I’ve been saying this — Minnesota has the assets to part with and the desire to go for the cup and strike while their iron’s hot.

Miller/Boeser would be a great fit to bring them to the next level, and they have assets like Rossi/Jiricek/+ that are very juicy. Not saying there’s a clear deal, but it makes sense

Power + Cozens for Pettersson would get my attention. Not sure why Zibanejad keeps getting mentioned like he has much value at this point.

I'd be open to it if they took back some bad salaries (and/or retain on Cozens) and maybe added a decent pick/prospect...not sure how you take on both without dropping more money. I think Cozens is a decent reclamation project, but i wouldn't be interested in paying a really high valuation on him.

No, that would be JT Miller.
Lmaoooo

I don't understand how a deal with the Wild would work at all. The Canucks would have to take salary back, and basically everyone in MIN is signed for term with an NMC or is an untouchable like Kaprizov or Boldy.
f***, I wish we had drafted Boldy instead of Podkolzin. That was such a bad pick in hindsight. Caufield was right there as well.

Are there any big Marco Rossi fans on this board?
He’s a good player but on a bit of a PDO bender this year so you’d be buying high and will be 24 to start next season so is probably starting to reach his ceiling. Not good enough to be the centrepiece for a Pettersson deal, and I can’t imagine the team would be thrilled at being so small down the middle if they trade Miller for him.

Was a very good defender in Serie A back in the day. Now appears to manage Hungary's National Team.

Wyatt Johnston and Harley is my ideal trade for Petterson. No interest in Rossi whatsoever.

Getting one of those two would be remarkable from Dallas. Johnston himself is arguably worth more than EP after his strong playoff performance.

No interest in Rossi from myself as well.

Top-4 Defenceman

  • Might have to deal with what they got until Hronek is back. enough is enough! we've seen how the D is operated without hughes and hronek. even with hughes out of the lineup or not on the ice. its still bloody awful. this is alvins fault. stop stalling around and pull the trigger. by the time he makes a move, this team would be out of the playoff picture completely.
then alvin will have to face the music.

Pull the trigger on what exactly? Every GM in the league knows they're desperate, they'll get bent over if they try to force anything.

The situation is bad, and it's of their making. It is however what they're stuck with, and sometimes not making things worse and being patient is the best play.

I wouldn’t say it’s entirely of their own making, we’ve had terrible injury luck and our top 2 centres are behaving like children.

all quiet on the boeser front is the most significant thing in that news imo.

it's massively in the canuck's interest to figure out boeser and then know their cap situation next year before they make a big trade. if boeser is gone they have a lot more cap flexibility to do multi-player trades.

so silence to me seems important, although i am not sure what it signifies.

The Boeser situation is very similar what happened with Horvat. Mgmt came straight out and said they won't let high value UFA's walk without getting assets back at the deadline.

Because 'wanting to win' is a hockey player platitude, nothing more.

He did take less than he could have gotten. $13m~ AAV wasn't out of the question.

The irony of Allvin's statement is that he hasn't set the team up for a cup win. Yet, he's calling out the sub-standard performance of another.
So what you're saying is every time a player leaves a team or demands a trade or becomes a UFA "wanting to win is a Platitude"

Did the Sedins Burrows Edler Miller Joshua Myers give platitudes when they re signed and could have gone to market to get more
