That goaltending tandem is fire lol

easily worst goaltending tandem perhaps in hockey history at all levels

Flames aren't going to be in the market for a goalie. They already have a really good backup in Vladar

First of all, Fiala doesnt get that in Minnesota, second why not get MAF who would likely sign a team friendly deal as has been indicated?

I mean, if you think that Fiala would take LESS, then cool, we'll sign him for less. If you're saying he wants/deserves more... I don't disagree really. Second, consensus is that MAF would get similar to Talbot dollars which is 3.5M. This is simply an illustration that you can have a serviceable starter, though I agree Holtby isn't ideal.

Saw Grieg and a protected first from ottawa for fiala, thought that was exactly what was needed for a future kid line in Minnesota and save some dough for a legit needed tandem to be relevant in the playoffs. Still believe this squad could be a Cinderella playoff team this year, possibly like 91

In terms of Fiala, Im saying if they can't get him for less than 7.5 they will trade him.

Generally that is the accepted belief in MN... Dumba has been valued over MANY of our prospects (Tuch etc.) so I agree with you he will most likely end up traded. This is simply an academic exercise.

Which has, well, lets just say not worked out historically. But why not do it again, right? Not like there is an offensive RHD in the AHL averaging over a PPG right now.

I fully agree with you. I wanna keep him, desperately. This team, and us fans, have not seen a player like him since Gabby. Having him, Kaprizov, Boldy, and Rossi coming up, is a boon for us.

Can’t see the Sabres having any interest at all in Jost

Hans don't need / want kulikov.
Especially at That price.

I literally said in the "Team Explanation" that I don't care about trade specifics.

Kulikov isn't fetching a 3rd tho
