Quoting: MapleLeafsPhanatic
If Keller doesn't believe in the future in Arizona this might be one of the best offers they get, a superstar and a B level prospect. Also helps them stay above the cap floor because of how big Marners AAV is, plus lots of his contract has already been paid out in signing bonus money from the leafs. From a pure business perspective which is seemingly how the yotes have been operating, this makes the most sense.

So what if Keller doesn't believe in the future (of hockey)in Arizona.........no one does.
How is Marner THAT much better Keller based on last season. Keller seven more goals than Marner, Marner did have thirteen more points. Keller's on a great five years team friendly . Marner's two year contract isn't that special value. Keller for Marner would be robbery for the Leafs.
Then you want the Coyotes to trade a NHL winger Crouse, a excellent first rounder, a meh winger Fischer for a prospect Robertson.
Sorry bud, your proposed trade is terribly one sided in favour of the Leafs.
