Thread: Which team needs to add
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>budgeteam</b></div><div>No he wouldn't.

Show me a time when a player like Stutzle was moved and it was initiated by the other team. The only times those things happen (Kessel, Seguin), it's attitude issue related, and the team already shops them.

The proposal is not in line with reality. It's not an issue of value. Dorion would say no forget about the two firsts, we're not moving Stutzle, our offer is centered around the 7th overall and x y and z pieces. The Wild would then either get a better offer elsewhere, or they wouldn't.

Again, like I said, this isn't EA NHL. There isn't a magic trade bar that causes the team to accept when it is filled. Which is basically what your 2 firsts example was.</div></div>

I can't help that you are having difficulty comprehending the point of this post...

Thread: Which team needs to add
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>budgeteam</b></div><div>This is an EA NHL trade, and it might only work in NHL 13 since they improved the AI a little bit as the series progressed.

Why do the Wild have the leverage to get Stutzle?
1 - They do not have the cap to fit Fiala in long term. The Wild are dealing from a tremendous position of weakness.
2 - Fiala is an offer sheet candidate. A 1 year offer sheet could net a contender Fiala for a late 1st/2nd/3rd, and if the Wild match, they will not be able to trade Fiala for a year. The contender could still extend Fiala in January 2023, ala Carolina and Kotkaniemi.
3 - Any team that acquires Fiala will have to be able to fit him in at approximately 8 million. Not every team in the league can do this without making other sacrifices. Minnesota cannot take back long term cap to help with this. So they need to exclusively deal with teams who can take Fiala clean, dump cap elsewhere.
4 - Fiala will have to want to sign long term with whoever acquires him. Most teams won't want to give up A level pieces for a player who will sign for 1 year.

Stutzle is a 20 year old 1st liner with superstar potential. Since when do teams trade those kind of pieces for players who are close to UFA status and are forced off of other teams due to the salary cap? The Wild will get a nice return for Fiala, but if you're expecting Stutzle for a player 1 year away from free agency that Minnesota has to trade, you're way off.</div></div>

Again, I may have posted this, but it wasn't me thinking the Wild could get Stutzle for Fiala. Someone had brought up wondering if the Sens would give up Stutzle+ for Fiala. I said it would be MN adding in that situation and was called out for it so I simply wanted to gauge what others thought.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JustanIdea</b></div><div>Dude, the guy is on an ELC and is gonna be a star. Playing with less skilled forwards then Fiala did he 23 less points and is a crucial part of the Sens future. He is also 100x more skilled than Fiala cause he can shoot, distribute, draw penalties, is better both ways, and is gritty.

He is the Sens Daniel Alfredsson. How do you think this is a fair deal. Fiala has had one good season and now he is worth what might be the best young player and the face of a franchise.</div></div>

Did you read anything i wrote? I asked the question "who needs to add?" and followed by replying to EccE that I said the Wild would have to add on a different site and was called out for it and told OTT would have to add.

I'm on your side of the debate here so chilllllllll.

Thread: Wishful thinking for Fiala
Interesting contrasting viewpoints based on who you're a fan of. I'll say, I'm a fan of the Wild, so it's not like I was trying to screw them over here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wildnochance</b></div><div>Take out the 1st round pick from wild</div></div>

Why? NJ drops ~20 spots here. Yes, they get the proven commodity and the better prospect, but IMO, the writing is on the wall that Addison probably doesn't have a long-term future in Minnesota. In return, Minnesota gets its #1 center for the next 15 years in either Cooley or Wright. If this was for the first overall pick would you still say we need to take out the first? Because more than likely we'd be talking that Minnesota needs to add more, which I think they still might for the second overall pick but this seems like a pretty decent starting point.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devil</b></div><div>Fiala and Addison aren’t worth 2nd overall</div></div>

You're right, hence the pick swap. Three REALLY good pieces coming the Devils way here and yet there may need to be more. It basically comes down to, does NJ want to draft another high end center with and already stacked and young center core (Hughes, Hischier, Mercer is gonna be NASTY), do they want to draft a high end winger in Slafkovsky (who I LOVE but not a current team need), or do they start bringing in the finishing touches of the rebuild? Fiala would look great next to Hughes or Hischier, so would Slafkovsky, but like I said above, this seems like a decent starting point for Guerin and Fitzgerald to work with and figure something out.
