Bill Armstrong #Coyotes

"We're building from within," Armstrong said. "It's really hard to get key guys in your organization unless you draft them. It's a drafting league. You look at all the top players in the league, they usually stay with the team that drafted them. Not always, but usually. So for us, it's the only way to get elite players and help us to take that next step to win a championship."

Yeah, the Coyotes are really close!

If their allstar line up of LITR came out of retirement, they'd actually be pretty good.

This is good. Canadiens are known to take lesser players higher in the draft.

They are gonna regret not taking Logan Cooley so bad! Idiots!

You’re not fixing everything in a couple moves lol, it’s a process. They traded a pending UFA who was asking for ridiculous money for a 1st, a young LW and a decent prospect. They flipped the first and our second for a young right shot dman, an organizational need.

They didn’t trade away any third round picks in 2023, as you stated above, they added one pick and now have two, 3rd’s. They also have three 4th round picks. I don’t know what’s gonna happen but there’s an opportunity there to get more picks, as has been reported. There’s also an opportunity to piss all their picks away. We’ll see how it plays out but I’m hoping for the former.

Fifty plus year process.



You are correct they traded a 2022 third round (Hamonic) pick and a 2024 second round pick (D1ckenson) plus they traded their best RHD prospect Myrenberg. Clearly this team is building through the draft.

Makes perfect sense at their stage of a rebuild & need. Both are not a reach or that much of one & why rumour of the pick is in play for a trade.

Sounds as if the top 4 are locked in and the rest is just a toss up.

Dvorsky could be dropping to Vancouver

Really? That’s the best you can come up with? That’s not only immature lol, but it’s pathetic. This group isn’t responsible for the entire history of the club. I really don’t understand why you’re a fan of the club, what self respecting human would choose to cheer for them. Most of us were kinda born and raised into it.

As for building through the draft, every team builds through the draft, to some degree. After only one draft I think it’s clear they’re trying to do both, build through the draft and be competitive. Let’s see how they manage this second draft and we’ll be able to get a better gauge on them.

They have missed on a lot of players in the draft. Not one of the better drafting teams out there.

I guess we now know who the President of the Canuck fan club is. The guy with the Arizona and Philadelphia avatars. Please let me be a fan of the Canucks, I promise to be good.

For the record you on many many occasions have b1tched about this clubs history, complained about throwing draft picks away but when the new group do it everything is fine and you twist your stories.


Anyways you old fart enjoy your day. Stay out of the sun or your face will start looking like a catchers mitt.

When did Barry Trotz get hired as Peds new GM? I missed that announcement.

It was kind of expected, their most successful coach in their short history moving up to being their GM, David Poile said years ago that when he steps down that it would be Trotz that he'd pick as his successor.

I female dog about their history all the time, but I don’t lay it at the feet of the current management group lol. I’ve cheered, and female doged, about this team since they came into the league.

We’ve been down the draft pick road before, there’s no twisting stories, you just keep spewing the same crap so I won’t get into it. I’d like them to trade everyone except Pettersson and Hughes and build through the draft, but that ain’t happening. Which I’ve said many, many times but you continue to act like you don’t know I’ve said it. Other than adding the 2nd for Hronek I don’t really have an issue with what they’ve done in a year and a half, pertaining to draft picks, considering they want to be competitive and add prospects.

I give them about another 10 months until you start b1tching about this group and twisting your stories once again.

You miss a lot.
- LeftCoaster

Most of it on purpose.

Yes well everything is not fixed yet so what assurance do you have that more of the same reasons won't be used again with the 11th pick. Lets face it they brought in Hronek with a first and a second and he has played 3 games so really nothing has been fixed yet which seems to be lost on you.

Provorov for a 1st & 2-2nds & no games played as of yet. Comparable?

No one’s twisting any stories, except you, but you might be right, I might start turning on them sooner than later.
