Sujet: Mystery teams
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SimonSelaars3</b></div><div>It’s why I titled it “mystery teams”. Nobody expects any of these teams to trade for Fiala for all the reasons you just listed but it’s not out of the realm that one of these teams comes out of nowhere and makes a deal for Fiala work.</div></div>

"Mystery teams" doesn't exactly make that obvious. Something like "Dark horses" or "Under the radar teams" would get that idea across much better. That or explain it in the description right below the title. Not my place to police how you post, though; just suggestions.

While you're free to think that these are possible, it would only be the faintest of vaguest of possibilities in the case of most of them in my eyes. If we're talking about those teams, I think you'd be looking at something more like a 1-for-1 Nylander swap (I doubt it, but that'd be more plausible IMO) or something larger from PHI (and not involving the 1st) who would presumably be viewing Fiala as a cornerstone piece to build around.

As an EDM fan, I see zero chance they'd be involved. If they were truly prepared to commit that kind of money to a scoring W, they'll commit it to Kane without spending assets.

Sujet: Bold Predictions
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>You get a great D prospect, a great goalie prospect, a middle 6 center, a late 1st. That's not a shortage on quality I just think its the wrong kind of quality for Minnie.</div></div>

Johnson (IMO) projects as a 4/5, I wouldn't call him "great", but he is "good". Problem is we have Lambos, who I think could be more of a 3/4, and O'Rourke, Hunt, and Peart in our system all could be 4-6D. In other words, he doesn't hold the value for us as he would for Buffalo. Portillo could be a starter some day and he's a fine piece, but we have Wallstedt already who would take away minutes from Portillo which would likely squash his development. Mitts (again, IMO) is a bottom 6 center that would be an expensive 4th liner on the Wild. I would be intrigued by him had we not traded for Jost, but I don't see any way Dean plays him above Hartman, Ek, Gaudrea, or even Rossi if he makes the team. That 1st is probably going to be the last pick in the draft, or close to it. If you're trading a 25 year old 85 point winger, sorry, but that's hardly a quality piece.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>I'd go in this order depending on availability.

1) Savoie
2) Lambert
3) Slafkovsky
4) Kemell
5) Nazar
6) Jiricek
7) Nemec

RHD is nice and all. But we need to go with a Center/Winger after moving out Fiala. That's priority number one.

Savoie, Lambert, and Nazar are all center prospects with top six potential and are likely wingers at worst. Slafkovsky and Kemell are excellent options too.

As nice as it is thinking about one of Jiricek or Nemec. It would be foolish to go for one of those guys at that spot. I trust Brackett to do his thing and pick us up and build up our RHD depth with later picks.

We're either going to have a low 1st and 2 2nds in this draft on top of that potential top ten pick or the top ten pick and 3 2nds.

Use the later picks on RHD, and keep the top ten pick for a top-tier center/winger.</div></div>

I've soured on Lambert. He's skilled, but he has a tendency to take nights off and he switched Liiga teams halfway through the season because he wasn't happy with how they played him. Seems like too much of a headcase IMO, and as Guerin has said "there's no room for petty bull****".

As for your point on RD, you aren't wrong, but we do have Rossi who would hopefully make up for some (and ideally all) of the offense we lose by trading Fiala. I'd definitely prefer a forward, but having a top pairing RD prospect is not the worst thing in the world.

Savoie. Right shot center, may have the highest offensive upside in the draft. Hell of a skater, too. He's a bit smaller than you'd like, though, and his size does concern me considering Rossi would be our other top 6 center. That said, the NHL has been trending smaller the past 5-10 years so it may not be a huge issue.

I'd also be happy with Jiricek since I don't think Addison will be the long-term Dumba replacement we thought he'd be. We are super thin at RD in our system and Lambos-Jiricek could be a pretty good top pairing in 5 years.

There's some nice wingers at the top of this class but this franchise is so center-starved and I think Guerin has learned how hard it is to trade for a top line center. You have to draft those guys, and the 5th-6th overall pick in a draft that has a ton of good center prospects would be the perfect opportunity to do just that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeyman1208</b></div><div>Guerin likely won’t have any other option to bridge Boldy, regardless of what happens with Fiala. Will Boldy get more money on his long term deal after a 2 year bridge deal? Yes. By that time we’re out of the cap crunch, though, and the NHL cap ceiling will be higher by that time too.</div></div>

I mean, I guess we will see what happens. I just don’t know if I would want to bridge a guy like Boldy. Then again, it would be hard to sign him for an expensive contract after just one season. I personally would be scared to bridge him, especially if he gets better and demands a lot like Kaprizov did, but I see why you would. You have a lot of money in buyouts. Waiting for them to go down would be awesome!

Thank you for not being ignorant just because we have a different opinion! I hope we can talk more another time, have a good one!
