Thread: Fiala and Holtz
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sledgie12</b></div><div>Not exact, but Devils did trade 10th Overall (Bo Horvat) for Schneider two years away from UFA. Fiala is real good, real good needs to go back to get him. I dont think the risk is worth it for the Devils all things considered but a 1 for 1 trade between these two is understandable from both sides.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Manure?

Show me one trade comp where a team gave up a top-prospect and a top-5 pick for a winger without a contract? Just one. Doesn’t have to be exact…closest one you got.

I’ll wait.</div></div>

Not sure why youre asking for a trade comp with a top prospect AND a top 5 pick. Nobody suggested a top 5 pick on top of Holtz

Reinhart is a decent comparable though. He got a top prospect in Devon Levi + a top 10 protected 1st. Fiala is a year older than Reinhart was when he was traded but he is also coming off of a 1.04P/GP year while Reinhart was scoring at a 0.74P/GP rate the year before he was traded

Thread: How Much for your Goalie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sledgie12</b></div><div>See, I don't really care about helping out another teams rebuild. Especially in the west. I want to know what this team is with an above average goalie, so I'd be comfortable paying close to the world for Hellebuyck, Knight, or Askarov. I agree Boston won't move Swayman but I'd offer sheet him next year if there is no luck on getting a good goalie this year.</div></div>

I don’t care about their rebuilds either…I care about giving up those amounts.

Goalies are unpredictable. So hard to tell year-to-year who will be good and who will not.

I’d like to see Blackwood healthy with his job on the line, and other options like Daws, Schmid and someone like Samsonov all competing for starts.

Others you could add: Binnington, Varlomov, Grubauer, Murray. Contracts are higher, but trade cost will be less coming off poor seasons. And free agents (Kuemper, Campbell, Husso, etc)

Thread: How Much for your Goalie
I think the best option, considering cost, among those listed would be Samsonov. Maybe Vladar if Calgary thinks Wolf is ready.

Hellebuyck, Gibson will cost an arm and a leg and I would be reluctant to offer an amount that could be the foundation for someone else’s rebuild.

Knight and Askarov probably would apply to this too. But windows match up with ours, so a little better.

DiPietro, Tarasov and Wolf are prospects and unclear if they will provide an upgrade to Daws or Schmid (or faster timeline). Although Wolf’s ceiling is pretty high.

Blomqvist likely stays put as they just dealt Clang.

Detroit doesn’t have the goalie depth to move Nedeljkovic.

Boston isn’t moving Swayman on his ELC.

And Lehner’s injury issues may not be worth it.

So that leaves Samsonov and Vladar.
