I have to imagine fitz can get this done without giving up the ~5th overall pick.
Hes a very good player any way you want to cut it, but hes not 9-10+ million AAV kind of guy. I think fiala is like a 7.5 million AAV kind of guy when playing at his best. I also think we have effectively seen his best, or close to it, in the last two seasons as well. Anybody can have an outlier season, but I think hes squarely a 65-85 point guy for his prime.
If the devils were looking at a guy like Tkachuk, whom I think is on a different level in terms of deserved asset return and contract value, I would be very much at peace with trading the 2022 1st rounder. It just doesnt make sense to me when it comes to Fiala. From a devils perspective I think he probably compares closest to Bratt, (only 3 years older,) and theres no way I expect a top 5 pick in return for Bratt either.
The devils have a ton of talented assets. I think there has to be a path to acquire fiala from these TWO LISTS (BELOW IN TRADES SECTION)
I've split them up between essentially veteran players on low-mid AAV deals and prospects. With the exception of basically Tatar youre getting a talented young player with a few years of RFA control from the veteran list. The prospect list is full of 1st/2nd rounders or guys that have shown a high likelihood of being a full-time nhler as soon as next season for some.
It comes down to whether the player you pick is projected to be better than fiala. If he’s not, go for it. But I think anyone they can get will be better. We have to remember that jersey isn’t a contender, no matter how much they wanna be. The difference make is what the player they get, either through a trade or making the pick, is gonna do when they are a contender. I think they should keep it, unless Minnesota throws Rossi, boldly, or Addison and a mid round pick in the deal.
So now the 5th overall pick is worth a top prospect plus a point per game player? Y’all are in way over your heads.
