The move has worked well for the Coyotes before taking on undesirable contracts like Andrew Ladd, Shayne Gostisbehere, Antoine Roussel, and Loui Eriksson, and receiving several draft picks.
TSN's Chris Johnston also noted that the length of the contract and the type of player the Coyotes are receiving would play a factor in these negotiations. Ladd and Gostisbehere are the only two aforementioned players signed beyond this season, and both their contracts expire after 2022-23 season.
