Unfortunately none of those pieces would really work for NJ as they need talented wingers, either top-7 physical wingers with skill or top line scoring winger

Would've been Fiala and a second top asset like Rossi or Wallstedt. Now that Fiala is gone, any offer for 2oa starts with Wallstedt.

Wallstedt is the only one I would consider. Maybe Rossi too

Boldy or Wallstedt would have to be included.

Before Fiala was delt, Rossi and Wallstedt would never have been delt as part of a package for 2nd overall.

It would of been Fiala and and one of the defensive prospects like O'Rourke/Hunt/Addison.

Give up on 2nd OVA.

Without Fiala to offset the value the price to acquire it isn't worth it anymore. There's not a single player coming out of this draft that's worth losing one of Boldy, Rossi, Wallstedt for what we’re supposedly gaining... IMO.

Not Wright, not Cooley, not Slafkovsky or anyone else. Not one. Just leave the top ten alone in this draft. We don't have the assets or ammunition to move up that high without giving up something that would just cripple us elsewhere in the future.

There would have to be quality in the trade. Either Boldy or Wallstedt or it doesn't make sense for the Devils

Devils wouldn't take that for 2oa

Doesn't matter.

That's what would of been offered.

Boldy, Rossi, and Wallstedt are all off limits given the fact that there is no one in the top ten in this years draft who is worth moving them for this year.

Not one.

Logan Cooley is the only one with the potential upside to be a franchise center out of this draft and that is a very risky assumption to bet on. Moving any of those three to do it and take that gamble is moronic and would only hurt the team in the long run.

What do you see the Wild achieving in the next 3 years? Average at best? The D-core is signed to long term deals yet we trade for young talent at those positions. Our wingers are now average. I think Kaprizov and Boldy are top line wingers and we don't have much coming up in the ranks in terms of talent. There is always talent available so I'm not as worried about the wingers as I am with the center position. I get the fact we should move off of no 2. But I'm tired of being average or not being able to run with teams because our centers are below average. Looking at the roster for next season we have a log jam at centers that have proven they can't cut it in the playoffs and no wiggle room without moves. I don't want to see Freddy in the top 6. Hartman had an unreal year but maybe he slots in next to Boldy on that second line and brings the same mentality he did last year. There's a lot of holes in this roster and it's filled with guys that haven't proven they can do anything in the playoffs. Why are we so loyal to them? If we are average for the next 3 years Kaprizov mostly likely walks. If he walks you are looking at a massive rebuild, instead of making trades now to ensure that doesn't happen. The time to make moves is now and set us up for coming out of this cap hell the right way. Maybe we don't trade for no 2, but we need some plan for a center that helps us compete with the likes of the AVs and others.

I agree that Rossi, Boldy and Wallstedt are untouchable. Everyone else could be had.

From experts is one of the weaker drafts. There really isn’t a clear cut generational talent at #1. I would’ve never traded Fiala and a prospect like wallstadt or rossi. Fiala is traded so there is no reason to discuss getting the 2OA pick. Keep the pick. From the sound of it you’re probably gonna cause you’re not getting Cat from Chicago for just that.

Sorry I wasn’t speaking directly to you on this lol. More agreeing with you and speaking at any devil fan
