Quoting: RazWild
Well, I think if we dropped the pick and did a strait up 1v1 trade swap of Fiala for Vilardi that could make some sense too.
That said, I'd still prefer Turcotte if we could get him back in the trade.
I'm not as married to the idea of needing a center back as I used to be, but I love Vilardi. I just really can't see LA trading any of their top guys, or NHL ready young guys. Byfield, Turcotte, Vilardi, I just don't think it's realistic that they trade those guys. They're not
that close to competing, and any one of those three (or countless others) could slide to wing if need be.
But assuming they like Eriksson Ek and Rossi at center next season, and see Khusnutdinov as a center moving forward, we don't
need a center back for Fiala. We just need skill. Looking at wingers opens up our options significantly.
