The Arizona Coyotes will be compelling to watch in the
weeks leading up to the trade deadline on Mar. 2. The
direction from new ownership is to get younger, prepare
for a strong draft in June and cut payroll. And this
position isnt to protect the bottom line of an
organization with a deep history of financial distress.
Its a more common sense approach for a club that needs to
stabilize its foundation for long-term success. Weve
openly speculated on the availability of forward Antoine
Vermette and will continue to do so until Coyotes general
manager Don Maloney fetches the right return to make the
deal. The original asking price, according to a couple of
teams with interest, includes a prospect and a roster
player. Thats certainly not unreasonable for a player
with Vermettes talent, but it is steep based on his
status as a pending unrestricted free agent. Defencemen
Zbynek Michalek and Keith Yandle are also being batted
around potential trade circles and some believe its not a
matter of if these three players will be traded, but
when. That said, we shouldnt hear a lot of trade rumours
involving Coyotes captain Shane Doan. He has another year
remaining on his contract and has almost no interest in
making an in-season move. Doan remains committed to the
team and community and has seen the turmoil other veteran
players have endured when trying to chase a Stanley Cup.
His view may change during the offseason depending on how
aggressive Maloney is on the trade front. But theres just
as good a chance that he plays out his contract in
Arizona. Milestone For Mo On Tuesday night, Winnipeg Jets
coach Paul Maurice celebrated his 500th career NHL win as
the Jets thumped the Florida Panthers 8-2. Now those who
know Maurice also know that his skin crawls when hes
asked to talk about himself or his accomplishments. The
truth is, hes always gone about his business quietly and
even when pushed, hes not able to provide his Top 5
regular season wins. After all, in the world of a NHL
head coach - every win matters. But Maurice certainly
remembers his first game behind the bench for the
Hartford Whalers. He was nervous and realizing he was
living the ultimate on-the-job training after being hired
in just his third season of coaching. And he fondly
remembers his time spent at the Montreal Forum - feeling
like every play, every second of the game mattered to
every single person in the building. And of course, there
was seeing Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux for the first
time as opponents and wondering what he could say or do
to educate his players on how to stop two seemingly
unstoppable legends. While there have been many
meaningful games for Maurice (and hes reluctant to list
them in any particular order), guiding the Toronto Maple
Leafs to a Game 82 victory over the Montreal Canadiens in
2006-07 ranks high. The pressure and magnitude of that
night was cranked to extreme levels as Toronto teetered
on the cusp of the playoffs before being bumped out the
next day by the New York Islanders (who relied on Wade
Dubielewiczs goaltending heroics to beat the New Jersey
Devils and edge the Leafs out). While supporting his
family, his vast coaching experience includes several
other address changes - including one season with
Magnitogorsk in the KHL. Through all of it, Maurice has
learned you take nothing for granted. Hes been fortunate
to be part of some very good teams over the years and has
also worked through tough times as a head coach with
clubs that featured less talent. For the most part, hes
enjoyed it all and hes especially excited about his
current posting with a Winnipeg Jets team hes declared
the hardest working team he has ever coached. At just 47
years of age, Maurice will undoubtedly celebrate more
milestones. But 500 wins is special because hes earned
all of them the hard way. 3-on-3 Is For Me An update on a
story The Dreger Report has tracked all season. Leading
up to the GM meetings in March, the NHL will pay close
attention to the ongoing 3-on-3 overtime experiment in
the American Hockey League - which will help determine
whether or not to adopt the split formula next season.
The AHL plays seven minutes of overtime, which includes
three minutes of 4-on-4 followed by four minutes of 3-on-
3. And as the AHL approaches the midway point of its
season, the numbers clearly show 3-on-3 is limiting the
need for a shootout. There have been 136 overtimes in the
AHL to date. Among them 74.3 per cent have been decided
in overtime and 25.7 per cent have required a shootout.
According to the AHL, 64.7 per cent of overtime games
played last season went to a shootout prior to the league
adding the 3-on-3 option. Now heres a more specific
breakdown of this season: 2014-15: 101 OT goals scored 56
scored during 4-on-4 time (44 even-strength, 12 PP) 45
scored during 3-on-3 time (42 even-strength, 2 PP, 1 PS)
5 scored in first minute of OT 15 scored in second minute
of OT 19 scored in third minute of OT 13 scored in fourth
minute of OT 14 scored in fifth minute of OT 14 scored in
sixth minute of OT 21 scored in seventh minute of OT By
comparison, the NHL has produced 166 overtime games this
season, 90 of which have been decided by a shootout and
76 have ended with a goal in overtime. So the shootout
remains a dominant factor in determining games. However,
the changes introduced to reduce the number of shootouts
- such as changing ends for overtime - has encouraged
positive results. Last season through the same number of
NHL games, there were 170 that went to overtime - with 68
resolved in OT and 101 which went to the shootout. A six
per cent reduction in shootout games seems minimal
compared to the dramatic results the AHL is experiencing.
And that most definitely will be factored into the data
presented to NHL GMs in March before any recommendations
for change are made. But there are some around the league
who remain resistant to 3-on-3 and will build their
opposition around the significant number of goals scored
in the sixth and seventh minutes of the AHL experiment,
given the NHL plays five minutes of 4-on-4. So while the
numbers favour change at the mid-point of the season, a
slight reduction in shootouts in the NHL could also give
the traditionalists - and those who oppose the shift to
3-on-3 - enough clout to delay what appears to be
inevitable. As always, look for another edition of
Insider Trading this Tuesday on SportsCentre and TSN.ca.
Have a great weekend.

Wings have claimed the Klondike TSN Play of the Year
crown - and the final has only just started. Last year,
two plays by Pavel Datsyuk squared off for the title.
This year, its Tomas Tatar against teammate Gustav
Nyquist. Tatar made the final on a play where he
eliminated his defenders by running them clean into one
another. Streaking over the blue line, Tatar feels a pair
of Dallas defenders closing in on him. As Brenden Dillon
moves in for the big hit, Tatar hesitates and the Stars
d-man catches teammate Cameron Gaunce square on, sending
both players flying. Tatar resumes his drive and finishes
with a niftty backhand shovel that goes off Kari Lehtonen

Matt Carle and the Lightning defender appears initially
to do enough to prevent a goal, drawing a penalty in the
process. However, Nyquist shakes Carles grip and pounces
on the puck he just lost. From behind the goal line, he
still has the presence of mind to corral the puck and
toss it under a recovering Ben Bishop. You can watch the
