It’s funny, cause Tuch is almost a perfect fit for the kind of player I imagine Guerin is after for a top 6 role. Bonus points for being right handed too. You’d think more Wild fans would be on board with something like that. I guess some are really attached to Brodin… To a fault.
Dude Foligno was amazing all year, literally was. He's not getting demoted just because you think he should play on 4th line which he's better than. Him playing on 3rd line and literally being injured free for the most showed his worth. Not only with scoring/ points, but him bringing the physical force that wild need. As much as I don't like/ hate the trenin signing, it kept Foligno from fighting that much which allowed him to also have an Amazing year.That’s because our winger depth sucked. Foligno was promoted to the second line in the playoffs
So I guess you’d rather have Ohgren on the 4th line? That’s pretty shitty for his development.
did I say this or are you putting word I didn't say? Dude Quinn sucks and I have enough of wingers in my life, and I am sure every wild fan will say this. We need C and one W. Ohgren can be on 3rd line with Foligno
I really have no opinion on whether Minnesota wants or needs Quinn, but I think he'd be a smart buy low target for someone. He had a pretty underwhelming season, but it's entirely possible a lot of that is coming off two significant lower body injuries including a ruptured achilles. This blurb about Quinn was from the beginning of last year:
Foligno has nothing to do with Quinn… so if the team has a stick up their ass about Foligno being on the 3rd line, then Ohgren (a LW) has to be on the 4th line. Kaprizov-Boldy-Foligno-Ohgren
Well, Quinn is more proven than Ohgren and you’re telling me that Foligno can’t play anywhere but the 3rd line… So you get Ohgren on the 4th line.
Quinn has sucked for a while now. At some point you need to give a chance to a player like Ohgren over acquiring the same player, especially at winger. I've had enough of these wingers' crap when for like a billion years, we've been begging for C and depth at C. As long as we acquire a Top C and depth at C, I couldn't care less about who's at winger next to Foligno
Boldy, Kap, Zucc for next year. That's three of wild top 4 winger Core. Zucc isn't playing on 3rd line. So technically, it's going to be one for next year. As for Third line winger, Put Hartman or Ohgren there. If Bill Guerin goes with his Fascination, and signs Brock Nelson, Wild C core will be Erikson Ek, Brock Nelson, and Danila Yurov. So where do you play Ohgren or Hartman? Especially if one sees the Hartman who was amazing in top 6 role in Playoff?
I’m all for giving Ohgren a chance, but Foligno would need to be on the 4th line. Ideally, a shutdown grinder 4th line of Foligno-Hartman-Gaudreau.
if we going to play Hartman on 4th line, then trade him. He pouts and is always in his head when it comes to being on 4th line for some weird reason. When he's elevated is when wild seem to get his bad play, so trade him if plan is to play him on 4th line. I want Gaudreau gone. With all due respect, I just don't agree with you on putting Foligno on 4th line. Especially not after the year and playoffs that he had.
Byram is a physical player.....he's about what you would expect for a guy who plays in both ends but he isnt great on D just very good. Anyone who says he doesnt play D obviously doesnt watch him at all.
Sorry to interrupt your inter-Wild-fan fued.....but what now?
It's easy to gauge
It's easy to gauge how good Power will be. If Buffalo trades him, he will be a Norris contending #1 for the next 15 years. If Buffalo keeps him, he will.be yet another middling defenseman who considered a bust.
yeah how about you comment at me instead of being a bully and talking crap and being an asshole to people
It’s not EA NHL franchise, you don’t just trade Brodin for a “more dependably healthy D” because injuries can’t be controlled for and that player will undoubtedly be worse. Dahlin is the only Sabres D that’s comparable to Brodin’s impact at the moment and Buffalo isn’t giving him up ever. Teams entering contention windows don’t trade away signed top pair defenders, but you add depth guys to the roster that can show up and do an adequate job for the 15 regular season games he might miss while the rest of your roster is strong enough to still win. As long as Brodin is healthy for the playoffs, that is what matters.
