Quoting: Morzski
Yep agreed. Fiala is playing a lot better than Brown this season and think the above trade would require an add on the Ott side.
Brown is a luxury type you can have on your 3rd line. He will shutdown other lines and produce offense, which is added bonus.
Fiala is a pretty good top-6 forward though so he is worth more.
But considering (incoming) contracts and 2-way play, the difference is not going to be as substantial as people think. Brown himself would return a 1st and a decent prospect.
I think a fair trade for Fiala would be :
Brown, Connor
2023 1st round pick (OTT) (Top-5 protected)
OR even
Brown, Connor
Roby Jarventie/Lassi Thomson/ Filip Gustavsson
2023 2nd round pick (OTT)
Gustavsson would be interesting for Minny, no?
