That's not how it works, If Fiala has 10 bidders bidding on him. It not only helps Guerin to get his offer but it also ups what Fiala will get on his contract.
No its the opposite. The more Fiala wants in contract and the more narrow he makes his list, the fewer trade partners Guerin has to work with.
If Fiala says, I will sign any offer with any team - Guerin can start a bidding war
If Fiala says, I want 5-6 years at $5-6 million - Guerin will likely have 10 teams (maybe more) to find best trade offer
If Fiala says, I want 7-8 years at $7-8 million - Guerin will have only a few teams to work with
If Fiala says, I want to sign in Los Angeles (would otherwise sign QO) - Guerin will have LA and maybe a couple teams looking for a rental
The more demands Fiala has on contract, the less the Wild get in return.
