The Arizona Coyotes need to make a roster move: and they need to make it soon

I’ve always held a certain amount of disdain for the alarmists who want to MOVE EVERYONE WHO DOESN’T PLAY A GOOD GAME THIS WEEKEND.

    • For the first month of the season, evaluating players as ‘someone who should be traded’ didn’t help anyone. The roster wasn’t finalized, the lines combinations hadn’t been set, and it was a new season. New faces, new ice, new game.

    Nearly two months into the season, though, someone has got to go.

    A lot of fans think it should be Zbynek Michalek, Martin Hanzal, or Keith Yandle. Some think it should be all three! I think I’ve got some other solutions.

    When a team is looking inconsistent, it’s easy to become alarmed… but it’s also easy to become complacent and assume that ‘things will fix themselves’. That’s been my mantra so far… but I no longer think the team is going to magically mend into a playoff-ready roster.

    Does a large portion of this have to do with Brandon Gormley and Martin Hanzal being out with injuries? Of course. Playoff teams become playoff teams, though, because they aren’t affected by player injuries. If the Arizona Coyotes are that badly affected by two scratches from the lineup, something needs to get turned on its head. Something like the roster itself.
