Yeah, like the Iggy trade I thought I'd try to buy low and hope they turn it around.

I just figure with Smith's big contract that he'll be given plenty of opportunities to start.

I can do a 2nd, there's no way I'll be able to use all of mine anyways
Edit: any of them except for Vancity's no offense meant to him

Can someone let me know what the intention is this offseason?

I'm specifically looking at our upcoming draft and whether we will have more teams folding, whether all teams will need to drop a certain amount of players prior to the draft, or will the draft only be for waiver wire players and the 2015 NHL draft class?

Dude, you serious? You can't even pick up a mediocre backup goalie off the wire...

When he does start he is letting in 4 goals , I though I was getting a good low numbers goalie when I traded for him but Coyotes suck bad this year

Won't be folding teams, we have people waiting to react any owners so there's no shortage of interest. Since we'll only have rookies and free agents in next year's draft I'll probably give owners the opportunity to forfeit their picks if they prefer to keep everyone on their team. The rest of the owners can draft from whoever is dropped, free agents, and the rookies.

Yeah, Elliott might get more wins than him even if he starts like 15 less games I don't think Smith is that bad, I think he'll at least bounceback to being an average starter. I definitely think he's better than Dubnyk.

I just wanted to add more scoring depth as well.

Wow, that drastically reduces the value of the draft. Aside from the first few picks (McDavid, Eichel, etc) there will only be wire scrubs and NAs available for selection.

Was just curious to understand the value of a pick for next year, which appears very low outside the top 5.

Even as a backup I think he does better than Smith whom as you said is riding the pine today

Ya they'll be pretty useless next year with not teams folding.

Unless you strike gold with a top 3-5 pick.

McDavid and Eichel are pretty likely to be impact players next year
