The Coyotes organization has some work to do with this kid. Hopefully, they educate him to become a better man.
No they don't.

This man is no longer a member of the Arizona Coyotes organization.

The victim must truly be stupid or misled. Should’ve waited a few more years til the guy made some NHL bucks and then ask for cash to help his healing.

Leafs bring back goaltender Hutchinson on a 2 year 2 way contract worth $725,000 per year. How many goalies do they need?

Maybe they'll put 2 in at a time.

Anderson signs 3 year deal for $750,000 per year, first two years are 2 way so he’ll probably end up with the Marlies.

He's the University of North Dakota's problem now.
Mitchell Miller is no longer a problem for the hockey team representing UND.

Well, every team must expose a goaltender to the Seattle Kraken for the expansion draft.
This would be part of the reasoning for Hutchinson's return to the blue & white.

If I'm not mistaken, I think you can only protect one goaltender.

I believe you are correct.
The only other goaltender (requiring protection) the Maple Leafs
have under contract beyond the 2020~21 season is Jack Campbell.

On the highway of life
He'll be waived, go unclaimed, and play for the Marlies. How can that be a bad thing. Leafs are not deep in net. They had to play Kaskisuo last year. They were caught with their pants down on that one. No Matthews joke there.
One injury duing the season is probable. Two at the same time is possible. Back to back games and you've got your 4th stringer in there.
2-way contract, so he doesn't require waivers. But Campbell and Dell do, and whichever one they decide to send down, there's a chance he gets claimed.

I just finished reading a couple articles in The Athletic.

The 1st: Ten Best Contracts in the NHL and 2nd, Ten Worst Contracts in the NHL.
Kyle Dubas's name is mentioned in both articles, he receives praise for a contract he negotiated (AM34)~as per the article, the 9th best contract in the league, and praise again for dealing away a horrible deal, that had been negotiated by Lou Lamoriello.

The way the articles are structured, it notes salary, expected performance, years remaining, among other factors.

Players mentioned as outperforming their contracts include David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand, Nathan MacKinnon, Leon Draisaitl, Shea Theodore, Nikita Kucherov, Jake Guentzel, Victor Hedman, Auston Matthews, McJesus, with honourable mentions to Teuvo Teravainen, Travis Konecny, Charlie McAvoy, Ryan Ellis, Steven Stamkos.

Players listed on the worst contract list include Drew Doughty, Marc~Edouard Vlasic, Jeff Skinner, Ryan Johansen, Oliver Ekman~Larsson, Nikita Zaitsev, Jacob Trouba, Justin Faulk, Mike Matheson, Josh Morrissey, with dishonourable mentions going to Erik Karlsson, Brady Skjei, Kevin Hayes, Logan Couture, Tyler Myers.

At one time I thought Zaitsev was pretty decent...
