@Tansor @MNbassman feel free to @ any other Wild fan you two are the first that come to mind

Fiala-Zegras-Terry is what dreams are made of

I would think Guerin would be interested in C prospects or RW prospects. Jacob Perreault is one that comes to my mind.

2022 1st and a good cheap young player. You guys have a lot of those

Let’s hope one of us get Fiala this off-season 😂

I actually don’t mind if the Sens don’t get Fiala, take BPA and just sit on it. I’m very high on Pinto and I think he will explode and same with Stutzle. I’m just hoping they can add a decent top 6 player that can keep up with Stutzle. I also think Matthieu Joseph is going to go for at least 20G and 25A

MN needs center (top-6) prospects. They do not need LD prospects. Everything else falls somewhere in between.

I think we'd ask for the 10th overall pick and a prospect (Tracey would be fine). I could maybe see Comtois instead of a prospect, but I would prefer a prospect over him.

I'd love to get McTavish instead of a 1st but I don't see the Ducks moving him. I think the Ducks and Kings are really good fit for trading partners since you both are stacked with young forward prospects.

If the Ducks are in the running that puts ANA, OTT, and NJD in the running. Each of those teams has a high 2022 1st, if one of them puts that on the table then I think that sets the pick. If not, the package is a 1st (22/23, probably doesn’t matter) and a decent prospect. I’ve been interested in Perrault and Groulx.

I could see a world where we offer 10OA but I don’t think we would add anything to that, could be wrong though

I think the package above, perhaps swap the prospect out (Perreault, BOG, as you said Comtois would make some sense but I don’t see that as enough at his current value) would be the most I’m comfortable moving, depending how the board falls at 10OA

I think McTavish would be a non-starter for us we don’t have the depth at C in our prospect pool to move him

It seems like a great trade fit to me though.

Those are all the teams I see in the running tbh plus maybe the Islanders. But Fiala doesn’t seem like a Lou player.

I also don’t see NJ moving 2nd overall, Holtz or Mercer. So that leaves the 2023 1st and guys like Zacha and Smith. Is that enough I don’t think so.

I think Anaheim is the best spot and most likely cuz they have a lot of prospects Colangelo, Perrreault, Tracey, Comtois and their 2022 1st is lower than the other teams.

I’d have them:

1) Anaheim
2) Ottawa
3) NJ
4) Isles
5) LA

Right now

Someone on ESPN 8 suggested the Sens trade Batherson and 2023 1st for Fiala and I wanted to puke

The thing is, the player you are drafting at 10th overall probably won't be as good as Fiala so the Wild are taking all the risk there. If you take a look at players drafted 10th overall, the only player drafted in the last 15 years I would for sure take over Fiala is Rantanen. I would probably take Brodin over Fiala as well. Every other player (outside of the past few years since it's too early to tell) is not as good as Fiala. That's why I think a prospect would have to be added.

I agree though, we're great trading partners.

How ESPN still has any credibility is wild to me 😂

Imagine in a cap world the Sens traded a point per game Batherson sub 5 mill for the rights to sign a player to 8 mill. Let alone adding a 1st . And a guy that has size and hits for a guy that doesn’t

I think this list just shows how weak GM's think the top of this draft is. Top-10 picks aren't something that is even considered to be on the table other draft years.

Good analysis, I think you’re pretty darn close. But, as always, I have something to add. NJD is the wild card with 2 OA, and I don’t mean that it’s on the table but I wonder if it puts Mercer in play. Slaf or Cooley probably have a higher ceiling than Mercer but that’s as much an embarrassment of riches as ANA. It just depends what they’re willing to put up.

Looking at OTT (and not trying to rag), the Boucher pick last year really puts them on the back foot for this deal. I know you’re high on Pinto but is he worth offering for Fiala? As I’ve said for a while, I think it’s gonna come down to the prospect more than the pick.

Gonna be fun for me as a Wild fan.

Wow looking at that list is a blast from the past haha

Oh 100% 10OA is pretty much a really good lottery ticket, it would be a long shot for whomever is drafted there to be as impactful as Fiala.

I just think if 10OA is offered the attached prospect would drop a tier (From Perreault/Tracey) to guys like BOG, and Colangelo

Unless NJ/OTT offer their 2022 1st I feel like we’re the most likely spot

I think it speaks more to the GMs in question wanting to win now than anything. Gotta think Dorian and Fitz are getting a bit warm in their seats ATM.

Some guy on Sens radio this morning suggested Pinto and maybe a 2nd for Fiala and all Sens fans went nuts.

I think 7th overall and Jarventie is probably fair value. But will the Sens offer the 7th? That’s what I’m wondering

I’m kinda wondering that for all involved. And just because Sens fans listening to radio went nuts doesn’t really tell me one thing or the other, but you know that better than anybody.

I don't think outside of Wright, Slaf, and Nemec any of the top-10 of the draft will be probably better than Fiala. Hence why 2oa is off the table for NJD.

I'd be trying to get a blue chip prospect instead of a high draft choice. Like if NJD offered up Holtz that would be my first choice.

I agree, that's why I'd love McTavish. I'd rather get a center than Holtz, but for the longest time this team has needed a right shot goal scorer so I'd be happy with that.

I'd kill for Mercer. He was my draft crush two years ago. I'd be really surprised if the Devils traded him but he'd be my ideal target.

From an upside bet, I think it makes sense. But agreed. He’s the guy I wait for NJD to put on the table.

I don't think that at all. GMs wouldn't trade their pick if Boldy, and the 2-7 players drafted ahead of him in the 5-10 picks, were all on the table. Most other drafts top-12ish are better than the players in the 5 to 10 range this year.
