A fair return for Nylander ?

[Kin]

Keller stated a month ago he wants out of Arizona. So if he?s not wanting to go back what are the Coyotes options?

I mean, he's under contract for 5 years. They don't have to trade him just because he wants it. I'm sure there are lots of guys under contract who'd like to be traded.

But even then, they have the option of trading him for picks and prospects as opposed to someone making even more money than Keller but who isn't, in your view, appreciably better.

Nylander I?m sure in his list of teams has Arizona not included thus you need a 3rd team.

Right so why would this third team give Arizona what it would take to get Keller, again a player you think is roughly as good as Nylander, but then flip him to Toronto for the more expensive, older but not significantly better player?

Basically, in this proposal, you're saying you'd rather have Keller than Nylander but your trade proposal hinges on a team rather having Nylander than Keller.

I don't think you can circumvent a no-trade list by involving a 3rd team. I imagine that 3rd team would need to honor the no-trade list the player submits.

I think the idea is that Nylander would end up on the third team, one that presumably isn't on his list. So basically it would be two different trades. The third team trades Arizona what Arizona would want for Keller, then trade Keller to Toronto for Nylander.

Wow when I made the post it was basically a suggestion of what everyone thought of moving Nylander in some sort of trade involving Keller. Was talk a month or so ago supposedly from his Dad that Clayton wasn?t happy. Sounds like someone hacked the Dads twitter account. Having said that Keller has made comments about what he?d like to see from the team to keep him there. He doesn?t sound happy there with the arena bs etc. If Nylander is pricing himself out of Toronto and we could find a 3rd team to involve Keller I?d try and make a move. That?s all I was suggesting and wanted thoughts on it. Also if I posted it and some thought a deal was made that was not my intention and thus ended it with thoughts?

And you got thoughts on it. My thoughts were that a trade doesn't really make sense if one of the things it needs to happen is to find a team that wants to make a trade that you think wouldn't be very good(Which, again, is trading Keller for Nylander and then agreeing to pay Nylander 10 million instead of Keller 7 million).
