Isles aren’t returning your call bro. This trade makes me sick to my stomach. They get worse and more expensive and they don’t get anything out of it.

You're right, I should have retained 50% on Mayfield.

Don’t be a 🤡

Fine 😂

What picks/prospects you want?

I don’t think the isles can get fair value for mayfield at this point. They would’ve gotten a haul at the last deadline, but at this point I don’t expect more than a Manson level return at the deadline.

-SDA isn't all that attractive of a prospect. The goal for a Mayfield trade is the Josh Manson package (a 2nd and a B+ prospect) so it would have to be a 2023 2nd and someone behind the Robertson/Niemela/Knies level of prospect. Isles can retain if needed, and they'll take back Justin Holl if you need to make the cap work, but at that point you're moving him for cap purposes and can't really assign him much, if any, trade value.

-Kerfoot isn't an attractive option for the Coyotes, and again, you need to move Kerfoot to sign Hayton, so he's minimal value here. That makes the package Abruzzese and a 2024 1st for Hayton - I could still see the Coyotes pushing for maybe a Hirvonen instead, but it's not a terrible deal if they're unhappy with Hayton's production to date. Might be a bit of an overpay from the Leafs side but it gets them compliant so that's a solid win for them.

Give you Holl, Villeneuve, and Ottawa's 3rd.

I'm down to upgrade to Hirvonen from Abruzzese.

Kerfoot and his 750,000 in actual cash to be paid shouldn't be that difficult to get rid.....but his M NTC probably doesn't include Arizona.
Leafs really don't need a 2m Hayton or something similar returned in any deal.

The Coyotes plan on running Cooley, Hayton & McBain down the middle if everything goes as planned. Yes, they currently have Boyd & Schmaltz; however, those guys won't remain in Tempe for too long given that their contract-production correlation happens to be at premium levels for trading away. Once those two are moved, Cooley & Hayton will become close to locked in for the foreseeable future. McBain if anything could be pried away, but even so, his frame and work ethic are valued highly
