Arizona rejects latest trade offer from Buffalo

The Arizona Coyotes have put up the for sale sign and the Buffalo Sabres are interested. The 'Yotes made it known to the rest of the league, if someone on their roster interests you and is over the age of 25, please call them to let them know. Turns out the Sabres have called and it's been about Phil Kessel.

One problem, does Phil Kessel even want to play in Buffalo? With some trade protection, Buffalo is likely on the no-fly list for Kessel as he doesn't seem like the type who would want to leave Arizona to play somewhere like Buffalo. 

The Sabres are trying regardless to acquire the sniper, according to a rival league executive. Their latest offer included defensive prospect Oskari Laaksonen and a 2nd-round pick.

The Coyotes are searching for as many draft picks as possible in any trade, but for Kessel, their doing their best to land a first rounder, as the sniper still holds trade value on the open market.

Keep a close tab on these clubs as the desert dogs are trying to recoup picks, while the Sabres are trying to keep their captain happy.
