close but not enough-- they play a similar game but kreider is at a level above fiala (not saying fiala wouldn't get there, he just isn't there yet). Maybe a 2nd as well but the rangers should/would hold out for a better offer

Meh. Trade is close i guess?

Fenton moved Granlund to get Fiala, I can't see any way we trade him while Fenton is the GM. This also doesn't fit what the Wild are trying to do which is get younger and faster, even if the value is relatively close.

Have you seen Krieder skate?

It's not the skating, it's the age. The Wild traded all but one of our 26-27 year old players for 22 year olds (with the exception of Rask). Like I said this just doesn't fit what Fenton has publicly said he's trying to do.

Nope. An unequal trade, if there ever was one. This is a one-sided deal, the fleecing nearing the likes of Ryan McDonough-Scott Gomez of years ago.

who's getting fleeced tho

The Rangers! Fiala? Really? This is not a worthwhile move. Kreider isn't being traded for a player trying to figure his game out.

No thanks.

he's a great player Kreiders a rental who could be resigned

Don't want Fiala..no thanks.
