Thats a heavy price to pay for 2 pending UFAs

I like Keller but at the end of the day he'd add to our collection of high paid players that don't produce like they should while giving up our best forward (even though he's a pending UFA). I don't think this would be a good move for either team. Arizona would be looking to get young players in return.

Just what Arizona SHOULDN'T be doing -- giving up Keller and their next first for two rentals (no matter how good).

He's underproduced the last two seasons. And in the 2018-19 season he was selected as an allstar

I don't see that he's underproduced this season. Annualized, he had a better year this year than he did in 2018-2019 or 2019-2020. Over 82 games, he would have recorded 50 points or more and that would have been his second-best year. And as the team grows, both he and the Coyotes will improve, in my opinion. You'll see.
