Arizona just being Arizona

arizona probably doesnt do that leafs trade but if they do then leafs accept

NSH declines. Looks like their patience with Tolvanen is finally paying off, and Keller's contract is a non-starter. The Preds have already had their share of guys who cashed in before they deserved it.

Nashville also can't afford to lose assets like Tolvanen and Pitlick who look like they have very bright futures for 1 player.

Nashville:

Too much to give up hoping that Keller produces up to his contract away from Arizona. Don't get me wrong, I like Keller but we can't take the risk that he ends up just being overpriced when we already have Joey/Duchene's contracts.

Pitlick should be a good 3C at least - maybe he becomes a little more than that - but I wouldn't hesitate to trade him and Tolvanen for a clear upgrade. I don't know that Keller is though, and he's already getting superstar money. It's an easy pass for me.
