<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juggin_Pav</b></div><div>maybe they'd do the lucic deal
but who'd willingly trade for monahan for a legitimate replacement as he has fallen off so much since that one 80 plus point season</div></div>

Probably no one. Eichel was pretty close to the last option. Dallas for Seguin maybe? Monahan + (good) futures for Scheifele/Miller? The problem is right now Monahan is struggling (getting better from the beginning of the year but still struggling), his value is tanked and Calgary has no way of replacing him. It's a weird situation where you cant just get rid of him as that leaves a massive hole and you can't really just ignore the situation either. Maybe the answer is something similar to the original Duchene trade where Ottawa both traded out Turris and added Duchene simultaneously, so they never actually ended up with the hole in their lineup

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drewjenkins</b></div><div>A Canucks fan makes the team and a Philly fan makes a comment.

Both trying to be covert, but embarrassing themselves none the less.

<strong>Interesting stuff boys. </strong></div></div>

Interesting, didn;t know that hockey fans can only comment on "their" teams. Radical concept. I get it you're a leaf fan

If you disagree with my opinions fine, but taking umbrage (and stalking out their profiles) of hockey fans for having an opinion on hockey players not in their system seems rather ridiculous. Its not covert, its called being a hockey fan

Thanks for your additions (by the way, you've done 6 different teams in Armchair GM, but call out other fans for commenting on teams not listed as their favourite? What are you 6 yrs old?)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juggin_Pav</b></div><div>they still got a window to compete along as they have crosby tbh</div></div>

it's not really the point. They don't need to trade 2nds to compete and they are better off trusting Hextall on that. One of the reasons they had to move those picks in the past is JR was just horrible at grading talent and made bad moves. Hextall is much better, a quick look at his offseason of bringing in Heinen and Brock show that. It's all about trusting the process.
They can find a backup if they need to, I'm not sure they really do. It's not like they are winning a cup if Jarry goes down. Almost all teams are out if they lose their starting goalie. It's part of hockey.
So why bother wasting a 2nd. They are pretty much already set to a playoff spot. The rest of the metro is that bad and the only team that looks like a real challenger is CAR. They went from one of the strongest divisions in hockey to blah. That's benefited them. Teams like CBJ getting caught in a sudden rebuild, NYI and PHL falling off the map. All in their favor. The Atlantic has TB and FL and everyone else is suspect. You go down past BOS and you have basically nothing. BOS doesn't really look like much with 1 center. So if there are 8 teams, PIT pretty much assured at this point to be in the top 8. Then it's just a matter of playing well in the playoffs. Your backup isn't going to help with that. If the starter is out, you're basically out. That's true with any team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mediumyeet</b></div><div>I don't hate the Boeser for Fiala swap but I do think the Canucks would need a bit more. Boeser is a year younger and a right hand shot which is more difficult to come by.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mv21227</b></div><div>Canucks decline. Wild would have to add a pick or another player</div></div>

The fact that people even entertain a one for one swap of Boeser for Fiala just goes to show how much they don't know

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>Boeser&gt;Fiala so I don’t know why the Canucks would do this…</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>Right totally because having the better season is more important than the fact that Boeser has had the better career, is younger, and probably gonna be cheaper than Fiala. Terrible idea, lateral movement at best. It doesn’t make the team any better 🙄</div></div>

Some Wild fans are just homers

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drmantalban</b></div><div>Yeah I’m not sure what he wants either, but I think 6x6.5 is fair. I have no basis whatsoever for this, but my gut says that Guerin didn’t go into negotiations last summer with any intention of offering him a long term deal. As such, I don’t put much stock into the reported $7M ask. I think things have changed dramatically for Fiala since the arrival of Boldy and while I don’t think he’d take a discount, I think he’s open to a fair deal. Again, purely just my gut take so not something I’d expect anyone else to side with. But that’s my read on things.</div></div>

Fiala is not getting an AAV of 7M or higher, it's absolutely going to be under 7M

Wild have to add a 3rd round pick minimum to make that Vancouver trade work

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Old_Snowman</b></div><div>Detroit will be trading away players like Leddy at the deadline. They'll need call up dmen to fill his role. Ideally a veteran NHL defenceman so we don't have to throw one of our young prospect dmen to the wolves before they're ready. A guy like stecher fits the bill, he's currently injured but expected back in March. Detroit's not giving up that insurance on the backend for nothing. Stecher should play out his contract in Detroit and then he can go to Vancouver as a UFA if he wants.</div></div>

Stecher was beat out by Lindstrom and then he broke his wrist and the 6 games he did play were average at best. So his value is maybe a 6th or 7th rd pick. He doesn't have enough value for a team to trade for him just to make sure they get the first chance to sign him. He isn't going to resign in Detroit after the season he has had. He leaves as a UFA when Vancouver has interest in him and he is from the west coast of Canada. So trading him to Vancouver for future considerations is better than letting him walk. That's the kind of thing that players notice and it's how an organization becomes a place where players want to play.
