We have a first round pick. Obviously Aho is off the table but we have assets other than him.

[quote=Cptmjl]
Not many and part of why they couldn't land hall they didnt have the assets

[quote=Upstate_isles]
Nah I don’t believe or agree with that. The devils took crap for Hall Lameriello was unwilling to give up what it would take. That is all.

[quote=Cptmjl]

I’m not gonna say crap. 1 first rounder, a 3rd rounder which can become a second rounder if they win a PO round and then can become a 1st rounder if he signs with them as well.
Then a past 1st rounder, 2nd rounder, and 3 rounder all for a player who may or may not sign. That’s 5 guaranteed pieces and if he signs 2 firsts which is a lot in itself.

The prospects aren’t amazing but 2 of the 3 will be NHLers. At what capacity is not known yet.

Ho sang tries too much at offensive blue line and it's in his net

[quote=Upstate_isles]
He was the main piece and his ceiling according to anything Ive read is a top 4 and that’s if he ever reaches it. The other prospects by all accounts are not good. A late first and he’s not signing so the other pick is going to stay a 3rd. That’s not a big price for a hart trophy winner and a player of Hall’s caliber imo. Point is we could have easily matched that or have done better if Lameriello wanted too. Irregardless we probably would’ve gave up Aho which would have probably put us in an even worse position right now.

[quote=nyisles7]
He’s not signing and for the coyotes it’s worth it if they win a round. Like everything else on here the point is being missed which is we had/have the assets to match that if Lameriello wanted to do so. He did not obviously for whatever his reasons were whether he didn’t feel the need or didn’t want to give up what it would take.

He may have nothing more in the tank. I wouldn't be surprised if he knows his body doesn't have what it takes to get back to the NHL and he is just riding it out.
