I read The Athletic's hypothetical NHLers-on-Teams-USA-and-Canada article the other day, which got me thinking about who would've been on the coaching staffs.

Without really looking, Team USA could've been something like HC Laviolette, with Sullivan, Torts, Hynes in the running as assistants, while Canada would've inevitably been Babcock, with some combination of Boudreau/Quenneville/Cooper/Hitch/Julien as assistants, maybe?


Sergei Bobrovsky for 2nd+4th+4th?

They'll find some way to dump the contract, I'm sure of it.

if the coyotes are going to trade duke and strome busts for real then i'd take him for a 1st round pick. if he gets hurt then he gets hurt and if he's tired of losing then we can retain salary and trade him back to the hawks

quote:

“It’s gone back for a few years now where the team wasn’t particularly happy with the player and the player wasn’t particularly happy with the team and we worked through some things, tried a lot of different approaches in a lot of different ways,” Coyotes general manager John Chayka said on a conference call. “I hope he has success in Chicago and does good things.”

quote:

“There’s a lot of things that go into a trade,” Chayka said. “Some of them are readily apparent. You see Anthony play and his speed and skill is obvious to everyone. There’s some things that I think should stay behind closed doors. It was a long process. We went through a lot of different approaches and a lot of different things through two different (coaching) staffs here and at the end of the day just felt that for both sides it was best to move on.”

ugh. rather have a pick than trash though

Why couldn't they just have gone with "Knights"?
Probably because they couldn't get a trademark for it, right?
Now they're gonna lose their name or have to kick some money to the loving army.

the oel for matthews rumors come from not-leafs and not-coyotes fans who don't realize that matthews isn't saving the coyotes on or off the ice and the coyotes overpaying for matthews is just going to make coyotes fans resent him. it's better to make a run at him as a ufa 5-10 years from now.

Can I get a hot take on Duclair? I thought him and Domi were doing really well last season. How did Chicago get him for Former NHL Leading Goal Scorer Richard Panik?

streaky one way player with locker room issues that's gone through 3 coaches now. yakupov, deangelo, gagner, etc.

what are you supposed to do with guys like kyle turris or blake wheeler though? they didn't even want to try to win. duclair stuck around a while before the trade request but i'm not sure what he was expecting after 3 coaches worth of whatever he was doing not working and then asking for a clean start somewhere else.

bargain bin yakupov in spite of better coaching isn't a great look, but we'll see what chicago can do with him, i guess

I’d be looking for a D equivalent of the Brian Boyle deal from last year. A 2nd/3rd pairing dude who can kill penalties and has absolutely no PP abilities because any skill in that area would just drive up the price for a redundant skill. A poor man’s Hainsey or a rich man’s Polak.

For a bigger deal, trading Marner/Nylander just seems like plugging one hole by opening another so I’d hope an offer would be topped out at something like Kap, a 1st and a B forward. If that doesn’t get anyone good then they’re probably better standing pat.

But I hunk the appetite for that has gone down since even a couple weeks ago as Dermott looks better than expected.

the glendale arena is actually really nice and if you are thinking about a road trip to see your team you could do worse than here. the hotel's next door and it's been in the 70s all month, and tickets are probably $30-50 for second deck between the blue lines.
