Thread: Whats with all the Chychrun trades
The only deal the Coyotes are accepting for the Pens is one where you pay them to take Zucker or Pettersson. Pens just aren't a fit for a Chychrun trade because you don't have any blue chip prospects and any first rounders coming back at likely to be in the mid 20s which just isn't commensurate value with what other teams can offer. In this specific deal, I'm sorry but POJ doesn't equate to 1st round value, he's already 22 and has yet to break through, he's shown some flashes in the AHL but he's almost aged out of being a prospect and doesn't project more than a #5 in the NHL and that's best case scenario. Taking back Pettersson in this deal makes it cap neutral for the Pens and that's a win for them, in isolation the Pens would have to pay the Coyotes to take him so that's not returning value to the Yotes. Légaré is already 21 and coming off of a rather uninspiring AHL campaign, he just doesn't move the needle for me. So I guess Blomqvist is this prize here?? I yes he's a promising young goalie but he's not a blue chip prospect. It's just not a fit

Thread: Chychrun Kessel
I like the value of this trade. Turcotte and Grans are top 5 Kings' prospects and the 1st rounder is good value. However, Walker is a fine player, but he's coming off a massive injury and he's already 27 which doesn't fit the Yotes timeline at all. I know he's in there to make the money almost even but if you want the Coyotes to take him back in this trade you'd have to add another piece, because frankly it helps the Kings too much if he's in this trade. Walker has been passed on the right side by Roy, Durzi, and Spence and moving out his money would be big win for the Kings, if he was healthy this would be a different story. So if he's in the deal I think the Kings need to add a bit more, be it another pick (likely a 3rd) or another prospect that is outside of the Kings top 12 in their system (like Simontaival).

But on the whole this is a fair trade, which is better than 99.9% of what you see on this site, so good job

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.
