Management views him extremely highly.

Nobody here knows his locker room presence.

Colorado would be heavily outbid if he was made available.

 

[Diamonddog01]

No way he’s available. Ask would be astronomical imo

 

[f7ben]

He’s a selke level machine who has a 40 goal season in him. At his cap hit his value is ridiculous.

 

[AKL]

You're better off just letting this one die

 

[Mrfenn92]

Not happening

Yup, every team would want a two-way beast like him.

I would sell the Jets farm to acquire. No prospect/pick off limits.

Jets 1st + Barlow + Wild pick of Lambert/McGroarty would be my starting offer.

He's not available! Wild aren't rebuilding or reloading! They have a mandate to make playoff from their owner. Besides Minnesota isn't trading the only good C , and only good young stud two way C they have, You don't have a C like Eriksson Ek on great contract to offer a Minnesota team loaded on Winger prospect, D prospects, and at least two or three good C prospect. So no

Eriksson Ek won't be available when he wasn't for eichel.

I cannot believe you thought this thread would be a good idea. Price is already going to be high. It would be double that for Colorado.

Why do you hate Marco Rossi?

Why do you hate Marco Rossi?

I love Rossi, but he's not two way C, I should have said we only have two true C

 

[f7ben]

Rossi absolutely has a good two way game. He isn’t quite as physical as Ek ur positioning and responsibility was he plays an excellent two way game

 

[thestonedkoala]

Crazy as it sounds.. Eriksson-Ek plus for Makar plus.

Eriksson-Ek and Lambos for Makar and Ritchie?

that's a nice offer. I think McGroarty might end up being a good player....maybe a bit like JEE. Still no go for this Wild fan. Trading JEE to the Jets would make them a scary team, and push the value of their first down. I think he, and not Kaprizov, is the most valuable player on the team. Kind of a strange thing to say about a 2c, but whatev.

His contract status(5 more years after this at 5.25M) makes him doubly valuable.

Ek is a swiss army kind of guy. I honestly think he was what Koivu was supposed to be. He can play up and down the lineup. He's on pace for 40+ goals and even if he doesn't hit that and falls a little short, a 35+ goal scoring center that is considered to be one of the best trash talking guys that plays great defense for only five million and some change is extremely valuable.

Well, Mikko was actually better, though JEE is damn close. JEE is a shoot first Koivu. Very similar players. Big, strong, superb defensively, with above average(not great) offense.

What hurt Mikko's offensive stats was having untalented team mates, injuries, and playing on a team that emphasized suffocating defense.

 

[Drew Doubty]

Okay guys, I get it, he's great. 2-way beast, great contract. Worth a fortune.

You can't talk about him as a 40 goal guy just because he's paced that way for 28 games in 1 season lol.

Go look at his career progression, it is incredibly steady and he’s been pacing for 30+ for several years now while adding more and more to his game each season. But the goals don’t really matter compared to everything else he brings.

He won’t be made available so there’s not much to talk about related to him on this forum.

I've followed him closely since his SHL days. Easily seen 100+ games from him. He's a phenomenal player who's contributions extend well beyond offensive numbers. He just can't be called a 40 goal guy yet.

What hurt Koivu was being injured all the time.n

I don't see Koivu being better than JEE because Koivu had struggles fitting in with players. I never saw him as a swiss army knife of a player. He never had the stats that JEE had either internationally.

Koivu was also a terrible skater. We'll see how JEE comes along. But Koivu was not a natural goal scorer. It wasn't just his teammates or defensive games, which is untrue.

I don’t see that anyone here did call him a 40 goal guy. Someone said he is pacing for it this year, which is accurate.

Edit: oh there was another one, I have to push another button to see that post though.

 

[PAZ]

I'd honestly sell the farm for JEE.

The Wild still wouldn't take it, but i'd happily offer the 23' 1st + 24' 1st + Ritchie + Gulyayev.

That's a very underwhelming package

Ya the Avs don't have a lot of available assets

If Girard was playing i'd include Byram, but with the uncertainty around him the Avs won't include him. I'm sure the Avs would be outbid (ignoring the divisional rivalry) but not much other quality pieces we could offer.
