Quoting: Carson
Wild are better off keeping fiala. Connor brown is a free agent the following year also like fiala, needing a raise and had less value than fiala. So replace Connor brown whose also older. Change the picks
Connor Brown is only 2.5 years older than Fiala. Yes he will need another contract but he will cost AT LEAST 2 M$ less per season than Fiala
Some facts that people may not know/realize :
Fiala scored 5 more points than Brown last season. Only 4 PP points for Brown, 14 PP points for Fiala (so Brown outscored Fiala at even strength)
63.3 oZS% for Fiala compared to 34.0 oZS% for Brown
Brown 2nd in takeaways, Fiala 14th
Brown voted 17th for the Selke, Fiala not Selke caliber
Brown 3rd most used forward on the PK in the whole league. Fiala played 16:34 of PK in the whole season
Fiala is more skilled and flashy (if it was all about skill, Hoffman would be one of the best forwards in the league and Kovalev one of the greatest of all time), Connor Brown is very impactful all over the ice though. I would consider making that swap to get slightly younger (but Sens don't need to get younger lol) but mostly to find a sniper for Stutzle. I wouldn't give a ton on top of Brown to get Fiala.
OP proposal is very reasonable, maybe even more than what it would cost in REALITY
