There have been numerous Arizona Coyotes<\/a> trade rumours hitting the desert floor in Arizona of late. With the new hiring of Bill Armstrong<\/a><\/strong> as general manager things could get interesting. When he applied for the job, Armstrong had prepared a 90-page plan for the team over the next five years. What is intriguing most Coyotes’ fans is who will be traded and who will stay. Right now, the list of players staying put may be considerably shorter than its counterpart.<\/p>\n

And don’t think that other teams aren’t aware of the Coyotes situation. They could attempt to take advantage of an organization in a bit of turmoil. Perhaps Armstrong will settle things down, but if he wants to get this team back into the playoffs again he will need to consider some deals to get there.<\/p>\n

What makes even considering trading your two best players has much to do about finances, contracts, and just upgrading your team. Armstrong knows that and he needs to see what deals are out there for his two star players. Oliver Ekman-Larsson<\/a><\/strong> has been the subject of trade rumours<\/a> for weeks. One sticky point is his contract worth $8.25 million over the next seven years.<\/p>\n

One speculated landing place for OEL is the Edmonton Oilers<\/a>. Wouldn’t head coach Dave Tippett<\/a><\/strong> of the Edmonton Oilers love to add OEL to his roster? Just imagine having someone like him dishing off passes to Connor McDavid<\/a><\/strong> and Leon Draisaitl<\/a>,<\/strong> or running the power play. Meanwhile, Darcy Kuemper<\/a><\/strong> has just two years remaining on his contract worth $4.5 million a year. If Armstrong gets out his outline, it’s curious if the trade listed below would be covered in there.<\/p>\n
