#20 – Clayton Keller

In 2019, John Chayka, the general manager of the Arizona Coyotes, signed Clayton Keller to an eight year, $57.2M contract. The winger is about to begin the fourth year of that deal and the last before a no-trade clause kicks in. Keller also has a no-move on the final two years of his contract. His deal is carroes a $7.15 average annual value (AAV).

The 24-year-old from Chesterfield, Missouri is a former seventh-overall pick of the Coyotes. He’s been with the organization ever since. This past season was by far his best. If the Yotes wanted to trade Keller, there would be no better time than while his stock is so high.

Last season, Keller played in all 82 games. He recorded 37 goals and 49 assists for a total of 86 points.

#19 – Tyler Toffoli

Tyler Toffoli is a 31-year-old right-winger from Scarborough, Ontario. For those who haven’t been paying attention, he is currently a member of the New Jersey Devils. That’s because a day before the 2023 draft, Toffoli was traded by the Calgary Flames to the Devils for Yegor Sharangovich and a third round draft choice.

This past season, Toffoli was outstanding with the Flames. In 82 contests, he recorded 34 goals and 39 assists, for 73 total points. His stock may never be higher than it is right now, which is why it was wise for the Flames to deal him for a younger (Sharangovich is 25-years-old) player.

Toffoli is an 11-year veteran in the NHL who, in his rookie season with the Los Angeles Kings, won the Stanley Cup. His NHL career total is 227 goals and 239 assists, which gives him 466 points in 733 games.

Toffoli is in the final year of his contract, which hasn’t had any trade restrictions in it at all. He is earning $4.25M this year. Expect to see his name floated in trade rumours all the way up until the deadline or until he is moved.
