I'd rather just sign one of them and then pocket the cap space for next year.

I'm convinced we're going to make a big run at Hall next offseason

Thread: Petition to move coyotes
Don't mean to pile on, but good lord, what an awful offseason:

1. Get stomped on in the playoffs so bad that your borderline Vezina caliber goaltender can't even save you
2. Lose two high draft picks because you cheated
3. Lose the top line forward you traded three prospects and 1st round pick for to free agency
4. Can't sign any big UFAs because the team perennially has no money
5. Your highest draft pick from this year's draft (4th round pick!) is known and was previously known to have committed abhorrent racist acts

And I hate to be this way because I do have an affinity for the Yotes and there have been some really promising glimmers of hope over the past couple of seasons. But every year, it's one step forward, two steps back. I feel awful for the passionate, if small collection of Coyotes fans that are out there who have had to deal with this; say what you want, they don't deserve this. Part of me hopes they move, just to get the organization on the right track again, but of course they won't and therefore, I hope that they can find some way - any way - to make what they have now work

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>No interest in Vatanen. Exactly the opposite of what they need.

Hutton is an ok depth piece. But nothing more. They have kicked the tires on Alzner. Decent size, before the Habs debacle he was consistent 20 mins 120 hits 150 blocks solid d. Chara could return or they just give the kids the chance to play.

Can’t take CDH contract.</div></div>

Alzner would be a disaster, especially in the top-4. As a 6-7, he might be serviceable, but he's spent the last two seasons in the AHL and it's not like it's because MTL has a wealth of defensemen. Chara of course could come back, I kinda forgot about him. Hutton actually had an excellent year with LA, created offense with the best of them. Only issue with him is that it's the first time in his career he's looked good as he did; he was pretty awful in Vancouver. Lots of risk with him.

Since CDH might be too expensive, I wonder if Chicago could take some money back. Ritchie or Moore perhaps?
