I think Buffalo would for sure be interested in this trade but what is the "top 10 protection"? Buffalo is picking between 1 and 3

Hyman would end the year with like 34 points tho 😐

Legit

Has played every game of career beside elite scorers

I appreciate what you're trying here, but as a Coyotes fan I can tell you certain things are off. First 0 chance Brassard or Osterle are brought back, both were healthy scratches down the stretch of this season in favor of people like Dryden Hunt and Jason Demers. So neither is getting brought back let alone at raises. Second, I know his contract is big but you're selling low low on Keller. He's 22 hasn't missed a game in 4 years and has never played with an elite center. The protection on the Buffalo trade means you're not getting an elite pick, also in a down draft year. Further the Coyotes have no use for the services of Collin Miller and Bjork doesn't move the needle at all.

Third, your UFA signings are hit and miss. Tyson Barrie is an absolute no, yes he's right handed but he's not the kind of defenseman this team needs. We have puck movers in OEL and Chychrun and anyone who watched even a second of EDM this year knows Barrie's job was as easy as "make a 5 foot pass to 97 or 29 and get out of the way" he's a mess in his own end as well. What the Coyotes need on the backend and what GM Bill Armstrong has said he wants is size and more size. Poolman is good fit for that. You overpaid Saad, though he would be a great fit, same with Hyman you overpaid but he would fit what they are looking for. But the big thing is this team is gonna have an internal cap around 68-70 million. No chance they spend anywhere even close the cap.
