It's just GM talk. They're paid to lie. I recall Brian Burke once saying "I'm not trading Sergei Fedorov." He was traded the next day.

I get that you're tempering expectations, however Fiala will get more than a late 2nd and waiver claim...

I don't understand why he would just willingly ask for pennies on the dollar for Fiala? Are you just feeling depressed? I listened to the same radio segment, mostly seemed like he's just keeping his cards close to his vest.

I respect you and get what you are doing, but it was reported Rangers were fixated on Sammy B. This proposal is just with all due respect you venting. Adam gaudette is a 3rd or 4th line w,/ C and nothing like Sammy who Rangers previous front office was fixated on

I don't know if depressed or venting are the right words, but if you listen to Guerin's comment about Fiala ("he had 3 good months") it couldn't be more obvious that he doesn't value Fiala very highly.
GMBG said, "Everyone wants to trade Dumba to keep a guy who had 3 good months (Fiala)." Wow, so vicious. That wasn't a GM inflating a guy's value. It was a GM calling out his player as unable to perform in the playoffs and suggesting that streaky scorer Fiala is a fluke. He's going to trade him like Nino rather than trading him like he's Zucker. This could get ugly folks.
Edit: for those who don't know....
Nino Niederreiter was traded by the last GM (Paul Fenton) for Victor Rask straight up.
Jason Zucker was traded by GMBG for a first and Calen Addison.
