<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bwhsocal</b></div><div>no but would have to be a huge overpay, there is zero reason for AZ to trade either for picks (have a million) or prospects (have deep pool-unless maybe a A+ one is available), they arent in market for past prime guys to win this year, so only reason would be to upgrade with coming into prime top D or top C under good contract and cant see anyone giving that up.

on this trade is 30yo CC better than 25yo durzi ? is a late 1st that needed when have 20 x 1-3round picks in next 3 years?, is bourgault a top D prospect? AZ has a ton on D prospects</div></div>

Now we are talking about what the appropriate compensation is, which is a different conversation. And your comments are fair.

Ceci is not better than Durzi - that's the whole point from the Edmonton side of things. That doesn't mean he's valueless to Arizona.

Knowing now that Durzi is a pending RFA, I agree that the compensation would need to be higher. The package of players, picks and prospects would need to be enough that the Coyotes can use them in the offseason to fill the void from Durzi &amp; Bjugstad with change left over. Whatever that amount is.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>uphere</b></div><div>Most fans, including many Oiler fans, do not recognize the vast improvement in Barrie's game down the regular season stretch and throughout the playoffs; he played a sound 2-way game and was a legitimate top-4 defender on a team that made it to the Conference finals. Given his remaining term and AAV, he should easily be worth more than a 3rd round pick from any team with $4.5M in cap space and a need for a mobile RHD with elite-level power play credentials.</div></div>

Agreed. I think a 3rd rounder is a low return. I didn't want to be a Homer for the Oilers, but i think moving 22 is worth it for the cap relief and the fact that Bouchard duplicates his skillset for way less money.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>It doesn't make sense on the Islanders end - I'm not going to argue whether Mayfield or Barrie is the better player, but Mayfield plays RD3 for the Isles and is paid $1.45M - more or less what you want to pay your bottom pair guys. Barrie would be replacing Mayfield (I don't think he knocks Pulock or Dobson out of RD1/2) but makes $4.5M. Doing that kind of trade without addressing the hole on the left side of the D depth chart is just not smart asset management.

I also can't see Arizona trading one of their best assets for an LTIR contract and a couple of late 1sts, nor can I see Buffalo taking Zack Kassian back after all these years if you're only including a 5th (they don't need retention if you're dumping him, they have plenty of cap space.)</div></div>

Point taken on Barrie and Kassian trades. I think it's reasonable to think Barrie can be moved for a D man <em>like</em> Mayfield, even if it's not Mayfield specifically. I probably should have increased the compensation for the Kassian cap dump - Buffalo also may not be the right destination.

On the Chychrun trade, I gotta disagree. I think two 1sts and a 2nd is very fair for a guy who requested a trade. Maybe they'll do better than that, but I don't think that's out of line at all.
