Throwing Haymakers Podcast: Episode 9<\/h2>\n

LISTEN TO PODCAST HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

On Episode 9 of the Throwing Haymakers Podcast, the boys are joined by fellow LWOH writer Bill Grigsby<\/a>, who offers his take on the plethora of storylines surrounding the Arizona Coyotes<\/a> organization. A lively conversation also takes place surrounding the entertaining Western Conference Final.<\/p>\n

The Coyotes find themselves in a serious bind. Already being a cash-strapped organization, the financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are extremely detrimental to the club. Star players such as\u00a0Taylor Hall<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Oliver Ekman-Larsson<\/a><\/strong>, and\u00a0Darcy Kuemper<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>may not be back with the team next season<\/a>. The team needs to dump player salaries, and fast. Ekman-Larsson has been linked to the Calgary Flames<\/a> by Elliotte Friedman<\/a>. Any team in the market for a goalie would be interested in Kuemper with his value-effective cap hit.<\/p>\n

With Hall, the boys discuss the possible formation of a Colorado Avalanche<\/a> superteam. Brandon also entertains the pipe dream of an Alberta reunion with the Edmonton Oilers<\/a> and\u00a0Connor McDavid<\/a><\/strong>. They also discuss the prospect of the Coyotes potentially trading Hall’s negotiation rights prior to October 9th. Every draft pick counts for the team after being hit by league sanctions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Staying out West, they check-in with the Vegas Golden Knights<\/a> and Dallas Stars<\/a>. All acknowledging that it’s been a closer series than many thought, the crew all concede that the Golden Knights are still the likely victors.<\/p>\n

Brandon, Josh, Mat, and Bill also take some time to discuss potential landing spots for\u00a0Tyler Toffoli<\/a><\/strong>. While he’s expressed interest in re-signing with the Vancouver Canucks<\/a>, nothing is for certain.<\/p>\n

Check back in with us next week for Episode 10!<\/p>\n
