Around the NHL: 2024-25 Season, Are You Not Entertained?

I think the Wild did a really good job here, their future defense potentially looks great with Faber, Buium and Jiricek. It's already good though.

Agreed. This team needs a proven NHL vet on the back end..

Esp since Buffalo's 1st is trending to be earlier than Minny's...by like 17 spots.

I agree, if you spend those assets on improving the roster, rather than drafting all those picks again, and 24-year-old Johnson continues to play in Rochester.

Jesus, that's a HAUL by Columbus.

Would MUCH rather put the equivalent assets into acquiring proven talent.

Well, I think Jiricek definitely deserves that 1st, unless we're not going to tank for Hagens, we're not going to, are we?

That’s what I thought on the return Columbus received for Jiricek. On the main board they seem to think Minnesota won the trade at least from the posts that I read.
