I don't know why you would think of such a thing? How would that improve the Coyotes?I don’t know why Arizona would do those. Think they’d want cap dumps + future
OEL is already on record saying that he'll only waive for Boston and Vancouver, And Yandle wants to play on the east coast only. So i seriously doubt he has any interest in going back to Arizona.To PHI:

I’m sure Yandle would love to go back to Arizona if Florida doesn’t want him and made it clear that they want him gone. I doubt there’s a credible link anywhere that shows he’s only willing to play on the East coast because I’m sure it’s not true. I suspect that outside of Florida, Arizona is on his top five list.OEL is already on record saying that he'll only waive for Boston and Vancouver, And Yandle wants to play on the east coast only.

For circumstances that have already changed. Last off season had very little to do with this one.Why only Boston and Vancouver is he some 2011 Stanley Cup Finals super fan
I don't think he really was serious last year. It all seem like a knee jerk reaction.For circumstances that have already changed. Last off season had very little to do with this one.
If a second consecutive Coyotes front-office tells OEL they want him gone, while having already thrown Stepan, Hjalmarsson, Goligoski and Demers overboard, I think it gets a lot easier for OEL to move along.I don't think he really was serious last year. It all seem like a knee jerk reaction.
But this year, and thinking about it for a year?
Supposedly Vancouver for the Swedish presence not sure of Boston, But all the insiders said he'd only waive for those 2 teams. Maybe this year things change and he's willing to waive for more places.Why only Boston and Vancouver is he some 2011 Stanley Cup Finals super fan
First off it wasn't speculation, OEL only wanting to waive for Boston or Vancouver was very real. Supposedly Boston had no interest in him even with Krug leaving. But it's a known fact that Jim Benning was trying to clear cap for him and was just unable to do it. If there's talk about him possibly being available again this year. Perhaps he opens up to more teams.Last summer. Speculation has already begun for this summer.
I don’t believe that’s correct. I believe Boston had an offer on the table, in fact.First off it wasn't speculation, OEL only wanting to waive for Boston or Vancouver was very real.

I’m aware. “Speculation” is for this offseason. We shall see if he waives for more teams this summer.First off it wasn't speculation, OEL only wanting to waive for Boston or Vancouver was very real.

The last offer from the Canucks was reportedly Virtanen, Sutter, a future 1st and a 2nd. The last bid was reportedly a bid against themselves (lol-Benning) but the Bruins were in it until the night before OEL’s deadline, IIRC. Wouldn’t be surprised if DeBrusk was offered along with a 1st or 2nd or maybe a prospect like Vaakanainen or Beecher.Yes but not an aggressive offer.
edit: Obviously, as the deal was never done.
But my understanding is that the interest was tepid with the contract. Don’t think you will find one Bruins fan that wishes the Bruins offered enough to get AZ to give him up at this point.
Kessel had a good year and only has 1 year left on his deal. It's rumored Florida wants to be rid of Yandle. This seems like a reasonable way for Florida to get out of that contract while maintaining their ability to compete.The Panthers wouldn't want Kessel even if it means getting rid off Yandle's contract in the process. They'd be just introducing another incompatible player who's on a downswing of his career.
Yandle with no retention + 4th for Duclair + Luostarinen + 1st.

I also heard a rumor that Florida fans want to move on from Bob. OEL + Kessel + Kuemper for Yandle + Bob + Montembault + Lundell? Florida gets younger with OEL, a better goalie (if they chose to keep him) in Kuemper and shed cap space for their cup asperation. I'm sure every Coyotes fan that reads my post will hate it. Wouldn't be surprised if Florida fans weren't too keen either but it does seem like a decent way for both teams to move forward, even if AZ ultimately bombs this deal.
