There are a couple of reasons why Jovanovski is hard to trade. First and foremost he has a no trade clause. I have a feeling he doesn’t want to move anywhere. Second if does allow a trade to happen he carries a huge contract with him. He is currently making 6.5 million through the 2010-11 season. I also so think he is just too valuable to the team to trade away without getting another proven NHL defenseman.
Not Available
Shane Doan
Doan like Jovanovski has a not trade clause but in this case there is no way he is waiving it. The Phoenix Coyotes are Doan’s only team he has ever played for and don’t see that changing for the rest of his career. He is the heart and soul of this team. If Doan was to go it would have been a couple of years ago before he signed a contract extension with the Coyotes.
Ilya Bryzgalov
Although he has battled inconsistency this season he still remains one of the top players on the Coyotes. Without him this year the Coyotes would have been even worse. There has been games where he could of played better but most of the time this season it has more about lack of scoring then preventing them.
Other unavailable players: Peter Mueller, Kyle Turris, Keith Yandle, Mikkel Boedker, Martin Hanzal
If the Coyotes are Buyers
If the Coyotes can somehow string a few wins together and become buyers come the trade deadline, don’t expect them to be much of a buyer. General Manager Don Maloney already stated earlier in the season that they would only trade for players that are equal in both age and contract wise. Another possibility is acquiring another depth defenseman for a low draft pick.
