Not appealing at all for Minnesota.

You sure? I think this is more than they will be able to get since they have zero leverage

MN doesn’t have “zero leverage”. Multiple teams interested in Fiala means there is leverage. Your offer here likely gets beat. And really it’s likely we’re looking for a top 6 C or way to get a top 6 C (draft pick) for Fiala. BG has tried to acquire a legit top 6 C for 2 years by shopping Dumba, and hasn’t found a taker. Now he’s got the ammo to do so.

EJ isn’t a cap dump, COL isn’t doing that.

A late 1st + meh player + late 2nd? I’d rather take Fiala to arbitration and go for it again this year than accept that trade.

I thought about Comtois too. I've liked the way he played against MN. Then I've seen him play against other teams and wonder if that is the same player.

I don't like him in a Fiala trade. I'd be interested in a Jost/Comtois swap though.
