I guess the only concern I have is that GMBA is not in on this draft. The old guard is.
That’s not a sense of urgency with change it would seem. I truly hope for something good to happen with this franchise it no better than to expect it. We need positive news and fast. Im only too familiar with slow death and the past 9 years of being a season ticket holder ranks right up there with slowest of deaths. It’s gotta work and we gotta see it’s going to work right now or pull the damn plug.
Very good interview by the way.
I hope the GM is on the line w/ Dubas trying to create an Andersen n Kuemper trade. Andersen is only owed $1m in real cash but will provide a $5m cap hit, and is off the books after 1 year. He's the perfect Coyotes player at this point in time. Won't get hurt, can play 55 games and is cheap w/ a nice cap number to hit the cap floor. Of course we want that #1 pick along w/ others and some additional compensation based on playoff success. Meanwhile Kuemper is only a $4m player. Coyotes should look at holding $1m in salary from him and $2m from OEL to drive their values up. Toronto will spend to cap Covid or no Covid and need the cap space. They will pay up. Also offer OEL as a $6.25m d man and hold onto $2m per year of his salary. This will only drive up the returns for him as well. OEL is $6m is much more attractive and an option to many more teams than an $8m OEL. Gaining the draft picks is what this is all about going forward. Nothing more.
