Compared to the Shea Weber deal, he can at least get a roster player back.

Muzzin + 5th round pick in 2024 for Liam Kirk

Come on man, that's not nice to say those things about the leafs

Why does Arizona need to incur a useless $2 million cash outflow? It's not as if they need a cap hit to reach the cap floor -- they're within $5.3 million of it now with 10 -- count 'em, TEN -- roster slots to fill, so they couldn't avoid hitting the cap floor if they tried.

So they’re able to trade their star players like Keller and Schmaltz for more prospects and picks. Thus keeping the cap above the floor but the actual dollars low. A Bettman speciality.

AZ can't continue trading their best players forever. At some point, their rebuild needs to end. And they have like 30 picks over the next 3 drafts already.

They’re a budget conscious franchise. They always spend as little as possible and honestly it doesn’t seem like they care about being competitive.

Guys like Keller and Schmaltz aren’t in their window anyways. Move them sooner to get more assets for future trades. & I know it was reported that Keller doesn’t want out but usually where there’s a little bit of smoke there’s at least a little bit of fire. I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s not happy if they don’t get an arena to play at and wants out soon. So getting players with high cap hits makes it easier to only get picks and prospects for him

Keller has 5 more years and wants to be in AZ they're higher than Snoop Dogg if they trade Keller unless it's an unbelievably outrageous overpay buy someone. Tell yourself what you need to justify a garbage return for a team to help the leafs Laffs fans like you are comical. Leaf fan= rational hockey knowledgeable people. Laffs fans = everyone is expected to do what's in the best interest of the TML

this acgm is literally muzzin for a seventh, it isn't that deep
