Thread: Shall We Go One Sinning
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Literally that doesn’t even start the conversation. Chychrun is better than Seth Jones and Girard is as good as Chychrun. You’re talking the equivalent of 3 1st rd picks for COL to be compelled to even listen. Girard is metrics monster, that produces 30pts season in season out without PP1 time, who is at most the 59th highest paid dman for the next half decade which is all in his 20’s. I mean it’s ridiculous that you would even think that starts the conversation. Epically bad. Awful. In fact the suggestion sucks.</div></div>

Then what should start the conversation that also makes sense for the Coyotes? You're not moving any of your own 1st rounders, you're not moving any of your top prospects. Chychrun doesn't make sense since that's a lateral move, so where would a conversation start?

Girard is great, specifically in transition, and he does a good job of producing primary points, so again I'm not suggesting he's bad or just making 5 foot passes to forwards and then doing nothing.. but he also struggles to defend the rush and in his own zone. He was neutralized significantly in the VGK series last year so he's not perfect.

Also the idea didn't start and end with the Yotes, the idea was good you get good value for Girard from the Yotes and in addition to that value use the freed up cap space to make other upgrades. Suggesting there isn't even a conversation to be had is pretty childish

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Ridley Greig is going to be a top 6 forward . It’s close, probably needs a bit more but I’m also not the biggest Keller fan.</div></div>

It's not close.. Brannstrom is MASSIVE question mark who while pedigreed has shown little to nothing in the NHL he holds little to no value. White hasn't played in almost a year, and the last time he did play he was coming off back to back putrid seasons, he's a negative value asset. Greig is a nice prospect but that's all he is.. a prospect. The 2022 2nd is a good pick since it'll be in the low 30's but if the draft happened today and the lottery followed the standings the Coyotes already have 8 picks in the top 50 (#1, 30 (Canes), 32 (Avs), 34 (Flyers), 38 (NYI), 42 (SJS) and 46 (Van)) they don't need another 2nd rounder.

Here's what Clayton Keller is.. First, he's 45 points (21 goals) in 51 games this year that's a 33 goal 72 point pace, on a historically awful team. Second, He's 340 consecutive games played (availability is a great ability). 3rd. He's younger than Colin White FWIW so he fits an AZ rebuild timeline, and he's locked up with term on a contract he's now performing up to they have no incentive to trade him at all. It's a bad trade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tripsevs777</b></div><div>Maybe he'd do it if ARZ promises to waive him. You're right tho I bet he wouldn't go there, so dumb of Drury to give that contract an NTC</div></div>

Exactly or maybe AZ lines up another immediate deal to get Nemeth somewhere he's happy with. I'm a Yotes fan and if this was the return on Kessel it'd think it was fair and I love Phil's fit with the Rangers too, I just don't know if Nemeth does it.. idk maybe if Drury and the coaching staff tell Nemeth he's been passed by Jones etc and he could at least play by going to AZ.

One other option too and I know it would sting since he was part of the Buch trade, but Sammy Blais was a Bill Armstrong draft pick in Stl and his 1.5 mil could help (if the Coyotes retain on Kessel) Kessel (50% retained) for Blais and lower pick (like a 3rd) could also work
