Description
Assuming the Michkov is available at the Habs pick and the Coyotes are behind them and want to move up to get him:

Arizona moves up and gets Michkov, a future 1st rounder, and a hefty LTIR to add multi-season tankapalooza. Also, since they're clearly not looking to win for another couple of years, waiting for his contract in the KHL to expire shouldn't bother them.
Rangers get a winger who will help them win now, who is objectively better right now than Lafreniere.
Habs get «un gars de chez nous» (signed for the same "show-me-contract" as Kirby Dach) and Carey Price off their books.

It's absolutely hilarious to think that if they wanted to move up one spot that they would include Keller.
It's absolutely more hilarious that you traded the stud Keller for Laf.

You've basically traded the Calgary 1st for Lafreniere and moved back 1 spot to unload Price's contract.
It could be sneaky good if the individual parts were at least within reason, but the Arizona trade is too unbalanced for such a sequence of events.

Price's contract doesn't have the separation between real dollars and cap hit that makes it valuable to Arizona. They aren't moving Keller for a 1st and one spot, and NYR would have a hell of a time fitting Keller.
