Wild trade massive overpay.
I wouldn’t give that much for kuemper. Kosk is pretty darn good as our starter and that’s just too much to pay to add a second goalie rather run with smith or find a cheaper to acquire option to play behind kosk

Ennis just re-signed.

The Wild wouldn't take that deal with Neal removed, why would they remotely consider it with him in it? lol

why TY ennis why not archi way more expensive probably going to be our extra forward and why trade bouchard way better then most of our D man

Please re-read what @JayTea wrote and commit it to memory!

Posts like these make me realize how much disrespect the Wild get nationally. Not that I care, but I wouldn't be shocked if Fiala ended next season with 80-90 points and we'd still probably see posts like this.

Yes... yes he would. Which is exactly why it will never happen and why he's untouchable. He's literally our best player and he's only 23. From February through to the stoppage last year he was the best player in the league, he couldn't be stopped. It took a global pandemic shutting down the league for that to happen. He then proceeded to show up for us during the play-ins... which if you haven't noticed is kinda a much needed first for our organization since Gaborik.

Ask your self this. Would you trade Nugent-Hopkins for that pakage? Yamamoto? McDavid or Draisaitl might not stack up in terms of value in play here but they are no less then the two most important players on the Oilers roster. Fiala, Kaprizov and Rossi are the central core of our roster moving forward and this does nothing to help a team that's currently entering an on-the-fly rebuild.

Read below...



Two good prospects, a cap dump and a 2nd might seem like an overpayment by Oilers fans, but it's not. It's probably the bare minimum.... and still nowhere near enough.

If you expect Fiala to be a 40 goal scorer with McDavid then maybe you should try paying out like he is. Fiala creates his own chances, he scores for himself and doesn't need anyone to do it for him. During his hot streak, he scored in spite of Staal not because of him.

Yes the prospects you're giving up are two really good prospects but they'll only ever be two really good NHL players. Fiala is a high-end talent, who if he reaches his full potential, could possibly even be among the most elite wingers in the league someday. Again, something we haven't had since Gaborik. And there's a good chance Fiala will help us forget Gabby, once and for all.

Fiala was our lone bright-spot last year. This coming year we will finally see Kaprizov come over, something we've been waiting for... for five years. Throw Rossi into the mix, plus our outstanding prospect pool. The future has never looked brighter, because for the first time in franchise history we'll be fielding not one but two to three high-end finishers/players.

So, to make a long story short...

NOT GONNA HAPPEN!

*Whew! I don't know about you, but I feel better getting that off my chest! Apologies for the novel!*

Posts like these remind me what a dumpster fire 90% of the ACGM actually are. lol

Arizona declines. Probably need to add a nice prospect as a late, late first won't cut it.

The Wild decline. Please pay more attention to Minnesota and also, pay for the consistent 40 goal scorer you think you can get.

Ennis just resigned and isn't worth that much

If Chiasson was gonna get moved for a 5th, it probably would've already happened

Bouchard is basically untouchable for the oilers. I get that fiala is a top line winger but you have to trade at least two firsts for him
