Now, this I could great into. Keller is a bit of a gamble, because of his production numbers with this cap hit. However, he has already signed his age fits with the team rebuild, he is Right Shot, and if he has chemistry with Stuzlte on the 2nd line, then he won't get as bad line match ups as he has been seeing in Phoniex and would probably see a nice spike in Offensive numbers.
As for the return, I think you go with Brnastrom + (White/Terirney/Pick a Vet) + 1st

I like the idea... but wouldn't give up a prime piece like Ridly Greig or Ottawa's 2022 first though
6 years left after this season, which is a lot (and 3 more years than White). Like Borocop said, we'll have a lot of contracts to sign in the near future. Acquiring Keller could mean that we wouldn't be able to re-sign Connor Brown for example...
Quoting: Borocop
i think keller is alright but probably not in the sens best interest to commit to his contract especially if he cant produce at the value of his contract. Before his contract expires theyll need to re-sign, norris, stutzle, pinto, sanderson, zub, brown, JBD, paul, gustavsson and more. Some of those pieces are probably replaceable to be fair but they're likely going to see a pretty durastic overall payroll increase for their core pieces and i dont know if its worthwhile to go for him if it means risking losing even 1 of their core guys. Theyll deffo need to add a pretty significalt piece or 2 to get it through

Brannstrom + White + 1st would probably be a good package

What about something like this
To Ottawa: Keller, Lybushkin
To Arizona: White, Braanstrom, Zaitsev, 2023 2nd (could be 2022 but helps the Yotes spread their draft capital out a bit).
