Is Vejmelka really that ahead of UPL?

His #'s last year are very comparable to UPL this year.

- DirtyDan


He has been comparable to craig anderson, with way more minutes on an ass team.

Looks like it is per game

Has anyone actually thought of what pieces they might want back for Chychrun. If they want a young plug and play D man or a D prospect they can sign. Maybe we don't have the exact pieces. There's a few trades that went down that Buffalo didn't have the right stuff or not willing to give up that stuff even if they wanted to go ahead with a trade.

Doesnt matter what Arizona actually wants in return, kyvnv needs to force them to take our draft picks , but none of our actual good prospects.

We always have the "right stuff" Adam's just cant get it done.

Borderline top 10 in goalie statistics.

One stat ranking him at 9 does not make him borderline top 10


Hes 20+ in every other stat

value is different for every team. for a wild card team like the sabres

I bet they get the range of 23 1st (top 10), flyers 2nd, buffalo 24 3rd, Rosen, scrap

I am in complete agreement that a '24 1st and Rosen being the main pieces of a Chychrun deal are perfect. Play with the smaller pieces as you wish, but that would be perfect to me. Of course Armstrong is asking for one of the Big 3 from the last draft, but if I'm Adams, there's no way any of those three are on the table.

Chicken-Man and Vejmelka for:

2023 top 10 protected 1st, Philly's 2023 2nd, UPL, Rosen, and Ostlund

Broken down:

2023 1st, plus two first round prospects for Chicken

UPL and a 2nd for Vejmelka

How often do you see these scores anymore.. Averaging over 6 goals a game this year.

Only 10 teams averaging under 3

- DirtyDan


UPL sucks, Commie Sucks and has to bath in Bengay after every game, frankly id call up Houser right now or Subban. We dont have NOTHING to lose

9th in the league for goals saved above expected

UPL is 70th

Isn't the obvious answer to your post above Samuelsson, from the Coyotes perspective?

And thats on a terrible team. Chychrun and Vejmelka would make us a playoff team.

Removing samuelsson. Adding chicken run doesn’t help.

Power, samuelsson, Dahlin need to be the holds.

Take any other d man in the system.

I know they are are scraps. But its what we got. Which can be seen on any given game night

Vej is a second year starter where UPL is a rookie.

Vej's stats are very comparable last year to where UPL is this year.

I already posted his name. Not having any D depth is hurting Buffalo in trades.

Could be a big closing night against Ottawa April 13th.

Tkachuk was a (frank)ing nut the last two nights. They terrorized Detroit . He was challenging their entire bench. Detroit looked like us against Calgary.

Was listening to overdrive or maybe another show yesterday and they were saying this is the biggest deterrent for teams. Why no one will pay the asking price of Arizona
- DirtyDan

Also other good news.

Seems that
Blues have several d-men on the market
So do the flyers.

Could drive the price down.

If Armstrong drops his asking price, Adams will be first in line to listen.

Cool, let UPL be good there next year. We need someone who can play above-average now.

and UPL is playing on a much better team this year and has shown he isn't ready to be an everyday starter
