Thread: Chychrun Forsberg
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Britishbulldog</b></div><div>Is Chychrun a 'franchise' defenceman? I understand a bit off the hype but now that OEL is in Vancouver and Chychrun is the #1 LHD for Arizona he seems to be struggling. If he can't handle all the tough assignments, PP1 and PK1 while thriving he isn't a 'franchise' defenceman.

I don't watch any Arizona games but have not heard anyone else call him a franchise defenceman on the sports channels so I am genuinely wondering.</div></div>

He’s 23 so still developing, but has all the makings of a franchise defenseman. When he had a competent D partner last year he was a rockstar but it’s been hard to build any sort of consistency with the rotating cast of characters playing with him this year. This was always going to be a down year for him because of how much talent the Coyotes lost this past offseason.

The fact remains that he’s young, cheap, and has shown flashes of being able to play on that level already. Coyotes can’t and won’t trade him for less than that value because if he becomes that franchise defenseman it will reflect terribly on the front office.

As my Coyotes go-to guy, would you please do me a favor and be so kind as to check out my last two Arizona posts?

Even "no comment" would be okay. Thanks in advance!</div></div>

Of course! Checked out both posts, here are my thoughts on both:

Best Possible TDL: I like the Kessel deal though I think he’ll end up on more of a guaranteed cup contender (Vegas seems like the best fit). I don’t have a problem with the Armia deal but I think that’s more likely done in the off-season. Not a huge fan of the Vegas deal though, Dadonov helps the team now which is what the team is trying to avoid. I do think it’s possible that they trade Boyd, but more likely they trade Larsson.

Modest Improvements: same thing with the Dadonov deal with the added pain of trading Jenik. He’s only going to be a middle 6 player but I love his grit and fire. Great guy to have in the locker room.

Overall, you are one of the more informed posters on here when it comes to the coyotes, which is certainly a breath of fresh air haha. Always look forward to seeing your posts on here

Thread: One Last Move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IjustNEEDaTROYgamble</b></div><div>They don’t have a future with all these horrible contracts they took on anyways whether they had the players they would trade to the Leafs for Matthews or not, at least with Matthews people will come to watch him score goals
Arizona is really not doing well financially and Matthews would bring attendance up while they are going to be bad, because the moves they have made is dooming Arizona to shame for Shane next year and Connor Bedard the year after.</div></div>

“Dooming” them to picking 2 guys considered to be top of the lineup guys? That’s exactly their plan. Suck now to go get those guys and hopefully be a playoff team/contender with one or both of those guys in 3-4 years. What you are saying makes no sense
