Jordan is a little under the weather so I'm back doing links for the day. Jordan requested the title, though I fail to recognize the importance of the scruffy sideburns. There's been some activity in COyote land what with resigning Scottie Upshall and all, and supposedly there was some other important thing that happened last night, but I'm having issues remembering what that was exactly... hmm... oh well. To Los Liiiiinnnnks!
Coyotes manager rips Canadian media
The biggest article yesterday was out of Canada and was also quoted in the Phoenix Business Journal. GM Don Maloney went off, more or less on the Canadian media and what a total disgrace they've been (Our favorite Globe & Mail to be precise.) The article also says that Maloney won't be resigning Robert Lang or Mathieu Schneider.

Don Maloney talks the offseason and Scottie Upshall. If you look on the right there are more Coyotes vids to keep you occupied.

The Canadian Press: Phoenix Coyotes re-sign Upshall to 1-year contract; still rehabbing from surgery
Just a quick blurb about the contract and resigning Scottie. Hooray!

Thanks Travis...
A combination of not enough sleep, Flyers losing the Cup, and a few drinks do not make for a productive blogger. I suppose I should’ve made the title “Captain Muttonchops . . .” but it’s good as is.
Now that GMDM is ripping apart the Canadian media, maybe he’d like to grant some credentials to some local media to report on the ins and outs of the Coyotes…just saying!

My sympathies on the loss.
still, I can see the flyers having another solid year 2010-2011 – could we even see a Flyers/Coyotes stanley cup?
I drool at the prospect

I agree that a lot of the pieces are there for the Flyers. And considering the cap issues that Chicago is up against, the West shouldn’t be subject to a dynastic run from them right now. For the Coyotes, there are so many questions with ownership and free agency that I’m not sure they’ll be contenders for a cup next year (in the postseason where anything can happen, yes…winning 3 series…I’m not sure).
But it’s still a heck of a lot better than 3 years ago when they finished 29th and 30th in the league…

A couple thoughts..
- Seems like Stempniak might be a priority to GMDM, as ESPN says Lombo and Z are gone, and so are Shneider and Lang. After Stempniak’s production post-trade, he’d be foolish not to scoop him up for the long term.
- Lots of thought needs to be put into RFAs and UFAs, as our farm system’s brightest stars don’t look like they’re ready for prime time. Chicago’s got Sharp and Byfuglien, and Hjarmallsssosossnsosiosososn as possible ways of trimming the fat on Chicago’s roster next year. We "should’ start a rosterbation post about wants/needs during the offseason, but here we go again. If the owner mess had been cleaned up long ago, we’d possibly be in the race for a Marleau or a Kovalcuk. Okay, maybe not in the race, but at least we could honestly fantasize about it.
- -Ice Edge hired a company called ’High Ground". This seems hysterically ironic to me, yet scary as Hell.
- The Upshall signing is a great show of confidence, especially since he’s still rehabbing. He should be a piece of the puzzle for some time to come.

my thoughts on your thoughts
-I agree with Stempniak as a priority. Dude had some sick production and hopefully he can continue that. Being said I don’t want GMDM to overcommit to him…$2.5M max
-Definatly look at some RFA’s and UFA’s. Kovalcuk could be a great addition to give us some scoring power – not to mention some star power. Marleau would be good too.
-Hiring a top PR firm is scary?
-Agree upshall signing is a good sign.

opps
Ment to say for Stempers 3.5 max – I don’t see him getting a salary increase but certainly not a decrease.

When it's called 'High Ground', yes.
We know what’s gonna happen when the flood gates open. xD
