Thread: Making moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drmantalban</b></div><div>Here’s my take that I know others will disagree with. If you’re going after Eichel, you’re presumably in win now mode. And if that’s the case, I struggle to justify moving Fiala.

There are very few assets we have that I’d rather keep over Fiala if the Wild are in win now mode.

IMO, in any scenario where we acquire Eichel, we also need to find a way to keep Fiala .</div></div>


You can't acquire Eichel without moving Fiala if you want any kind of prayer at remaining competitive. You'd have 50% of the cap tied up in three players (40M for Eichel, Kaprizov, Fiala, Parise, Suter; not even mentioning another 18M for Ek, Spurgeon, Brodin) at that point for three years. You cannot ice a team with any depth whatsoever. You're filling in the gaps with fourth liners.
