Deal.

I'm not saying value isn't there on both sides. Obviously not a 50/50 split.

But why does Arizona want to do this?

Right now there isnt much reason. My mind was just wondering to a year or so down the road. Maybe in the event Arizona misses playoffs again next year and they get frustrated. Really no substance to it, just a thought.

Just under 9m in cap hits right now. I hope ARZ grabs another FA or two. I think they're really close to being a strong team.

for sure, but trading Keller doesnt make them a better team

Adding the FAs and keeping Keller is what I meant.

I would do this without the 2nd and if ARZ takes on a bad contract

Im a Rangers fan as well so I'm with you but I dont think that's possible. Keller's price may very well be even higher than what I proposed honestly
