Just because he doesn't get "wins" or his plays don't lead to "goals" or his d doesn't "stop pucks from going to the net" and his goalies don't "make saves" doesn't mean he is a bad coach.

Why AA played limited minutes is a thread in and of itself. The dude is flat out the only guy I turned on the set to watch most evenings. People complain about limited scoring last year and dude rides the pine for long stretches of time because he had to pay some sort of dues before getting playing minutes while Sheahan skates like he's done something. My biggest fear with Holland now is what will he screw up further before he leaves? I really don't want to see the trade he'd make. Just give us another losing season, get rid of Holland and we can start digging out.

https://www.google.ca/amp/www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/report-arizona-coyotes-head-coach-dave-tippett-parting-ways/sn-amp/ Come on Kenny....get it done!

Regardless of any tension between him and the coaching staff, this move remains mind boggling...But anything that makes the Blackhawks worse (which this most certainly does) is a win in my book!

According to Custance Holland is looking for a young D and AA is on the block. Of course it might just be Holland's way of saying I tried. Assuming he does make a move and trade a young forward, I'd look to trade them in this order: Svechnikov, because he hasn't shown what he can do in the NHL yet. AA, he's fast and dynamic but has a higher chance of not being a stud compared to the others. Mantha, because he's big and looks like a perinnieal 25-30 goal guy. Larkin, a potential#1 center who takes care of things on both ends. This doesn't mean I dislike any or don't believe they all have potential, but it takes assets to get assets, and we NEED a high end D. Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

Please God, do not let us give away assets for Travis Hamonic.... he's not that good, I'd rather we go get Brendan Smith back. That's saying a lot because I was happy we moved him.

Kenny plz....

Defense is part of offense. A large part of the offensive struggles is a lack of guys on the blue line who can get the puck from the other team, make a good transition pass, join the rush and bury chances when they get them. Sent from my LGLS676 using Tapatalk

I'm out of breath just reading this post

In order to get Tippet we have to not have a coach. We have a coach. In order to not have a coach we need to fire him. Our coach isn't getting fired. Move along, nothing to see here.

I'm gonna freak out and break stuff

Dude Larkin played with Zetterberg in his entire first season, not a very good argument. AA plays with way lesser linemates and carries his own weight offensively (played with Andersson in his first season at times). With the linemates Larkin had compared to AA, the fact that their PPG is that close makes Larkin actually look worse not to mention the minutes played per game isn't even considered.

Getting Hamonic would be another s***ty "I just wanna make the playoffs" deal. And we still wouldn't make the playoffs anyway.

Holland gotta jump on this one if true Also, why the s*** would the Canes be shopping him of all their dmen?!

Trades are hard.

Hahahaha Dougie Hamilton went for a first and a second a couple years back... no way Travis Hamonic goes for more.

I will be a cranky boy if the Hawks get to select ahead of us in the year we first missed the playoffs

"The Arizona franchise has been a great success!" -Bettman, probably

Crazy. Dreger did follow it up with something about that being the asking price from his agent and will likely come down a bit. Could see him getting a deal around where Kane/Towes is though.. 10-11mill range/8 years. It'd be cool if he started a trend of star players taking less to make the team around them better.. but that seems unlikely.

Hahahahaha no team in the NHL will give him that contract.. if he doesn't budge, he'll be playing back home again next year.

Zetterberg was our best player. Zetterberg IS our best player. AA played a limited role and produced well enough in that limited role -- though, his underlying numbers were mostly ugly. Can he put up big numbers in a bigger, more demanding role? Can he be counted on to go toe-to-toe with top talent every night and win those matchups? Remains to be seen. At present, AA is a middle-six winger who needs to grow his game. He has gamebreaking ability, but he's not (yet) an all-around great NHLer and we can't be certain he's ever going to become much more than what he is right now. The jury's out on him. (And, to be fair, it's also out on Larkin and Mantha.)

That's unfortunate. Hopefully Holland was one of the three. Keep kicking THAT tire Kenny. Make him an offer he can't refuse...

100% strictly joke! No truth to it at all, it's meant to be exactly what you said, he does nothing.

Agreed. Nobody gets close to what Vladdy gets, not even Stevie. I was there in person for that, so I can say that with 100% certainty.
