OK. First of all, you might want to be a bit more precise with your language. Vejmelka, not Vajmelka unless there is a foreign spelling you are using. "Vajmelkad" the way you used it at the beginning is a verb, not an adjective; and as Chad Rockey said, LAK and ARI are not in the same division but in the same conference. I know the points you were trying to make but this needlessly undermines your credibility with your listeners. Quick does not have a NMC or even a NTC in his contract btw. More credibility issues.
Second of all, I'm a full season seat holder to both LAK and ARI. I'm only going to speak to LA and not the other teams. Vejmelka is having a good season but it is unnoticed b/c the Yotes stink this year. But it is only one season. Last season, he played a little worse. I'm not convinced he's the answer to LA especially in light of Copley's play. You can tell that LAK plays more confidently in front Copley than Quick (strange for me to say that).
As someone else I know pointed out, ARI needs to have some faces in the fold for this crucial vote in Tempe- one that could decide whether or not the Yotes stay in ARI. Vejmelka can be that face- one of them (Keller is probably the other).
G's typically do not command a big trade premium particularly in-season. There is no reason for ARI to take Peterson either. Right now, he is a waste of cap space. I don't see this in the cards.
I do see LAK being a D-man away from being a serious contender- if they can stay healthy. They should be targeting Chychrun instead, but Armstrong asking price is apparently too high right now for any NHL club.

Coyotes & LA aren't in the same division. Western Central vs Western Pacific.

Quick pretty much has an NMV as he is not going to Arizona . I don’t know what got me thinking that Arizona is still in the Pacific
