Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Continuing on with this series trying to finish before the draft. The Coyotes keep stockpiling picks. Again not what I would do necessarily with each team but what I think could happen.

Trades:
-Tatar trade, Devils unload cap space and Arizona gets a player they can flip at the deadline.
- Brossoit gives cap relief to Vegas and Arizona gets a solid backup
-Islanders trade the Islanders shed a bunch of cap and add Ghost who can spark some pick movement from that back end. Coyotes get a pick and Bailey can help mentor a young locker room.
-Blues trade I know could draw fire. Coyotes get the picks they want. A couple middle 6 forwards to provide some grit and Miikola had some potential. I still think this is a win for the Blues as that top 4 d would be lethal.
-Dallas pays more then vegas cause Khudobin has a bigger contract and I have him as the third goalie.

AHL:
The Coyotes are gonna let prospects take their time the biggest trick was trying to stay under 50 players with entry level contracts will need to be signed. Khudobin will backstop a team that should be full of young entry level deals.

Goalie: Vejmelka and Brossoit will split duties this year Khudobin or Saterri if injuries arise. See if Brossoit can bounce back and Vejmelka potential while at the same time I don’t think the Coyotes are too concerned with being good this year

Defence:
Stralman reportedly likes it on Arizona and can help mentor this young team. Losing Ghost and Chychrun will hurt the offense from the backend so they’ll be looking for Timmons to stay healthy and Miikola to step up.

Forwards:
The additions of Tatar and Bailey will help this young group along, look for the young guys to take another step meanwhile wait another year for Guenther and Cooley to come in. Bottom 6 is physical and big and that’s how you wanna play as a rebuilding team when you’re waiting on new talent Play hard play physical and wait.

Overall:
I expect this team to be a bottom 5 team again but hopefully some of their young players can take another step forwards. They accrue a lot of assets and hopefully can one day build an actual arena to play in
