Sujet: Holtz
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div>They need to draft better. Raty and Lundell (more of a 2C) were both available the last couple of drafts. Seriously MN could have had this group of young centers: JEE, Lundell, Raty, and McBain.

Fiala isn't going to get a 1C in return. They need to get the best skill player possible for him. Holtz (still a longshot imo) is right at/near the top of my list of possible returns. Necas, LA's (they all are questionable) prospect, or OTT 1st are meh consolation prizes to me.</div></div>

I like Raty as a prospect but he has done absolutely nothing in the NHL so we can't say if that's a miss or not yet because we don't know.

And that's not exactly what I meant. I know we aren't getting a 1C for Fiala, but you can trade Fiala for picks to draft one or a prospect (like Raty) that could potentially be one. Again, I like Holtz, but center depth wins cups. Not winger depth.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IcemanJoe</b></div><div>Not 1-1 for the pick but in a package deal, with Dumba or someone else. Yeah, the regression is coming for sure. If I was BG I’d be looking to move more of these guys off career years, but doubt it happens. I don’t think we’ll tank, especially with Kaprisov, but it’s definitely possible we’re outside looking in around trade deadline time and flip some players for picks.</div></div>

If we hadn't bought out Parise and Suter, I'd have moved Hartman this offseason. There's just no way he produces at that same level next year. I love him as a player, but we could get so much in a trade for him with his contract. Problem is we need players like that more than maybe anyone in the league with $13M in dead cap space.

It will be difficult to tank with Kaprizov on our roster but if a lot of players take a step back it wouldn't surprised me, especially with losing a PPG winger. I don't mean that we'd intentionally lose, just that our roster won't be as competitive next year if we lost Fiala and didn't acquire someone like Miller.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IcemanJoe</b></div><div>Yeah I just don’t do that personally. I’d rather keep the pick, or trade it for a good player on his ELC.</div></div>

I don't think you'd get a good player on an ELC with the 24th pick in a very weak draft. I hear you though, I think this team is in a prime position to regress significantly. Hartman, Gaudreau, Foligno, and even Zucc all had pretty insane years compared to what they've accomplished in their careers. I just don't think what we saw last year is sustainable, especially if Fiala is moved and we're banking on Rossi to "replace" his production (I think Rossi will be good eventually but I'd be surprised if he put up huge numbers next season). With that in mind, maybe we're better off "tanking" for a year and getting a lottery pick in what looks to be a much stronger draft next year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IcemanJoe</b></div><div>Yeah sorry, I meant we can’t afford him with an extension. I wouldn’t even consider JT without an extension in place.</div></div>

I'd consider it personally if the objective is to stay competitive. I think Miller's game is a perfect fit for us (especially on the top line, imagine a 100 point player between Kaprizov and Zucc) and it is built for playoff hockey. If we move Fiala for a top pick, we would have two 1sts and two 2nds in the draft this year so we could afford to include our own 1st in a deal and with our deep prospect pool we could afford to give someone up.

Basically you'd be looking at this for the offseason:
In: top 10 pick/top prospect, JT Miller
Out: Fiala, 24 OA, one of Addison/Hunt/O'Rourke/Beckman, possibly a 2nd, and Jost/Kulikov to even out cap

Still have either 2 or 3 picks in the first 3 rounds.
