Another team could say they’re willing to pay a first round pick and all of a sudden the leafs only have a 2nd round pick to offer so they are instantly out of the running and ended up with Dumba instead of Tanev.

Honestly, why not give Calgary the first? It's probably still a palatable deal for the Coyotes to get a 2nd instead of getting a 1st and having to give up a second.
The same assets could be moved for the same result, making more sense for everyone.
