Value of: Kevin Fiala

[AKL]

I noticed that Minnesotas only real fault is that their PP isn't great.
Would a trade like....
Barrie, 1st for Fiala, Benn work?

No, not at all

With Dumba, Spurgeon, and a NHL ready Addison on the right side, we are fine with smallish RH, PMD. I expect MN's PP will fix itself soon. I also don't think that MN would have much patience for Barrie's brand of "Defence".

I just figured his PP ability along with you guys having a really good coach could cover for a lot of that.

For me they need to keep Fiala they will not have better in a trade value

Yeah this is true. I like getting Brackett a couple more picks if it comes down to it.

Cap.

With a hot streak incoming, Fiala ain't going nowhere.

The same, just sign him. Maybe even find a deal for a middling center at the trade deadline without spending a first.

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

Fiala is a locker room jackpot with some heavy bags built up. The number of teams wanting to take him on is going to be smaller

Nope

 

[Sticktape]

What kind of dollars do we expect Fiala to command next summer anyways? He isn't exactly lighting it up in his contract year.

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

Boeser for Fiala and a second. He gets to go home and Fiala becomes more cost controlled for the Canucks going forward.

Minnesota's probably not going to be able to extend Boeser.

I’m sure they would make room. Hometown guy with 40 goal upside is worth moving some things around. Fits the window.
Canucks only do this due to cap space going forward.

 

[Prior]

Boeser for Fiala makes zero sense for Minnesota. Never mind adding to Fiala.

 

[AKL]

At best, Fiala for Boeser is a lateral move for Minnesota. Not sure why we'd do that, let alone add.

stat watching, not much. watching tape and seeing how incredibly snake bitten he is? 7+ easily. he creates and creates a lot. he has smoked iron at least 20 times this year and dangles through defends just to barely miss or the puck bounces. he is an offensive machine who just cannot finish right now but if his shooting % goes to at least 10 instead of his current 4, he will still have a shot at hitting 40 goals.

 

[Gliff]

Anaheim should be all over this.

 

[Eggtimer]

Devils should be all over getting a legit winger ( they have one - Bratt and thats it)
But .. they wont . Fitz will sit on his hands and wait for another 3-4 years to hopefully magically not suck .

the only issue is that I assume Minnesota would only wants picks/prospects that fans on here wouldn’t want to give up.

 

[seafoam]

Beauvillier for Fiala.

Beauvillier plus what?

Like who?

 

[AKL]

Like who?

McTavish, Drysdale...so nothing too crazy.

Seriously though, I'd imagine it would include a prospect like Perreault, Zellweger, Pastujov, maybe Tracey, Thrun or Lacombe. I also think Lundestrom could be of interest, even though he's not a prospect anymore. It would just depend on what Guerin is interested in.
