Thread: Keller
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>thats a massive haul for him lol.

10-12oa in a deep draft
high end center prospect
high end RSD prospect
another top 50 pick

its Clayton Keller... hes a ppg player on a fair to good contract dont glorify him lol</div></div>

Perhaps my previous comment was misleading. It is not a drastic overpayment, and that would be what it takes to pry Keller out. PPG winger on one of the worst teams in the league, on a bargain bin contract with 5 years remaining starting next year, and more than likely to be the next captain of the Yotes, that offer is a lowball.

You say that Lapierre is a high end C prospect. Just as a comparable, he isn’t better than Ryan Suzuki, and Suzuki isn’t considered to be a “high end C prospect”. I am a fan of Lapierre, but he is not as high end as you believe him to be. Plus, C is the last position Arizona would go for, considering they have Cooley and Geekie in the pipeline, Hayton with the Yotes, and I won’t rule out the possibility that a big name C ends up signing there within the next couple of years. As for what I have seen from Iorio, which hasn’t been that much, he is a bit more of a mystery Wild card to me. Besides, Keller is one of their biggest revenue generators. Unless a team is reaching into their untouchable purse, there is no reason for the Yotes to sell Keller.
