Will his cap hit be centering Patrick Kane's cap hit?

I just don't know what Arizona's endgame is? Like everyone says oh they are acquiring all this draft capital, etc. but then they are also trading away young players like Chychrun that could be part of a decent core.

I think they’re actually trying to have a college team to go with their arena

Arizona is a feeder for the rest of the league.They amass draft capital then once their players develop they can't afford to pay their players a competitive salary so they trade them for....more draft capital. Rinse, repeat.

Arizona continues to be a complete embarrassment to the league.

Relocate them at once.

My guess is they're going to be scorched earth (fake player salaries to reach the floor) until they move into their new arena. That'll probably still be 4-5 seasons away. Chychrun would be gone as a UFA by then. While doing that, they're acquiring draft picks in the hope that these players are ready by then.

Yes. He has concussion problems and has had something like 13 in his career. The most recent one was scary in that he was hardly touched.

Literally NOTHING matters until the Arena vote on May 16th in regards to what the Arizona Coyotes do.

I’m interested in tracking whether voracek’s contract has a better +/- than Mavi at the end of the season.

It really does feel like the Coyotes have been doing this kind of stuff for so long that they exist solely as a feeder team in the league that develops players and aids other teams with salary cap troubles. I don't see an end to this until they start drafting better as they have missed on a lot of high picks over the years.

The goal is to spend less actual money than the floor and to be the league's waste disposal ground
