Arizona is doing the Leafs a ton of favors here and there just isn't enough here for the Coyotes to accept the deal.
-Muzzin doesn't waive his NTC to leave Toronto, but even pretending he does: what value does a 33 year old with 2x$5.625M left on their deal have to a rebuilding Arizona team?
-Holl is a 30 year old pending UFA RHD - why is he someone that the Coyotes would want when he's just likely to walk at the end of the year?
The Coyotes want a prospect, a younger roster player, and a 1st. I see all 3 of those things in here, sure, but I also see an extra $7.625M heading to the desert and only a 2024 2nd accompanying it. I just don't see it being a deal that lines up - Toronto has the horses to make the deal if there's no salary cap, sure - but they *have* to move significant cap if they want to absorb Chych's $4.6M and that's when the cost gets too expensive to justify the move.
