Its a 10 team No list, so if AZ is on that list, yes he blocks it, otherwise, he cannot do anything. Minnesota could trade him to one of the other 21 teams that aren't on his no list for players that AZ would want in return in a 3 way deal also.

Go read Michael Russo piece from yesterday. This fo doesn't want to keep fiala, and they value dumba over him. Also Arizona isn't a team a player like dumba would waive too. Russo said in his article wild offered sturm a long term contract before dealing him when he said no. That wild are valuing players like stirm over fiala is telling

What's the point in paying extra for AZ to retain when you still have more than enough cap room to accommodate Chychruns full caphit?

Why would arizona trade for a soon to be pending UFA who is 4 years older than Chychrun while retaining on chychrun for 4 years?

That retention alone is worth more than 1 first

Doubt if Dumba and Arizona like that trade. Does Minni really need another LHD? IMO it's Foligno or Greenway that are moved without any cap coming back to Minni. I know that sucks for Minni, but too many other big contracts are not tradeable due to NTCs.

They are not nessesarily valuing players over Fiala, they probably view that they cannot keep Fiala. Plus that does not mean that the Wild are valuing players over Fiala, it means that they likely want to resign them to see what cap hit they have left to deal with Fiala.

They wont trade either, they are to integral to their identity. I think that a hockey deal might be worked out in which a defenseman is traded to address another need on the roster. The trade will of course be to a contender.

This is a direct quote from the article that you are referring to yesterday, where in there does he say that the wild value Sturm over Fiala, or that they wouldn't trade Dumba which could save Fiala? It actually says in the article that if Dumba wants a raise that they should trade him which could save Fiala.

So, deep down, I do think the organization is planning to trade Fiala this summer. Now, will they trade Dumba, too? I don’t think they want to, but they should get out in front of it this summer and see how much Dumba would cost on an extension. If he’s willing to take a haircut from his $6 million, I see it happening. If he isn’t, I can see him getting dealt this summer or in-season in 2022-23. They value Dumba on and off the ice, and I don’t think they want to move him. But if they have to, maybe that saves Fiala.
Fiala and Dumba have the same agent, by the way, which adds an interesting dynamic.
Back to Fiala, I agree with you. It would be a shame. He’s got his warts. He’s the perfect example of a high-risk, high-reward player. No matter how many times you try to coach out the turnovers, they’re still going to happen at bad moments, like in the recent Buffalo game. But he’s always trying to make something happen and always works his butt off. He also can skate and score like few others on this roster and few others that this organization has ever had.
Matt Boldy has helped Fiala ignite since coming up from the minors, and it would be a shame if that tandem can’t continue to grow together. The Wild may look at it like Boldy is driving that line, but the chemistry is undeniable and one could make the same argument that Kirill Kaprizov is nothing without Mats Zuccarello — and vice versa.
But $6 million a year wasn’t enough for Fiala last summer, so it’s hard to envision it will be this summer. And I don’t see how the Wild can afford to pay him more than that. Here’s the analysis Shayna Goldman and I did recently, and that was before the Jost acquisition.

In the current year, they have the cap space to do it, going forward they do not, when they have to resign Boldy and Addison. Given Addison's raise will probably only be ~500k, Boldy's will probably be more than the AZ retention piece of this deal.

The trouble with signing Dumba to a contender.....is they don't have cap either in all likelihood, and would have to send cap the Minni, which might defeat the purpose of the trade. Dallas might be one few options if Klinberg leaves.

It might be light, I would send as many prospects as possible not named Rossi Boldy or walstadt to get the deal done, and like I said in one of my earlier comments, they could just trade Dumba somewhere that would value him and send all those pieces to AZ.

Thats an awful lot of work for Arizona to do.

Again, retaining 2.3 million for 4 years is probably worth a 1st and a 2nd alone before you get into compensation for the actual player.
