100% yes on Kessel. It makes our team better now. If we start making the playoffs we can justify a bigger budget with our rich new owner. We can lure more fans, which will increase revenue. Which will make an arena more attractive to the Indian Tribe. Which would make our dreams come true. Dominoes folks, it just takes one to fall.
I'm ok with adding Kessel as long as it's one of those deals where Pitt is basically dumping him in order to free up cap space. I want a deal involving a lot of spare parts, no A assets.

I won't support trading a 1st for a 31 year old. If we can Kessel without giving up key young assets then we should Kessel.

I feel like if a Kessel trade were to happen, it would happen closer to the start of camp. Mid to late August.

Craig Morgan answered questions in his monthly mailbag segment yesterday. Highlights:
- Sees the Coyotes still being a player in free agency, just probably not in on any big name heavily expensive players. Maybe Dzingel. (My take, if you haven't dismissed the Duchene idea yet please do now. Doesnt even sound like we invited him to a tour like Montreal and Nashville have.)
- Said he could see the Coyotes being in on Dzingel but hasn't heard that.
- Says he has heard that we were at least interested in Kreider at one point.
- Says Chayka keeps insisting that he has room to make some moves, even though we are sniffing the cap.
- Says Kessel seems like a longshot to him but only because Pittsburgh wants a hockey trade for him, rather than a package of lesser goods. Says he could easily see us being interested in Kessel and that the feeling is probably reciprocated by Kessel. Obviously it could happen if Pittsburgh changes it's mind. (My take, why not initiate a 3-way trade with Minnesota? Since there was already a trade agreed to around Zucker but nixed by Phil, see if Minny has interest in a package deal, get Zucker to the Pens, Fischer and friends to the Wild and grab Kessel.)
- Not to throw this thread off the rails, but still hearing nothing but positive things about the Coyotes sale to Meruelo. Nothing on the arena yet but there are many connected sources that believe it will get done.
- Scott Allen door still not closed, even though Craig feels it's unlikely he will return. That's just his feeling, but i think we can all agree. Once he gets more clarity, he will share.
- Insisted he believes Chayka has "one more move" coming soon. Said that a few times. He does not believe Soderberg was the sole transaction.

I'm fairly confident that had the trade for Soderstrom not transpired that we would have traded 14OV for Kreider. That's just me connecting dots. I think this was the better long term move for franchise.

We probably did invite these players (Duchene and Pavelski) and they probably politely declined. Then we promptly traded for Soderberg while we could.

Hopefully we’ll see one of those 11pm EST trades on a Saturday night in an attempt to bury this. He gets an underwhelming return but then signs Anders Lee on Monday morning and the hockey world moves on.
