Description

Not sure these are a good idea, but I'll put it out there for discussion. The trades are kinda explained below.
I would much prefer Eichel but I'm not sure Sabres are going to play ball.

Trades

MIN

Kuznetsov, Evgeny

WSH

Additional Details:

Does this work for Washington? I'm not currently aware of their needs but I know they are in need of some youth in the forward group, Greenway helps that and Dumba along with Greenway should help offset value. Just a spit ball offer so feedback is welcome.

MIN

Tarasenko, Vladimir ($1,000,000 retained)
2022 1st round pick (STL)

STL

Fiala, Kevin

Additional Details:

Not sure how this works out just a spit ball offer again. Since the blues were basically willing to give him away in expansion I can't imagine Vlads value is real high. Wild will have cap problems so re-signing Fiala again may be very difficult. If Vlad is badly injured where shoulder forces him to not play then the Wild have found LTIR money to relieve cap stress.
Other thought on Vlad is he is a good guy who would help offset the baggage Kuznetsov brings.

Kinda risky for Minny. I think if the Blues did this I wouldn't look back. What kind of deal is fiala rumored to be asking for?

I've heard anywhere between 6.5 and 7.5 but in arb he was asking for 6.25. I've heard he wants term which Wild don't want to do because of their cap issues.
