Wouldn't surprise me to see Fiala traded in-season at this point, but if it happens Guerin's going to want to address issues with the current roster. That likely means a center coming back, which I don't think Anaheim has.

If they wait until the draft he probably gets traded for futures. Likely for something similar to what Buffalo got for Reinhart.

Anaheim is set at center once Getzlaf departs after this season.

The Ducks have Zegras, Lundestrom, Steel, Groulx, Grant (4C) and next season Mason McTavish and Jacob Perreault should also be competing for a job down the middle in Anaheim.

Perreault is a winger

And which one of those are they willing to part with that would be an acceptable return for Fiala?

you can have Henrique

only center we prob could move is Sam steel

Well zegras mctavish are too much

Lundy is prob fair, but doubt we’d want to do that


Steel/groulx could prob be moved, steel seems more like the odd man out. obviously Anaheim would add a pretty good size + or 2.

At that point it's not a deal around Steel or Groulx, it's a deal around the other pieces, and then it doesn't really matter if Steel or Groulx are involved or not.

Not a Ducks fan but I can’t see them parting with Zegras or McTavish.

Perreault was drafted as a center but has been playing RW as a professional, probably due to lack of vision as a center and probably poor at the faceoff dot would be my guess, it happens a lot but not a big deal since Perreault has one hell of a shot.

He wasn't even drafted as a center. He was a winger in Sarnia. He's just a winger, that's it.

To be fair I don’t think fiala really brings back the type of center minnasota needs

I guess to clarify: Anaheim doesn't have a center they'd be willing to send back that would justify Minnesota trading Fiala right now rather than after the season is over.

Case in point.

He doesn't. That's why our best bet is 1st+prospect or 2nd+much better prospect.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Fiala has reached to 50 point plateau once in his career and probably would have been more if not for the shorten seasons.

Fiala for Lundestrom would probably be a fair starting point but I believe the Ducks should be adding.

Well you're wrong and still trying to justify wrong information.

This is a very important point (IMO), the caliber of C the Wild want typically aren't traded during the season unless it's a deadline deal for an expiring contract, and I would think the Wild would be reluctant to trade for a top 6 C that needs a contract extension given their next 2-3 seasons cap situation. Deals of this ilk are typically done in the off season when teams have a bit more flexibility. If I was the Wild, I would consider a deadline deal for a short term fix if C is a glaring issue at the TDL and then look at making a deal in the off-season.

Elite prospects and hockeydb also originally had him listed as a center, although he is now listed as his correct position at RW on those sights. Not trying to justify anything.

 

[McDonald19]

Might be fair value, but a bit risky for Anaheim with Getzlaf retiring soon. Lundestrom is already a good 3rd line center at 22, and he appears to be trending towards 2nd line center status.

That's why it helps to know what you're talking about, rather than just looking at a website like CapFriendly, EliteProspects or HockeyDB for your information.

Here is Jacob Perreault’s scouting report.
SCOUTING REPORT
It should not come as a surprise that he is a talented sniper, since his father Yanic was one of the most prolific marksmen in CHL history. So, scoring goals runs in the family. Has a strong lower base, so he is not easy to bump off the puck. Can play both center and wing, though his goal-scoring prowess and lack of elite playmaking skills could make him a permanent winger at the highest level. Skates a bit better than his father did, so his transition to the pro game should be slightly more seamless. Displays good hockey sense and always seems to be in the right place at the right time. His pedigree should help him in the pros.
Long Range Potential: Talented, versatile goal-scoring forward with upside.

Agreed. If Guerin really wants to add a center right now it'll probably have to be a rental and it won't be cheap. It's not impossible that he could recoup any spent futures in the offseason by trading a forward or two to make room for Boldy, Rossi, Beckman, etc... but I really don't see the point in pushing the chips in on this team right now. Going into the playoffs with Talbot and Kahkonen in goal should be enough to temper any expectations of a deep run.
