I like Mitts with Cozens, but if you go that route, your 3rd line looks really sketchy to the point where it turns into a 4th line again.

Greenway has some scoring ability, he has shown it in the past, put him on a line with some skill and I think you can wake him back up. That Minny stink needs to get off of him.

Let him use his size to his advantage, my only concern with that line really is Krebs playing a 3C role. I think one of the kids (Savoie/Benson for 9 games or even better 9 games each) to see how it goes.

18 games of Savoie/Benson rotating with Oloffson assuming he is still here can hopefully get you to December when Quinn hopefully is ready.

Just think you get much better balance splitting Cozens and Mitts.

It's hockey, lines change. We overthink them.

That's very fair, although upl still shows some potential.
Management loves potential and not giving up easily on prospects.

I'm head over heels on the phenom levi. I'm taking an optimistic approach.

IMO: He's gonna be the guy , whether he struggles or not. Management doesnt see this as a make or break year.
Playoffs or bust is a hockeybuzz thing.

He plays well, he plays more
He struggles, they play him for the future

This goaltender tandem has escape button written all over it. Easy to explain away the season..... young group..

Does Adams ever specifically state the playoffs or just the will to win?

Is he on the hot seat if they put up 90 points and are out of the playoffs in march?

There is zero pressure on Adams, and he acts accordingly.

If he doesn't make the playoffs, his seat is hot.

If goaltending costs them again, he'd be fired in any other city.

Official Statement from Bill Armstrong, Arizona Coyotes GM:

“I’d heard somewhere that he was a point per game player in Colorado last season, so we signed him.

Then, this morning… the dial-up’s a little spotty at the Mullett but I noticed my staff had been conglomerating on the other side of the building near a window where they could tether to the wifi from the Starbucks across the street. I hadn’t been online in weeks. I’d brought my laptop over there earlier today and finally had a chance to look this kid up on hockeydb. I realized ‘poop, it was the Colorado Eagles, not the Avalanche.’

It was a tough decision to let Alex go. We had to factor in the cost of both terminating the contract and making a long distance call to the NHL office. Our capologist, who’s great with money by the way - best in the league, Id argue - suggested I just call them collect and announce the termination super quickly when I record my name, so that’s what we did.

If any of you have a chance to talk to Alex, please let him know.”

Skinner is 31 but he plays a style that wil keep him relevant for a while, Tuck is only 28. That line should be fine fro 3 or 4 more years, but, there's always the Peterka's Savoie's, Kulich's waiting in the wings

Should there really be pressure in year 4 of a 5 year rebuild?
We just jumped like 15 or 16 points last season.

What exactly is he doing wrong? We had the youngest team in the league. He was forced to trade most of the nhl talent off the team.

Do other teams that are at the same draft every year draft older guys?

Yes they do, most take longer. We're talking nhl not nfl.

5 years is definitely reasonable, when you draft 17/18 year old kids

We're ahead of schedule, but go on....

Other teams add free agents and vets.

Were trading older guys and have an abundance of youth in our system.

Who has 5 1st round picks ready, that havent even played an nhl game?
