Remember, ownership didn’t want to move on from Iginla either until his age and restricted destinations reduced his trade value to very little.

I think the lesson Edwards learned from the Gaudeau fiasco was to not let UFAs walk for nothing. But I don’t think he’ll ever be onboard with tanking.

In an article in the Athletic today, Bill Armstrong talked about how the Coyotes/Mammoth management team were patient and focused on their rebuild. “We had a plan to gut the team and grab assets and then draft well, build a good scouting staff, and go to work.” I just don’t see Edwards having the appetite for that kind of long-term strategy.
