Thread: Fiala Draft Picks and Prospects
I think Guerin would ask for Räty and possibly the 1st he would balk at Bellows discussion on here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AndrewGoalie33</b></div><div>That’s an overpay for Fiala. Raty just had a PPG season in the Liiga as a 19 year old and the isles 1st this year is solid. Although Fiala is a great player, I think Raty has higher potential, so I’d rather have him and the 1st. Also, its universally agreed upon that Mike Reilly is worth a 3rd</div></div>

Räty may have higher potential but Lou couldn't care less about the future. Islanders are a team who are long in the tooth, so they need to prioritize players who can play now. A Barzal-Fiala combo might be to good to pass up for Lou.

Not sure Guerin can walk away with both Räty and the 13th pick but it is a weaker draft so maybe.

Thread: Letss go Caness
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>iAce</b></div><div>I agree. Hartman now over 30 goals with today's performance. He signed a team friendly deal to stay in Minnesota. I doubt Billy G moves him in the cap strapped years without a huge price tag on him. I think the Wild will try to lock him up long term depending on the price. By long term, I mean a 4-5 year deal. He can also play the wing and play with skill or sandpaper. We'll need him and his contract to stay competitive. That being said, I like to hear your side of the trade proposal.</div></div>

If you are asking my side, it's that i totally agree with you. Domi hasn't been good in years and would be better if he would just except a move to wing. Also i can't see Domi taking a team friendly deal to stay in MN. It wouldn't be logical for Wild fans to expect this out of Hartman for the next 5 years but who knows he keeps growing as a player, like Foligno did/ has. I do hope Billy is able to reward Hartzy with his next contract. Even if Hartzy isn't the #1C long term he should continue to have a spot on the team as a gritty wing long term at a minimum.

Thread: Another realistic one
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Every team in the league needs right shot players. They’re very much in need, on defence or offence . I wouldn’t trade the 2022 1st unless it’s lower than 8 personally .</div></div>

Well that's more of a discussion for GMs and scouts based on the quality of player that can be had in their opinion, but i understand what your saying. Sabres, Sens and probably a few more teams will look at Fiala hard. I assume the Fiala to Ottawa rumors are based on how hard the Sens have scouted MN this year. I have no idea if MN has scouted the Sens prospects, but I'm sure they are watching them.
I really think your trade works other than the top 5 protection. Maybe Sens and Wild both agree to gamble a bit more. Just top 3 protect? That covers Bedard, Michkov, and Fantilli.
