As an Arizona fan, where is Lawson Crouse? He's not going to put up the same numbers as Simmonds but he does the same thing for the most part, bring that mean, physical presences the rest of the team is missing.
Arizona gets hosed in the Kessel trade. I understand he's a great goal scorer but he controls his own destiny for the most part and it's pretty well known that he really only wants to play for Pittsburg or Arizona at this point.
For Minnesota, don't think Arizona does that trade. Most of their prospects have graduated by now/been traded so the cupboard is looking a little dry for quality prospects, no sense in trading their 1st round pick for the 2nd time in 3 years. Also Goligoski has worked quite well for them and I'm not dismissing Spurgeon as a good player, but it's a fairly lateral move. Remember, Coyotes quietly had a very good season defensively, top 5 or so, so there's no real reason to break up the d-corps for now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>I agree with everything except Leafs part. Zaitsev is better than Demers. Maybe keep Oesterle who has been really good and trade Demers for Zaitsev which is fair trade.</div></div>

Doesn't matter that Zaitsev 'might' be better than Demers, he's still more valuable to Arizona than he would be in any trade. Plus, he's shown that he can play with OEL from time to time if he needs to.

Overall, the Yotes have a good defense right now and yes EK would be a nice add, he's not the ideal guy I'd love for them to go after in free agency (they've also spent lots of picks over the past couple of years on defensive prospects). No reason to trade Stepan as well, he's exactly what Arizona needs and Schmaltz isn't a great center.
