Didn't the Coyotes GM recently say he's not interested in taking cap dumps?
My guess is they are still open for business if there was something too good to be true offered. This isn't it. If I were a GM with cap, I'd be looking for a second+ depending on the contract. If the other team thinks the player "shouldn't" take that much to move (like Myers whose contract is not obscene), I would simply say we're not the right partner for you. Go find the team that wants the sixth round pick or bury him.
There are only so many roster spots and so much salary in the budget. AZ is pretty well filled out on both.
No shortage of guys who can be a 6-8 d, even in the Coyotes' system. They need a top four guy. If there is a steady D who can eat 20+ minutes a night reliably on a short term deal that a team is looking to dump because his hit is too high, then yeah, I guess the Coyotes would take a look at taking something negligible for the dump. Myers isn't that guy.
All sorts of fans who think they'll hit the dump lottery getting someone to take their undesirable contract because "it isn't too bad". If it isn't too bad, bury him, buy him out, or find a team that actually needs him.
