Ya i dont really see a trade working out. If the wilds are rebuilding, they’d be trading staal or suter anyways.

Hockey ruins all my personal relationships
Sens would probably be interested in Brodin + Coyle. But I don't think they would make good trade partners. The deal would most likely revolve around Mike Hoffman going out, but I'm not sure of other pieces. The money would be trickey for the Sens given their situation, and I'm not sure the Wild would accept what the Sens would be willing to part with.
Hadn't thought of the Sens, but given the reasonable contracts of Coyle and Brodin, they might actually be attractive to them. Maybe them and some good (i.e. Kunin, Sokolov,etc..)prospects/picks for the "elephant in the room" if they determine they can't sign him. I think Dumba or Spurgeon would be a better choice instead of Brodin. Can't see MN having a line up of EK, Spurgeon, Dumba. Too many RHD, too much offense.

Not really. With the cap hike we should be able to sign everyone. We're dealing with Can't Make it Out of the First Round things and Several of Our Most Important Players are Getting Quite Old things.

The Jets are just a big mean team... MIN shouldnt be blowing things up because they ran into one of the best teams in round 1.
adding a #2C and getting healthy are the 2 main needs.
I don't think the Jets series is weighing heavily on anyone's position, really. It's another data point, but the trends are roughly the same. The people that want to blow the team up have wanted to for awhile now and the people that have wanted to play things conservatively still generally want to do that. Overall it seems like a good time to explore options, though.

Only thing that makes sense (for Minnesota), with the premise of the thread being both of them packaged together, is O'Reilly from Buffalo.
Money washes out basically even (Brodin + Coyle = $7.367 vs. O'Reilly = $7.5). Buffalo downgrades their center spot behind Eichel to upgrade their LD spot over Beaulieu/Gorges/McCabe. Minnesota gets a very good prime-aged center (a nice spot between 33/34 year old Koivu/Staal and 20 year old Eriksson Ek), upgrades Coyle, but takes a very large risk on their LD situation. I don't know if it could be tweaked to include McCabe coming to Minnesota to give us another LD option, but that screws up the money a little bit.

Ehhhh, I'm kinda tired of dealing with Buffalo. Everything we get from them is either garbage or eventually turns into it.

a little pricey but would be a perfect fit for MIN. He is exactly the type of player missing on that team.

I'm not sure about if that's what we're missing. I'd like the Wild to become a lot faster, which speed doesn't seem to be a great strength with ROR (unless I'm wrong).

That's only because almost everything we have is garbage.
Even the occasional second round picks Fletcher keeps sending over in Secret Santa exchanges turn out to be a lot of hokum.
What pieces are you willing to move then?? Cause obviously a shakeup is needed

Doesn’t Coyle play LW? I know he’s a RHS but I thought he played better on the LW. From what I’ve heard he’s LW but can also fill in at C I never heard him playing RW

Probably because he’s the only NHL caliber D other than Risto and they’re looking to add to their defense

I don't love it but I also don't hate it. I also don't know how much RoR moves the needle for us.
Definitely think you are thinking of someone else. Coyle has never played left wing.

I think Coyle would be really good with Johnny-Monny-Coyle. Much needed size and grit to that line but wayyyyy more skilled than Ferland. Or slot in on the second line with
Chucky-Backlund-Coyle --- this would be nightmare to play against.
I'm a little stumped as to what we could ask Calgary for. Not that Calgary doesn't have anything of value, it just seems like we have a lot of what (I assume) would be on offer. The closest I could come was something like Coyle for Brodie with a subsequent Brodin-for-forward trade, but I dunno if that helps us or interests Calgary.
