Thread: Suggestions to improve D overall depth and bottom 6 plus remove passengers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yotes269</b></div><div>Would I trade Mcbain? No, and I don’t think the org wants to either. We got him because he wanted to play higher in the lineup, it reminds me a lot of Vesey but Mcbain has a much more defined role that can play across the league.

As far as kerfoot goes, he’s a low event sturdy 4th liner. he’s being deployed as he should, $3.5m might be steep but it’s such an improvement to the bottom 6</div></div>

Ya I suppose the cap hit for two years is not an issue for the Coyotes, that makes sense and ya good 4th liner who can really slot into any forward spot in a pinch. I guess I am being harsh because he has been such a dud in the playoffs.

Hey hope it’s ok to ask, have you been to a game? Curious on the atmosphere in the small arena. Planning a road trip and Phoenix is on the short list of destinations. I noticed there is standing room only which I love but wonder about the view.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yotes269</b></div><div>I’d agree he gets is 9, he actually reminds me a lot of crouse in junior where the top end speed isn’t bad, but the explosion is a bit lacking just because he hasn’t grown into his body yet. Crouse is a very good skater now so I expect we’ll see a similar development path. If Geekie can be a 50-55 point guy I think that’s a home run for the middle 6</div></div>

Draft year I wasn’t that impressed by geekie, but this past season it seemed like he grew and gained some speed, such a light lanky body type, could be quite the player if he can grow into it. Give you a little bit of everything, crouse probably is a pretty good projection on geekie, another big body tough to play against to add to the stable. Definitely starting to see a blues of the south look to the coyotes, hopefully doesnt start handing out 8x everywhere, and squad stays hungry

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yotes269</b></div><div>For the first time in awhile you’re right, there’s a lot of competition for those spots, but they made Hayton earn the 1C role and I’d expect Guenther to have to do the same, he likely starts out with Bjugstad or Mcbain on the 4th. Zucker is likely a deadline flip that’s their last real chance at adding a quality pick, and if we’re in the playoff race and we keep him it means we finally had high end depth. I think the team is going to surprise some people this year</div></div>

I really like your team. I think you guys also have one of, if not the best prospect pool. I really like the Yotes and hope they do well.
As for your point, I think thats fair. He does have to earn it, but he wont earn much game time on the 4th, so it will be hard to prove himself unless he gets PP time.
