The Coyotes Cap Dump Club 

Would've been a hell of a team in 2010

I miss Pronger. Damned shame how his career ended so abruptly

What a great topic, I’ve always wanted the larger story of the Yotes doing this stuff

I always thought the "trading contracts" line in the NHL was a funny loophole to get around the salary cap. This was a fun video to watch!

Part of these LTIR contracts is issuance recovery. If the contract qualifies for the insurance the Coyotes get the cap hit and then recover part of the contract costs via insurance recovery. So in essence the Coyotes don’t pay the majority off the contract

If the team put the effort they put on lowering costs into actually building a team, man that Coyotes team would be scary. It's a slap in the face of their fans, like they're not even trying to contend

Every time you say the word career, it makes me chuckle. Don't get me wrong. I like the way you say it. I just find it funny.

I am new to hockey and just thought the team was bad but didn’t know why. The Yotes are basically the orioles/pirates of the NHL

I foresee a sports comedy where an old timer on LTIR needs to return to the game to honor his contract and receive his massive earnings.

I don't understand why there is a "salary floor". That doesn't make sense. What if you buy a struggling franchise (like Coyotes) and want to reevaluate the team and get a fresh start. But now you have to get your roster to the minimum salary level and by doing that prolong the process of rebuilding.

St. Louisan and Die Hard Blues fan here: Billy Armstrong has been trained by the 2nd greatest GM in the League(#1 being Stevie Yzerman), stay patient. Bill has started the 5 year plan. And for the record: to all you Yotes fans, take care of Keller

I'd love to have a beer with Pronger. He's obviously very intelligent yet he's a cruel bully at the same time...Whyyyyy? Is what I'd ask. How did he become that player and reconcile both sides of himself?

Datysuk won Olympic gold in 18 too

Not since moving to Arizona…since moving to Glendale

Dave Bolland didnt help Chicago get their third cup in six years? He was only there for their first two cups

I live in Chris Prongers home town, sometimes in the summers we see him riding his motorcycle.

Can only imagine how decent this team would have been if all these guys were on it...and not injured to the point of never playing (in the NHL) again. Though yeah, I suppose they really do have bigger problems these days than their constant rebuild.

I don't understand the reasoning for the bolland trade to the coyotes …

You'll need new ownership. I know I'm a Panthers fan. The 90s Panthers was Wayne Huizenga very rich, then it was like many, many years of poor to mediocrity under an 'ownership" group that was literally used car dealership owners and my friend's wife actually worked for an "owner" it was like a small 11 person business office. We now have "very rich" billionaire owners again, Vincent Viola and Douglas Cifu. They STILL had to go threw a full multi year rebuild etc.

So, assuming that Datysuk gets into the HoF (I would have to say it's far more likely than not) there will be as many HoFers on the Cap Dump club as the Coyotes have had actually lace up for the team. And even that list includes Brett Hull, who took the ice for a grand total of 5 games with the franchise.

Imagine chychrun on the red wings right now

Will the Yotes have money to spend on players once they move to ASU?

Honestly the Yotes have the best logo in the NHL ! That’s why it makes sense for the NHL to keep the team 😅😅 VAMOS COYOTES!

I got into hockey recently and idk why but I picked the yotes to be my team and the boys might not be the best but hey the got spirit

Hossa became allergic to his own sweat with the way it was reacting with his equipment. Meaning, instead of buying new gear, or washing it regularly, he upped and fucked off.

Insane ... And then there's tier two: the Cap Dump Club who HAVE played games, like Louie Eriksson, Phil Kessel, Andrew Ladd, et al... !!

Shea Weber has entered the chat

This is why The Yotes will never get moved. It's Bettmans trashcan where other teams can dump their shitty contracts and thus more interesting teams have chance to succeed

This is oddly satisfyin’ lmao

It’s a shame a team is allowed to be cad intentionally.

Soon to be added Shea Webber lol 😂

The thumbnail shows just how ugly that CCM/Reebok bucket was. Look for the current Warrior helmets to age as gracefully.

Sending Wright or bedard to this organization would potentially ruin their careers

Pavel only played for 2 teams in the KHL. SKA and Avtomobilist

Pronger was traded to Philly not a signing. He signed after being traded

Wow

I'm Semi-Retired. Hopefully, I Can Get The Arizona Coyotes To Take Me On And Pay Me For The Next 10 Years. LOL. Chicago Got Them To Take 2 Players (If You Don't Include Niklas Hjalmarson, Who Was Nearly Retired When Arizona Got Him From Chicago).

Although there is enough evidence that Phoenix (and the valley ) is a viable market, this review lends weight to how many sports teams run their organizations in order to squeeze out a profit. Although it is an organizations right to do so, this review also indirectly points out the business model is all at the expense of the tax payers that subsidized a teams stadium and surrounding real estate deals. Its a shame that the nhl hasn’t found consistently sincere ownerships that realize the customer comes first. It’s inexcusable for how long the yotes have been allowed to exploit the fans from a repeatably enjoyable experience. Although smart from a accounting perspective, its odd(to me) that the NHL would allow the repeated “loophole” to continue. Closing the loophole one could argue, would force teams to push for more payroll that has a direct impact on the ice (and for the fan experience). Lastly this review also indirectly brings to light why(or why not) the NHLPA hasn’t been vocal of the yotes contractual endeavors. Maybe they are “in” on it too? 🙄😉🤔🙃✌🏻

we have more playoff series wins than Toronto in the past 10 years

kinda like extreme couponing for nhl players lol

all the injured players are paid by an insurance company i would think, so arizona probably pays nothing.

At least they have beautiful jerseys

*Imo, Arizona isn't as bad as everyone leads on. Poor management, definitely clouds the view, mixed with continued bad contract acquiring. If Arizona spent more efforts on waiver targeting, acquiring mid-bottom 6 radar guys on other teams who may be available, and doing more research to acquire guys like Nick Ritchie, who need to go somewhere with no immediate expectations, to get a complete fresh start. The Yotes definitely need to get back on the ball, in regards to acquiring youth/prospects, and most notably...2 Consistently competing Goalies. DucksFan, who thinks the Yotes, could be in the playoffs, in the next 3-5 years.*

They really need to relocate this team, it’s sad.

Please tell me if your Alex the rambler

How do the coyotes keep getting away with this!

My younger brother is a yotes fan. Not gonna be a fun time breakin him the news of the team being bought out. Feels bad his team has sucked since he started watching them lol

If Datsyuk was being paid by Phoenix how was he able to sign in Russia……. Kovalchuk had to walk away from his NJ contract to do it and Russians can’t sign here if under contract in Russia….

Also know as the talented players on a trash team club

Pretty sure they didn't even have to pay Datsyuk because he wasn't on LTIR he just didn't report for traininig camp, which they knew he was gonna do, therefore he doesn't get paid his NHL salary

good guy coyotes

They were good for like 5 years and other than that they’ve been terrible

#cap

e

You forgot Marc Savard

And to the few coyotes fans here….NO…..NO!…..you will never get Auston Matthews! He’s ours! And we aren’t giving him back!

Just let this team die in the desert- actually, send them to Québec!!!

The future Houston Bulls.
