There isn't a huge gap between Murphy and Tanev currently
It would make no sense for the Coyotes to give up 3 young players to get an older one when they're rebuilding.
Their GM isn't Benning who is against rebuilds...
So 26 years old is too old for a rebuilding team. Gotcha.

How long has Arizona been rebuilding?
Huge no from the Coyotes. There isn't a huge gap between Murphy and Tanev currently and Murphy is a lot younger with potential.
Perlini is arguably the Coyotes third best prospect. 2 years younger than Gaunce, drafted higher. There's no reason to move him for Gaunce.
And Merkley is just a gift for the Canucks.
Coyotes don't benefit at all from this.
Lol that is such a joke. Tanev is a top 5 defensive defenceman in the league. Tanev is one of the best at shot suppression while Murphy is below average. Tanev put up more points than Murphy as well but who really cares. Tanev is by far better and would be an amazing partner for OEL. Those two together would be incredible.
Also 3 years isn't "a lot younger".
Btw Perlini is trash and regressed hard, huge longshot to make the NHL. Gaunce put up a better PPG than Perlini while playing the AHL. Strome, Keller, Dvorak, Chychrun. How is he your 3rd best prospect? lol
Merkley isn't bad but once again he regressed this year as well.
And Murphy has Tanev beat in Corsi and Fenwick. Whoopdeedooo. While Tanev is better he isn't two former 1st round picks better. Murphy also just finished only his second full season he still has a lot of room to grow and has done well with OEL....
And you saying Perlini is trash completely discredits any of your opinions.
And I said "arguably third best" Maybe you should look up what that word means...
What stats are you looking at? Murphy had a CF% of 46.4 and Tanev had 49.4. I guess you are using CF60 but you should use that stat in conjunction with CA60. Murphy's CA60 is much higher, which makes sense because Tanev is the superior shot suppressor and defenceman.
Sure he has done well with OEL, but could you imagine Tanev with OEL, that is by far worth giving up 2 former first rounders that have regressed for. Especially when you are getting Gaunce back as well.
Perlini isn't "arguably" your 3rd best prospect. No one in their right mind would take him over Strome, Keller or Dvorak. Not even close. I would also like to know how you think Perlini isn't bad. If you look back to past years prospects who regress in their +2 draft year are extreme longshots to make the NHL. If Perlini is traded it will not be for much and his status of "former first round pick" wont mean anything.
I'd rather keep the 3 players then trade them for Tanev. Notice how no other Coyotes fan is jumping on this?
Do you know what 3rd means? It means after two others. Strome, Dvorak, Perlini. Perlini is closer to the NHL, so he arguably can be put as #3 over Keller.
Perlini was in a bad situation junior, look it up. Bad team. I believe he switched wings and struggled. At the WJC he looked good, in rookie camp he looked good. He is not a bad player.
And if Perlinis value is supposedly so low according to you, why would the Coyotes just throw him away if he hasn't played pro yet?
