That trade was Hall+ b prospect for 18oa + a conditional 3rd + 3 b prospects.

The equivalent would be something like:
2023 1st (top 3 protected)
2024 Conditional 3rd (if NJ wins a playoff round, pick becomes a 2nd)
Nikita Okhotyuk
Fabian Zetterlund
Jesper Boqvist

No...not really because Mercer is included and Devils don't need Addison.
Greenway is probably a step above a lot of UFA alternatives, but not so much as we would ask for him to be included.

Fiala...for...

one of - Zacha, Johnsson, Tatar, Boqvist, Zetterlund, Walsh
one of - Kuokkanen, Clarke, Thompson, Stillman
one of - 2022 2nd round pick (#37), 2023 2nd round pick

(something like that)

I think I just threw up a bit reading this. Where's HeadHighSauce? They were telling me how Devils proposals were good offers and referenced 2023 1st+Foote/Gritsyuk as the typical trade offer. In reality, the above is the typical awful Devils proposal.

Using Reinhart/Buchnevich as the comparables is hilariously misguided. Fiala would have had that value prior to this past season. Since he had a point per game season his value has definitely gone up significantly.

Hall being traded to Arizona from New Jersey is the closest comparable to Fiala in recent memory.

Minnesota can clear cap other ways.

Guerin is also on record saying he likes Fiala and wants to have him back. But that doesn’t grab the clicks or fit your narrative so obviously it just gets tossed aside, right?
