<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>The fact of the matter is that he would play 3RW but I dont think you realize that if another team could take him on they will, he’s not a guy we are going to burn picks on. You will get more value for him from a team that needs the retention. We aren’t just paying a 2nd if we are the only buyer out there. Do you get this? It’s cheap for a COL to pay a 3rd team to do more retention too. NYR don’t care about it so we aren’t about to match and raise the cost.</div></div>

I get what you’re saying. But at the end of the day, we’re talking about the difference between a lottery ticket with a 0.1% chance of hitting versus a lottery ticket with a 0.01% chance of hitting. Rangers are hitting the end of the rebuild and don’t really need 3rd or 4th round picks. Maybe Kessel isn’t the right guy, but holding onto mid-round picks instead of spending them to upgrade the roster is not how to win games in May

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>No disrespect, I understand what you mean, but it would only be true with a decent team. Losing a game makes a ****ty atmosphere whatever the size of the arena.</div></div>

That’s true. Phoenix is especially bad about being a front running town (look at the suns attendance a couple years ago versus now). In theory, the end of their tenure at ASU should coincide with the team turning the corner, so the last year could be a rocking barn if everything goes to plan.

But doesn’t change the fact that the building will likely be sold out every game. They average nearly 12k now in a significantly worse location, people saying they won’t sell it out are either trolling or willfully ignorant (or both)

This is what they’ll get, at least with the smaller arena it won’t seem as bad.

Though it’s a little embarrassing to have less attendance than <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moncton_Coliseum" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">a backup QMJHL arena.</a>

Will bring a new aspect that could be entertaining for the league though, that I can agree with you.</div></div>

LOL this pic is so old it’s still called Jobing.com arena. Hasn’t been called that in nearly 10 years.

People really don’t understand the demographics of the Phoenix area. All of the fans are on the East side of the Valley (Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler) and Gila River is on the northwest side and is generally a sh*t hole (for lack of a better term). Moving them to the east side along with a winning team they will sell out every game, both in the 5000 seat ASU arena and the (pending) new arena in Tempe.

Sujet: Only Chyc trade Id do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NickC1988</b></div><div>I like this trade for both sides, LAK don't need a 1RD for the foreseeable future with Doughty. Plus, Roy and Walker are on good contracts and serviceable in their current roles. Durzi is a good 7D.

But...

I could see AZ being more interested in Turcotte and Bjornfot/Anderson instead of Clarke and Kupari. They have Soderstrom and Timmons for the right side, it's the left side that's weaker.</div></div>

I wouldn’t mind that, but there’s not a true “blue chip” piece in that deal. I like Andersen and Bjornfoot but I think they’re top 4 defensemen at best. I want a piece with the potential to be the top of the lineup player like Chychrun was for us last year. You can figure out the balance on the backend later (Moser looks promising on the left side, Timmins has injury issues that have affected his development)

Sujet: Three way - Chychrun
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>The coyotes need everything. They have one winger on the roster right now that has any realistic likelihood of being on the roster when the coyotes are even close to good again.</div></div>

Wingers are easier to find though. They have at least 3 in junior/AHL right now that are projected top 6 guys. They have no projected top line centers in the organization. It would be a waste of assets to trade our only blue chip piece and not get a center with that type of potential back. Besides you’re choosing to ignore the rest of what I said. Vaak and Yamamoto don’t move the needle and neither does the first. Chychrun trade will not be surrounding one major asset, it will be multiple major assets

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>I don't know who you think Chychrun is, but he's not the second coming of Erik Karlsson. He's not a top 10 defenseman in the NHL.

I realize he plays for a bad team, so his numbers aren't going to look great, but he was taken off the 1PP in favor of Gostisbehere this season. The one area where he should be the go-to guy for a dynamic defenseman, and he's not the go-to guy on the worst team in the league.

If these ludicrous returns are what's expected in return for Chychrun, then I hope Anaheim gives up all those pieces for him. They'll surely regret it.</div></div>

He was a top 10 defenseman last year when he had a competent defensive partner. This year he has had the privilege of playing with the corpse of Anton Stralman for most of his games. He hasn’t stepped up, sure. But you don’t get to erase last year’s performance because of a bad first 20 games of this season.

Doesn’t matter whether you think he’s worth an Eichel like return or not. That’s what Arizona is asking for so either they’ll get it or they’ll keep him and be just as happy
