Start with the 8th overall for Keller

Even at 6mill, I don't think the avs will be very interested in Kuzy. He'd more then likely be one of there last choices in the trade market for their two c

Yeah, I doubt that this package really gets it done. I mean, Mantha is a dump, and one of the 2nd should be utilized there. That leaves a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Lapierre for Keller. Doubt the Yotes would have much interest in Lapierre considering they have Cooley and Geekie in the pipeline, Hayton beginning to come into his own, and potentially a big name UFA Center next off season. I don’t doubt Lap would be a good middle 6 forward, but not really a need for the Yotes. So we are down to the 3 picks, which was good enough for 1 year of DeBrincat. I don’t think 5 years of Keller, at a very good cap hit mind you, will be sold that low. I would imagine 8OA would have to be included, as well as a young dman/ higher end dman prospect would at least start to get Arizona’s attention.

Not sure if that’s enough for TK. The 1st is too late, the 2nd is too far away, the goalie we don’t need, and the other prospect is meh at best

Do people really not realise how good Clayton is? These offers of abysmal. Starts with the 8th overall and Protas. That gets the conversation started only.

0 chance we get Keller without giving up the 8th overall pick. He is a bonafide super star on a bottom tier team. He'd put up 100 points on a contending team. He's also young and on arguably the best contract in the league. 8th pick plus Lapierre is probably the starting point.
