Giving up way too much for Boedker, especially when he has to get resigned after this season. Also, we do not want Michalek back and he is worth Ian Cole 1:1.

First of all, there are several teams that would want Kessel. Just because he isn't having the best year doesn't mean that teams don't know how good of a player he is. Teams like Anaheim, Minnesota, and Nashville are just a few of many teams that would pursue Kessel. I just think those 3 teams would be the most aggressive. They may not be straight up deals for just Kessel, but I can think a a trade that would be good for both teams with Anaheim, Minnesota, AND Nashville. The trade you proposed is bad. You trade away highly skilled Kessel, one of the better forward prospects the pens have, and well...Ian Cole plus the pick for one of the worst defensemen for the Coyotes and a very good Boedker. I wouldn't even trade just Kessel for Boedker and Michalek. Especially given what we gave up to get him less than a year ago.
