Value of: Brock Nelson

[seafoam]

Nelson has scored more points in a season than Erikssson-Ek and Rossi, he would literally be MIN's de facto 1C (yes I understand they would have essentially three 2Cs).

 

[DigitalBoldy]

The problem was the offset was a prospect that’s mediocre (specifically Lambos or Peart) or a cap dump to be involved. With the cap dumps, they all had term. Neither of that would suffice as an offset for not including the 1st. From what we’ve seen in here, the projected trades all beat those offers. Even if you guys weren’t including Buium/Stramel/Ohgren/Rossi (no idea why Rossi was even brought up), something of some form of use would have to go back in return. Lou isn’t moving Brock to get back a 2nd and a C tier prospect in return when teams across the board will beat that.

2nd+Heidt was offered by Wild fans and were told that isn't good enough by 99% of Islanders fans. Shoutout to the one Islanders fan that said it was a good deal. Forget their name.

The projected trades in here are next level delusional. Some dude said 1st + prospect equivalent to a 1st + mid pick + roster player. If some team was willing to trade half of that, Nelson would have been traded by now.

This guy looks done with life, not sure if he can contribute to any team anymore.

To be fair, it hasn’t changed much since he was drafted.

Nelson would play top 6 wing for Minnesota.

I don't agree. He's a legit top six C

He’s coming to you guys anyway so why even trade one aaset for him unless

A. You think you can win the cup this year
B. He gets traded somewhere and you don’t want the possibility that he falls in love with the place.

Me personally 2 seconds and a third and I’m sold. We need darts and I don’t care if the board is far away.

A first, mid round and a B prospect (with actual NHL potential) is probably the basis for the deal in all honesty. If you go first, mid pick and roster player, who’s the roster player? A bottom six forward/6th defenseman with too much term/AAV isn’t it.

Putting him over Rossi or Eriksson Ek, where one has to go to 3C and Johansson still exists in the top 6 wing spot, would be monumentally dumb.

Wild fans have been saying exactly this.

The conversation is pointless because our next two 1st rounders have conditions on them and our GM has shown that he isn't willing to trade 1st round picks for rentals. Hell, he's only traded one 2nd for a perceived rental (Fleury). If you follow the rules of that trade, Guerin would offer a conditional 2nd that turns into a 1st if the Wild make the conference finals. That's about the best Minnesota can do.

That wouldn’t even work. You’re not offsetting the 2nd with anything based on the available options. It’s still either cap dumps with term or prospects who have a shot to become fringe players in terms of NHL upside.

Nelson and Romanov for Miller and Soucy

 

[ALEXIVICH CHULKATURI]

Someone is going beat that offer digital but not to fear for I don’t think he’s going out west. And even if he did you got a playoff spot all but locked up. It’s not like he’s going to get traded to blues or Utah and they go on this miracle run and you somehow miss out of a playoff spot. And for the record Heidt is crap. At least offer us Yurok with that 2nd of yours. Hell I’d take Yurok straight up and you can keep the second.

Nelson and Romanov for Miller and Soucy

Personally don’t want JT Miller. He can stay in Vancouver.

What exactly do you think Minnesota should offer?

 

[miscs75]

What exactly do you think Minnesota should offer?

Since there’s no 2025 1st available, A 1st round pick equivalent prospect and something minor (additional pick). None of those prospects were brought up by Wild fans.

Say Yurok one more time! I dare you.

This is worthy of my heartiest "lol"

 

[Sota Popinski]

I would offer Stramel. Not sure where he fits on a Wild team with JEE, Rossi and Yurov.

 

[Sota Popinski]

Yurov is our top or 2nd best prospect and sportsnet had him as the #5 prospect who had yet to play in the NHL before the season started. He isn't getting traded for anything short of one of the top 20 forwards in the league.
