Fiala only has one year of team control left. Arizona is not a desirable destination. I don't think he signs with a team who are deliberately tanking for the next few seasons.

I was going to say this, thanks lol now I don't have to. The thing people need to understand is that any team trading for Fiala needs to know for sure he will sign an extension for them. I'm really hoping we can keep him though, Kaprizov and Fiala are both deadly in the O-zone.

Arizona is very obviously tanking. It is the most obvious tank job since Tim Murray ran the Sabres. Even if Fiala would sign a 7 year contract, I don't think they want to make their big additions yet. There are two possible franchise players at the top of the 2023 draft. If Arizona finishes last place, they have a very good chance at getting one of them.
