If I was a hockey fan in Arizona, I would have zero interest in that team. This trade just shows their management stupidity.
Look we got some shiny beans.
And a 6 foot tall piece of crap.

I don’t know if I agree about their current GM. Armstrong was only hired in September 2020 and he does seem to have a plan to build through the draft and by using cap room to acquire picks.
I think he has the right vision and has them going in the right direction.
6 picks in the first three rounds this year
5 picks in the first three rounds next year
7 picks in the first three rounds in 2024 already
They had 4 in the first two rounds last year too.
That’s a lot of draft capital to use on picks or in trades.
Guenther looks great. Cooley could be the best player in this draft. And they will have a great shot at a top pick in a loaded draft next year.
Their rink situation is embarrassing but I think Armstrong has done a good job with what he’s had to work with and taking over the mess Chayka left behind.
My guess is they intend to throw the max at Matthews if he makes it to UFA in 2024 as well.
