Keller to CGY for :
Lucic, Coronato, 1st in 2023 and a conditional 3rd (becomes a 2nd if CGY makes WCF in 2022-23)
Keller would obviously make CGY a better team
While Lucic can be used to meet Cap Floor either in a Retain and Trade Scenario next year once the Kuemper RS is done
Kessel to TML for :
Kerfoot,Ritchie and a conditional 2nd in 2022 that becomes a 1st if TML wins the Stanley Cup
Kessel with 2m retained gives TML Added strength on wing but most important more Goals on PP with 2 cups on TML dime while leading the league in PP Production and will be a depth weapon capable of 20-30+ goals a year.They Lose a couple depth players they like but the cap works and they still skate a stronger roster
ARZ flips Nick Ritchie to a Contender for a premium this year on a good contract then Kerfoot next year at the TDL to get its real reward for letting Kessel go
Schmaltz to MTL for :
Byron ,Lehkonen,Primeau ,Top 10 protected 1st round pick and a 3rd in 2023
Schmaltz has to take a cap dump to come close to Dvoraks Value as CD was a seasons worth of goals ahead in the past 2 years while leading the team in virtually every other catagory for less money.
The upside here for ARZ is MTL is desperate and in win now mode.Schmaltz isnt a strong FO guy but he's a good 3rd line option behind Dvorak. After Poehling our Center depth is Merky at best for 2-3 years minimum so the term isnt a huge issue
