Warhippy Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 1 minute ago, wildcam said: Kevin Fiala 25, 5'10 had 85 points will be on Devils list to trade for before draft ..Fiala RFA will demand over 7 million and Wild will have cap issues with Parise and Suters buyout kicking in next season 12 million-2022-23 - 14 million following 2 seasons.... So 1st rounder #5 2022, Ty Smith, Zacha - will be starting point... So lemme get this straight Fiala, a LW would be worth the #5 pick this year, Ty Smith on D. Zacha as a throw in. As a starting point. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild will have cap issues for next 3 years with buyouts of Praise and Suter.. I can see lots of player trades around draft this July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 23 minutes ago, Warhippy said: Cool. Debrincat. Awesome Fiala. Where's that solid veteran presence though? Is Miller really that solid veteran presence. Miller has some of his short-comings forgiven because of his production but is he really the example to follow - the guys aren't all going to be top end players. If you are building a contender with a lot of youth wouldn't you prefer someone that is on the right side of the puck and doesn't give up on plays or tries to dangle through guys when the safe play is getting it in deep? Minnesota has entrusted that veteran role to Foligno. It's Boone Jenner in Columbus. Don't know who could be available but if it's about culture and making sure of playing the right way - those type of players seem better suited. For production, Miller if not for his age, so looking at younger options there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can’t, then he’s probably in another jersey come October next season. Miller had a breakout year, a career year. I am not convinced that he replicates this season next season, let alone the seasons after that. If anything, I can see him already declining and producing 60-70 points. I mean, that’s nothing to sneeze at, but it’s a far cry from the 99 he’s produced this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think other teams in the league could probably have OEL for a decent return, especially if the Canucks retained some salary for OEL. I wouldn’t want to move Hughes. He’s easily this franchise’s best defenseman, no doubt about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when things were tensed with Tocchet he was only willing to waive for Vancouver and possibly Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming it’s better here in Vancouver for him, right? But if he’s comfortable here, then I guess you can’t move him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
