Arizona laughs at that

More to that than just quoting me for no reason?

Okay.. so let's walk through this. VGK give up Martinez (old, expensive, often injured, still a very good player when he plays but that's been an issue lately. It would help VGK greatly to move his money out); Brossoit (a 29 year old perfectly serviceable backup goalie, however he's coming off a career worst season); Pachal (a lets say C- level prospect who is already 21, steady defenseman with very little offensive upside, profiles as at best a #5 defenseman in the NHL but even that seems like a long shot); Ahac (another defense first defenseman who doesn't look like anything more than an a #6 in the NHL if he even gets there... neither him or Pachal are even top 10 VGK prospects); and a 3rd

Here's what the Coyotes give up: Lawson Crouse (a 24 year old full time top 6 NHLer who just put up a 20 goal season with a career high in points too (shortened by injury, he would have flirted with 30 goals) despite spending most of his season being centered by Johan Larsson, and playing on a historically bad team); Karel Vejmelka (a 26 year old goalie who just handled starter duty and put up good results despite being behind a historically bad defense, he also just signed a 3 year extension to STAY IN ARIZONA, but apparently we're ignoring that)

So it nets out to VGK move out Martinez and his 5.25 mil for 2 years, a league average backup goalie and his 2.3 mil, and two prospects who may never even make the NHL. The Coyotes give up a top 6 winger and their starting goalie. So yeah that's why AZ laughs you out of the room with this crap trade.

Also on Crouse - if he were available on his own would net the Coyotes a 1st round pick and good prospect. Regardless he's not available, as the Yotes GM has said he's part of the core and resigning him is a priority.
