nope, doesn't make any sense from the Coyotes POV. Don't need another D'man (who would be the highest paid blueliner on the Coyotes) or a small wing (who would be the 2nd highest paid forward in Phoenix), Hanzal IMO is more valuable and has a better contract than either of those 2 players. The player that the Coyotes most covets from the Flyers is Carter from a need perspective...
the whole premise is that the Coyotes will raise payroll where they can't take on Bryzgalov's contract if they get Carter and it enables the Flyers to lower the cap hit and negotiate before Bryz becomes a free agent...
The Coyotes won't help the Flyers to reduce their salary cap without helping themselves and compared to the Coyotes most of the Flyers are over paid (or perhaps I should say their contracts are too high for the Coyotes to take on to justify a trade other than who would be a top line center for the Coyotes)
