Oh, ok then. Don't bother explaining the difference, I'll just take your opinion as gospelThere's a big difference.
Greenway was resigned to 3 years extension starting next season beginning. So you don't see the difference?Oh, ok then. Don't bother explaining the difference, I'll just take your opinion as gospel
Is this factual info? Guess I'm not sure how what went on behind the scenes is anything other than conjecture on any of our parts. I get there may be inklings that would make you think that, but we don't know any of that at all.
It's not irregular for RFA negotiations to go into August/September, especially for the high-enders. Guerin filed for salary arbitration on August 2nd, which probably means that he had his mind made up about things already, and if he was "pissed off" about that, then again, it's much more of a reflection on him (or his general thoughts about Fiala), than it is about Fiala playing hardball or being tough to deal with or anything like that.
Did that extension come with a no trade clause? Is he the only player on the team that can be traded to make room to sign Fiala?Greenway was resigned to 3 years extension starting next season beginning. So you don't see the difference?
So, Zucc for Zegras?as a Ducks fan who wants to see Fiala on Zegras’ wing, I hate this for me
Only in the final year, and it's only an 8 team no trade list. Most of their Dmen have NMC or NTC's but it looks like only Zucc has one among the forwards at least for this and next season.Did that extension come with a no trade clause? Is he the only player on the team that can be traded to make room to sign Fiala?
Players highly ever get traded after signing an extension that they haven't even started. Also the grief line isn't getting broken upDid that extension come with a no trade clause? Is he the only player on the team that can be traded to make room to sign Fiala?
What comments?He literally resigned greenway to 3 years deal. Also his comments after deadline basically says fiala is gone. Seems the negotiations pissed off Guerin last summer, and he never changed his mind about fiala. What could be an issue, this same agent represents mcBain, and dumba. So dumba would be his only client on wild.
So Russo commented, not Guerin. Russo also was quoted as saying that Goligoski wouldn't be re-signed- how'd that work out?Russo. He said Guerin almost traded fiala last summer because of how bad negotiations went
I don't know for sure what he was referring to, but there was this.What comments?
Granted I'm reading into that a little, but going by the team's handling of Fiala to this point it doesn't sound like they've decided to change course there.“We talk about it all the time, so it’s been clear in my head for a while,” Guerin said. “I know what’s coming, I know what we’re going to have to do. I don’t worry about it. I know what we’re going to do.”
I'm not sure of Ottawa's apparent like for Fiala or desire to get him. He's good, not great. Not sure how he fits the rebuild (except Dorion says the rebuild is over LOL)
I'd say he fits by being stapled to Stutzle with one of Giroux or Brown on the other wing.I'm not sure of Ottawa's apparent like for Fiala or desire to get him. He's good, not great. Not sure how he fits the rebuild (except Dorion says the rebuild is over LOL)
Brannstom isn't needed. Minnesota has 8 d under contract next year with Calen addison still in Iowa. Ryan O, Carson lambos, Damon hunt, possibly jack peart signed and also in Iowa next year. So even if wild end up trading Dmitry kulikov, they still don't have roomTo Ott

To Minn
Brannstrom (former 1st rounder)
Greig (former 1st rounder)
2nd 2022 (likely 35-40th overall)
So I admit ignorance in regards to this player. He is really worth this much?To Ott

He may not be “great” but he’s really, really, really good. A legit first line star winger who at 25 is just coming into his own. Every team that can afford to pay him should have a desire to acquire him.I'm not sure of Ottawa's apparent like for Fiala or desire to get him. He's good, not great. Not sure how he fits the rebuild (except Dorion says the rebuild is over LOL)
He’s a 25 year-old first line winger. Those don’t become available that often.So I admit ignorance in regards to this player. He is really worth this much?
And the most important fact is that he was doing that with the likes of elite talents like:Over the past 3 years, Fiala is 12th among LW's in scoring. 35th in scoring among all forwards. He has outscored Stone, Ehlers, Bergeron, Barzal, Laine, amongst many others during that time. He is clearly a 1st line talent, and what's more, a 1st line talent in his prime. It's not his fault that his light has been dimmed by the best forward than MN has ever had, Kaprizov, who gets preferential line matchups and partners over him (as he should).
