Kessel

Description
Condition on the picks - if Dallas gets past the 2nd round the 2022 3rd turns into a 2023 2nd, and if the Stars win the cup the 2022 2nd turns into a 2022 1st.

Arizona flips Dobby to Edmonton for Koskinen and a 2nd.

Why this works for Dallas?- They get a top 6 scoring forward which gives them a solid chance at the cup, while they get rid of Dobby which lets Oettinger play in the NHL. They lose a couple of picks, but they’ll only lose the higher ones if they have success in the playoffs which would be a great swap for them. Also Carcone gives the AHL squad some help.

Why this works for Arizona?- Kessel won’t re-sign with them and will likely get traded this year, in return they get a serviceable goalie for only one year, they get two 2nds and a 3rd to help their re-build. With the roster that Dallas would get in this deal it would be somewhat likely they’ll get past the 2nd round so Arizona could likely get three 2nds out of this, and potentially a 1st instead of one of those 2nds if Dallas wins the cup, which is less likely than the last scenario, but still has a chance of happening. So best case scenario for the Yotes is that they get a new starting goalie for this year (considering who's in net for them this year), a 1st and two 2nds for Kessel and adding about 1 million to their cap for only this year. Worst case scenario they get a 3rd instead of the 1st. It's a high risk high reward deal for them, but it can pay off immensely if that gamble works out, and even if it doesn't they still get a not too bad of a return.

Why this works for Edmonton?- They get a 1A/1B tandem with Dobby and Smith while saving 1 million in cap space. Edmonton gets a solid workhorse who’s great in the playoffs while getting rid of Koskinen for only a 2nd. Edmonton's goaltending in the playoff has been so so in the last few year, so getting Dobby who led Dallas to the finals with a .917 SV% while getting rid of Koskinen who makes about 1 million more than Dobby and had .889 SV% in his last postseason appearance could help them there, Smith had a .912 last year in the playoffs so adding Dobby's .917 could give Smith some support. Now I'm not saying Dobby will repeat what he did in the bubble, but he's always been clutch when he needed to, they just have to keep his work rate lower than a starting goalies average, he isn't a starter, but he isn't a backup, he's in between. If they keep him in between he can put up some good numbers.

I'm not a Edmonton or Arizona fan so my takes on those teams needs could be 100% wrong. If you're a fan of either of those teams you can enlighten me on what I could change or if this is a good deal for your team.

I would not mind at all getting soemone who knows how to put the black thing in the net.

Not sure we would have to give that much.

Kessel wants out of Arizona and they are limited in the number of teams he wants to go. Maybe, Nill would not have to give conditions on these picks.

Kessel vs Bowness = Fun to watch as much as it is fun to watch Radulov vs Bowness.

Those conditions are the farthest I'd go if Arizona has other offers to look at. If we can get the deal done without them it would be great for us, but if other teams beat that, I'd be more than happy to pay more to get a bigger chance of winning the cup.
