That's a tough time to be a Coyotes fan. 2/3 of their regular defenseman are going ufa (Goligoski, Hjlarmarsson, Demers, Oesterle) and Raanta is probably gone too. For a team that realies so much on defense that's hard. Oh yeah and they don't have their 1st pick this year and they don't have a coach as we speak for next season. With all that I don't think this is the great time to begin to shop OEL around as this team needs stability. As the season goes they'll probably trade Kuemper and Kessel around, but for this offseason I expect only one major signature and that will probably be for a scorer as this team lack one of those and yeah they will probably overpay because Arizona isn't the most interesting market. Besides that they'll sign veteran like Ceci to plug holes and play on the top 4 and again probably will need to overpay for that. They probably targeting a top 4 like Barrie on the ufa, but again with all the uncertainty around this team I don't expect most of the big guys to sign there, so I expect a long and painful season for them next year.
