Not a chance the Hawks accept that, would rather have a 3rd and the market may be heating up for Laf so might land a late 2nd

Hahahaha, love how you threw Murray into the ARZ trade. I think at this point, you'd have to retain and give up a 2nd, upping what OTT paid to offload him.

Does ARZ take 6 players including 3 with little or negative value for one AND retain for 3 years?

And Samsonov, as the teams number 1, will want more than 3mil.

And why re-sign anderson, mete, hollowell, kral, etc... they are not good enough for NHL and wont be in 23-24 either.

And while you've saved Matthews and nylander money, Lafferty/Giordano/Brodie/Liljegren will all need to be replaced by lge minimum deals to make it work.

Ultimately wont work, because those other teams, those UFAs/RFAs are not automatons and actually can and will say no to those weak offers

Why would the Coyotes be retaining on Chychrun for 2 years when he's already one of the best value contracts in the league?
