Ryan Callahan out 5 months

hysterectomy?

[thom54]

Hearing Coyotes and defenseman Alex Goligoski closing in on a five-year deal in the neighborhood of $5.5 million per season.

[Matthew]

Florida chris is gonna have a lot of money tied up in a pretty meh defensive unit.

~ 31 million for a 7 dman unit. It wouldnt be so bad if it was an elite unit, but it isnt.

I believe Miks defensive cap hit is only around 26 million.

[Lee]

54 low 73 high for cap next year

[The BBKL Insider]

1.6 up. I'll take it. Should cover Seth Jones raise.

Doubtful even if it's a bridge. He makes it to FA.....offer sheet watch will be on even tho they will match

[The BBKL Insider]

I suspect between 5 and 6 mil. He made 3.8 last year so the raise will almost cover him!

You have 5 pretty good dmen available for expansion draft.

[Lee]

Alex Goligoski's new contract in ARIZ will be five years at just below $5.5M AAV.

[Tony]

And they'll still suck for 5 years...

[Matthew]

The yotes are slowly putting together a nice looking young team, imo. I'm glad they are getting some dmen for domingues sake.

i'll lose a dman, that said I believe only 4 available. Hutton should be exempt

I could see them signing Reimer.

[thom54]

Smith and Reimer ... like that !

[Bruyns]

ARI needs to spend to get to the cap floor so it makes a lot of sense, I'd say it's either CGY or ARI for Reimer.

[Matthew]

I'd expect that money to go toward big name free agents. Especially Defense. Reimer isn't an upgrade on domingue.

[Bruyns]

It's not easy to get big name free agents to agree to sign there.

Reimer was a .922 goalie last year and Domingue was .912 I don't think you will find many people who don't recognize Reimer as an upgrade. Even a healthy Smith likely plays over Domingue next year if they stand pat. Domingue was a nice story in Arizona last year as a 24 year old rookie seizing an opportunity but he is not their long term answer in net.

Domingue - 2.75 .912
Smith 2.63 .916

People don't regard Smith very highly, but he is still a better option as the numbers bear out.

[Matthew]

He was also a rookie. Reimers been a .914 sv percentage career goalie. Not sure what's so special about him? Why spend money in a position they've all ready tied so much up in on smith long term, when they can spend it upgrading an atrocious defense.

Because they have lots to spend and might not be able to attract anymore quality D and Reimer is a big upgrade over Domingue IMO. I don't think OEL, Goli, Murphy, Stone is an atrocious top 4 either their offence needs help, but Strome and Dvorak will hopefully provide some of that. Having money does not equal getting free agents. I don't care if ARI signs Reimer though it just seems like a possible destination to me and I think you owning Domingue is pretty obviously letting some bias creep in and wanting him to be a starting goalie.

You can deny the bias, but if you didn't own Domingue I'm almost certain you wouldn't speak up based on just a guess that ARI could bring in another goalie.
