Operation Scorched Earth

Untouchables or almost untouchable baring a massive overpayment

All veterans that either have 1 or 2 years left on contract and can all have salary retained if necessary | Value ranges from 2nd round picks to 4/5 round picks or B/C level prospects

UFAs that are most likely not coming or confirmed not coming back

RFAs with not a whole lot of value on the trade market

Keller entering his fourth season in the NHL is more than likely not to be traded unless a high end NHL Center or defensive prospects or already NHL caliber 1C or top 2 defensemen , he has potential to be a 90 point player and the contract is long and now look awful but could be good in the future

The Coyotes captain he hasn,t been good for a while and is willing to waive his NMC and he needs a change of scenery but hes still a very good defensemen that can get a lot of the open market anywhere from A prospects to multiple high end picks and or good young established NHL players

He has been alright putting up an on pace of 50 points , with a longer term deal in place i doubt he moves but if Schmaltz were to he probably get a 1st round pick or a couple of B level prospects

Chychrun had a very good season and is on his way to becoming a top 2 defensemen and he has a very sweet contract he doesnt move unless its for a top 5 draft pick or an elite level Center prospect

Hammer didnt have an elite season as a defensive defensemen but he still was pretty good and will provide leadership and amazing puck blocking abilities and a good stick i'm not entirely sure what his value is

The Heart and Sole of the Coyotes , Kuemper is a currently a top 5 goalie in the league and has a very good 2x4.5M contract , the coyotes are gonna need a lot for him for to move him i'm talking a 1st round pick and a decent prospect along with a goalie
