Way to get people's hopes up there Bingo
FYI - the talk on Sportsnet 650 was that Arizona/Minnesota were close on a deal that would have seen Domi for Zucker/Ennis. So our Domi would be Bennett. That probably changes the view on any potential deal - can get a top 6 at a discount, but not for pennies on the dollar.
Take into consideration that Zucker is UFA after a year and he may not have an appetite to sign long term with us unless we buy UFA years at a premium.
Here's the link from the Score on a potential deal - Minnesota is not giving them away for nothing
The reported transaction would've seen the Coyotes acquire forwards Jason Zucker and Nino Niederreiter in exchange for Domi and, potentially, center Christian Dvorak.
Russo added that the Coyotes likely would've also taken on expensive forward Tyler Ennis, who carries a $4.6-million cap hit for one more season, according to CapFriendly.
It would've been a major cap-clearing move by new Wild general manager Paul Fenton.
