Rumor: 50/50 Chance Fiala gets traded (No Monahan)

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Mike Russo of the Athletic today said he believes there’s a 50/50 chance that Fiala gets traded this summer as the Wild cap crunch ramps up and the search for a center for Kaprizov continues. Has stated the organization really likes him, but it’s dollars and cents and Fiala will want a lot in RFA.

24yo top line winger who has paced for an average of 68 points the past two seasons, as well as 30+ goals. It would be my preference to not move him. Hopefully we’d only consider it if it’s in a trade for a number one center, but Fiala almost got traded (reportedly) last time the two sides went at it in contract negotiations.

We need centers and don't have infinite cap space.

Fiala for Zacha+?

They need a 1C and to re-sign at least two key RFA's. What they need to do costs a lot of cap space and/or trade capital. If I were them, I'd put a lot on the table for Eichel so long as it also allows them to send Rask back.

They actually have quality players now, so rumors are going to be swirling about them?

 

[LuGBuG]

If Anaheim is getting Eichel they should be throwing their hat in this ring as well. What would it cost?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Fiala for Zacha+?

yes please.

Fiala+ for Hughes

no please.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Package for Eichel.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

yes please.



no please.

I agree, but just the opposite.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Fiala for Zacha+?

That + better be significant

Makes no sense unless we’re getting 3OA, and even then a I’d rather keep Kevin

 

[Kaen]

What 1C's are actually available and of those which are close enough in value to Fiala to consider him as the centerpiece? I doubt it's a long list.

I can't wait to get lowballed for Fiala now too.

These types of rumors should come with a disclaimer that he's only moved to address a need, not because we simply want to be rid of him, and the value of the return should reflect that.

It's not, that's the problem with trading him.

I could see a Fiala-based package for Eichel happening here if Minnesota is willing to put the right amount of futures in. If that's what it'll take to keep Kaprizov happy, I think you have to bite that bullet.

I’ll add a link to the clip when the podcast becomes available.

I can think of one Kenny Holland who should be picking up the phone here. Picks and prospects are cheap, Mr. Guerin.

A 1C isn't in the cards for most trades, unfortunately. 99% of the time you have to draft and develop them. Maybe see what Buffalo would want in an Eichel deal?

Hischier or Hughes…

Ask from Anaheim?

If a 1Cs not coming back I’d think we’d keep him and move out money somewhere else. I think it really comes down to how negotiations go.

Who is Edmonton willing to part with? Holloway is apparently out of the question.

Relatively young top 6 centers or guys who are poised to be top 6 centers next season.
