Nylander for Parayko trade was also reported

After doing some more digging it looked like dubas made the offer in 2017-2018 during the Fenton era of the wild. Fenton declined the trade.

GMs should know never to trade star forwards for star RD, although maybe it wasn't a 1 for 1. Perhaps Kaprizov was in the deal since he refused to sign with the Wild until Guerin got it done. Dubas has brought over a lot of KHL FA over so maybe he thought he could do the same with Kirill if acquired.

I did come across an article saying that Fenton tried getting Nylander.
