2 Arizona Coyotes Most Likely to be Traded

By the sounds of it the Arizona Coyotes are still interested in getting younger so we can expect to see a couple of trades this offseason. Anyone over the age of 25 could be dealt as the team looks to rebuild. Good thing for 'Yotes management is they have a couple of veteran assets that still appeal to other teams.

2 Coyotes Who Could Be Dealt

Phil Kessel: The 33-year-old sniper does nothing but stay healthy and score goals. Sure, last season was a bit of a grind at times for Kessel but with only one season left on his deal at a reduced $6.8 million, the Coyotes shouldn't have any issues moving #81. 'Phil the Thrill' finished with 43 points in 56 games and with almost 100 Stanley Cup Playoff games under his belt, a contender with some cap space is the most likely landing spot for the scoring rental. Kessel holds 8-team trade protection but it's likely he waives for another chance at winning a Cup.

Conor Garland: The speedy winger is a curious case because there was a lot of talk the Coyotes were shopping him at the trade deadline, meanwhile he was signed for $775,000 and out performing his contract. The 25-year-old has scored where ever he's played which is something that interested the Toronto Maple Leafs back in April. Let's see if the two sides reconnect. Garland is a restricted free agent so his contract status certainly plays a role in negotiations.

The Coyotes appear headed to hit the reset button and with only five players signed past next season, now is the perfect time to turnover the roster. The moves should continue this summer and Kessel or Garland could very well be included.
