Thread: Kaprizov, Fiala and Eriksson Ek Contract Values
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rooney</b></div><div>Hey Wild fans,

I was trying to create a 2021/22 AC-GM for the Wild but had a hard time predicting what the titled players would get dollar/term wise. Admittedly, I am not a huge Wild fan so figured I would reach out to users who watch them more regularly.

What are your contract prediction this off-season for Kaprizov, Fiala and Eriksson Ek? Looking for term/AAV.

Thanks in advance for the feedback!</div></div>

I'm sorry, I thought someone else would've responded by now. I didn't respond when I first saw this because the truth is I have no idea on how much any 3 of these players are going to get. Fiala and Ek are in a position to seriously fluctuate their worth based on this season's results. Kaprizov is in a tricky situation. I believe he's in the rare grouping of Free Agent where he can't sign an offer sheet with anyone. So that should affect his value, but from how much? I don't know.

Here's where I personally see it myself at this EXACT moment (could change week to week):

Ek: $4x4
Fiala: $5x5
Kap: ...actually I have no clue on value or terms. I want to say Charlie McAvoy as a comp but his 3 year deal ends in RFA status...anything Kap signs will be UFA ending. So I'm guessing long-term but I don't know any comps for this situation.

Thread: Marcus Foligno
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jnowariak</b></div><div>Ryan Hartman from the Wild, he’s similar to Foligno in a lot of ways and playin* great hockey right now. Your ask is pretty big though. Gritty, can play top 6, also affordable. Might as well ask to chop down the biggest tree in the forest with a herring.</div></div>

<a href="/users/MatthewsDynasty" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@MatthewsDynasty</a> I agree with Jnowariak here. Michael Russo brought up a great point that the Wild might be forced to move Ryan Hartman or risk losing him because he arbitration number might be too high for the Wild. Leafs could use him as a rental for this year if they're looking to get grittier. Due to his size, he's not as gritty as Foligno. However, he also is very skilled for a grinder. So if you're going to trade for a Wild winger...he's the most likely trade candidate.

Thread: Best hockey memory
Mine was when my buddies and I attended a Wild game in Colorado. We had like a group of 12 I think? Anyways, we decided to tailgate for the game. We knew it was against the rules but we figured, who hell cares? Worst case scenario we hop over to the nearby bars. We didn't realize how much of a hit it was going to be. Of course, we were the only people tailgating so naturally a ton of people stopped by for a beer and to say hi (both friend and foe) before the game. We were broke college kids so we had a small foreman grill that we brought to the game. One problem, we forgot a pan to use for cooking. So had to improvise and use this bag of toothpicks as skewers for our hot dogs lol.

Anyways, so we get into the game and there are a LOT of Wild fans in the building. Every time the Go Avs Go chant started, we would immediately respond with "Let's Go Wild." The game was heavily in our favor. Final score was 4-0 and by the 3rd period all you could were Wild fans cheering. It was awesome. We were also prepared if they were to win. We had a few bottles of champagne that we sprayed all over the nearby parking area as if we just won a championship (I know, it was excessive but we were drunk college students). It was just all around fun time and can't wait to visit my buddies in Colorado and do that all over again!
